The Canada Dance Festival takes place June 13 to 16, when did I miss that it becamse annual? Wait apparently it is technically every two years, but in the "off" year there is a smaller festival, of more local nature. I think this is an off year, it seems like the schedule is small. So maybe it doesn't conflict. SO don't expect reviewers this weekend at the Fringe, not that it means much anymore with the weeklies gone, and the Gazette not likely to cover dance. Though you then see a surge of people a few days into the Fringe, since they were in Ottawa for the dance festival. "Where's Dena? Oh yes, Ottawa." Though, there was an article in the Gazette some time back about the new building where Tangente will be moving into (or is it an old building being renovated) and the co-director was quoted, no sign of Dena. Maybe she's starting to retire, I don't know. I hope she's okay. I never mentioned it to her, but I met her in 1981, just a few years after she arrived in town, some dance show I think she performed in, at Cite du Havre (when the COntemporary Art Museum was there). I'm sure she doesn't remember me from then.
