It explores both dance\u2019s ability to explore large movements and large imagery, such as a faery climbing a tree, but also the tiny movements, and the still moments of our lives. The dancers have such vivid focus, such intense control of their bodies and they are entirely present in the moment, and the show requires the same presence from its audience, which can be a challenge for people who are used to being over-stimulated by distractions and technology. It\u2019s a beautiful piece that doesn\u2019t explain itself and allows for the audience to interpret either as they watch, or to ponder the dances in more depth once they\u2019ve left the theatre. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"s1\">If you enjoy Contemporary Dance, or have never seen Contemporary Dance, <em>Kojira<\/em> is skillfully<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>choreographed and executed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>TWISI FRINGE RATING:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.twisitheatreblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/5_Star_Rating_System_4_stars4.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2533\" src=\"https:\/\/www.twisitheatreblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/5_Star_Rating_System_4_stars4.png\" alt=\"5_Star_Rating_System_4_stars\" width=\"140\" height=\"25\" \/><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong><em>Kojira<\/em> plays at the Randolph Theatre (736 Bathurst Street) as part of the Toronto Fringe Festival at the following times:<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><strong>show times<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>July 11 at 05:45 PM \u00a0<a class=\"button small\" href=\"https:\/\/tff.tickets.red61.com\/listprices.php?performanceId=1066:1594\">buy tickets<\/a><\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>July 12 at 05:15 PM \u00a0<a class=\"button small\" href=\"https:\/\/tff.tickets.red61.com\/listprices.php?performanceId=1066:1595\">buy tickets<\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Random Acts of Dance\u2019s Kojira brings three contemporary dance pieces<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[4671],"tags":[4757,4756,4755,3747,4245],"class_list":["post-2619","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-review","tag-dance","tag-randolph-theatre","tag-random-acts-of-dance","tag-toronto","tag-toronto-fringe"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Kojira - The Way I See It Theatre &amp;
