Transformation
Tonia Cordi
This piece is a reflection of the ever-changing evolution that a person goes through in life. I feel that I am always transforming into a new person or peeling away the layers that have suppressed my true self. The music chosen for the piece is a contrast of frustration and calm beauty. Fighting through the storm allows you to see the light and that is essentially what I would like to communicate in this piece.

Since I was a child, whenever I heard a song, I would have choreography going on in my head. I wanted to tell stories, and often made up dances to my favourite songs. I took ballet for a time, stopping around the age of 9. Along the way I lost touch with my creative movement, and it wasn’t until moving to Toronto three years ago that I fully reconnected. As an artist I am always looking for new ways to express myself, play, and be creative. I found a flier for contact dance, which eventually led me to The Move and Ecstatic Dance. Here at Dovercourt, I have been able to let go, loosen up my movement and play to the extreme on my own and with others. I am very grateful for the people I have met, experiences I have had both on the dance floor and after a jam or Ecstatic/Move night. The diverse set of authentic people was what I was craving and I feel welcomed and accepted here. For me, being an artist means creating pieces to share with others, and dance is one avenue that I've been craving to perform for some time. I look forward to performing, and I want to apply my creative process from painting, where I alternate from consciously creating to just letting it happen. Let the games begin. |
