“Dance Me” … a multi-media arts collaboration is currently being created by Edmonton artist Larisa Sembaliuk Cheladyn. Cohen’s words are often inseparable from his music. This series of 15 paintings - inspired by words, music, song and dance will be unveiled next July in the Rice Theatre as part of the 2008 International Leonard Cohen Festival. A special event will feature several of Larisa’s paintings being brought to life by the staff, students and alumi of the dance department of Victoria School.
The creation of this collection marks a period of growth in Larisa’s works as she begins to collaborate with other artists to create new ideas and images. Interpreting the works of an internationally acclaimed Canadian icon Leonard Cohen has initiated a dialogue between artist and poet. Combining the visual images with musical and choreographic interpretations of the same thematic materials increases the breadth of the experiences that can be shared with others.
