My toes striving till the tips of your fingers by Johanne Gour	Johanne Gour Danse - Montreal, QC  http://johannegourdanse.com	V.3 - Théâtre Cercle Molière
	My toes striving, while my life is falling out of my hands. Body parts repeat basic walking movements. Other limbs draft gestures of love. Some bodies will remain aloof and alone… Should we seek our freedom? Will one of us stay behind? Johanne Gour brings to light the contrast between the immobility of those who are sitting and the agility of legs free to come and go. As dancers move in unexpected ways, the wheelchair-bound choreographer performs her own part. The audience is pulled into feelings of confinement.

My toes striving till the tips of your fingers

Johanne Gour Danse—Théâtre Cercle Molière

Johanne Gour, who is wheelchair-bound, choreographs and performs in this work with two other dancers, Alexandra MacLean and Amélie Albert. It is an amazing collection of scenes that tell a story of the unexpected loss of the ability to control your body in the way you want, the struggle to accept there are some things you can no longer do, and the triumph in finding other ways you can express yourself. A very fascinating, emotional and touching performance.
