INTERNATIONAL DANCE DAY – APRIL 29, 2017
----------------------------------

Initiated in 1982 by the International Dance Committee of the UNESCO
International Theatre Institute, International Dance Day falls on April 29
of every year, commemorating the birthday of Jean-Georges Noverre, a
distinguished choreographer that brought about significant reforms in
ballet production. Since 2005, the Canadian Dance Assembly has issued a
Canadian message in conjunction with the UNESCO message. This year, CDA
invited Roger Sinha of Sinha Danse to share his inspirational message to
all Canadians.

"Dance is what sets us apart and what brings us together. Individually,
our unique voice is the authenticity that our bodies can express. Nobody
in this entire world, the billions of people, walks the way you walk.
Walking is just one expression of movement; there is also falling,
jumping, skipping, running, shaking, turning and turning and turning until
you spin. I spin my way; you spin yours. It’s who I am and it’s who you
are. My individuality, the seeking of my own uniqueness, moulds the themes
of my work: Indian, Armenian, Canadian, Québecois, male.

So mould yourself; spin your own tale. Then come together. Dance is the
great unifier and so we need it now, as our world seems to be embracing
that which sets us apart.

The other is another and he is not my brother.

NO, I say! dance together brothers and sisters.

The more we can celebrate diversity, the more we can be accepting of
others."
~ Roger Sinha
