Duo pour un violoncelle et un danseur is an artistic collaboration between choreographer Isabelle Van Grimde and composer Sean Ferguson. Featuring cellist Chloé Dominguez and dancer Elijah Brown, this event is presented by CIRMMT and Van Grimde Corps Secrets Dance Company, in partnership with the Schulich School of Music, the McGill Digital Composition Studios and Agora de la danse. 

The work is for cello with live electronics and a dancer who performs with a gestural controller called the T-stick, developed as part of the McGill Digital Orchestra Project in the Input Devices and Music Interaction Laboratory. This presentation marks the initial stage of a planned long-term collaboration. The work will be preceded by a discussion of artistic and technological aspects of the work by Isabelle Van Grimde and Sean Ferguson.
