BALLET BC apprentice Scott Fowler will perform as a guest soloist with Coleman Lemieux & Compagnie in their upcoming performances of AllOneWord: The See Series.
According to a press release, Fowler, a Deep Cove resident and graduate of the Arts Umbrella Dance program, will perform a 10-minute solo with live music performed by violinist Jaron Freeman-Fox. AllOneWord is scheduled for three Ontario venues in March. The program consists of six works set to Heinrich Ignaz Franz von Biber's "Guardian Angel Sonata" for unaccompanied violin, exploring seeing and being seen.
Choreographer James Kudelka invited Fowler to perform "See No. 3" after teaching the solo to him and other male dancers at Arts Umbrella in 2012. Kudelka is resident choreographer with Coleman Lemieux & Compagnie.
Fowler, 19, began dance studies at Arts Umbrella in 2002 and joined Ballet BC as an apprentice in 2012, performing in the recent In/Verse program and is scheduled to perform with the company after his return from Ontario.
He was featured as an emerging artist in the January edition of The Dance Current magazine.
Fowler will perform in AllOneWord: The See Series with Coleman Lemieux & Compagnie on March 6 at the Burlington Performing Arts Centre, March 8 at Kingston's Grand Theatre, and March 9 at the Betty Oliphant Theatre in Toronto.
