She promotes creative exploration by broadening the field of research for street dance in Canada while remining true and faithful to the base of Hip-Hop\u2019s origins. Her artistic signature, her community involvement, and her contribution to the growth and development of dancers and the discipline itself, make the company an acclaimed actor in the dance milieu in Quebec.<\/p><p>Ebnfl\u014dh (pronounced Ebenflo) comes from the English expression \u201cto ebb and flow\u201d denoting action and reaction, rising and falling, the constant and everchanging movement of the tides. As with waves lapping up and receding, the company\u2019s choreographic language is steeped in its fluidity of movement. With meticulous precision and laying bare the multifarious details and nuances found in its choreography since 2008, these densely layered works possess an informed commentary. Spicey\u2019s singularly insightful outlook sharply contrasts with what most of us usually dismiss as being trite, and superficial. With theatre and cinema as influences, among other intersecting disciplines in the arts, music holds a special place for her.<\/p><p>Ebnfl\u014dh\u2019s chief goal is to spread its artistic endeavors through the Montreal contemporary dance scene but, also promote street dancers in other Canadian cities, and beyond. Inclusive at the core, it equally values the practices of emerging talent along with those of the culturally diverse. The company hopes to make street dance more accessible, and to generate greater interest from a growing audience. Its diversified public is a testament to the company\u2019s success. Lastly, although street dance is not seriously taught in academia, the transmission of Hip-Hop language to future generations of dancers remains a focal point and a total commitment to the form. Although the proliferation of contemporary street dance companies is a recent phenomenon in Canada, Ebnfl\u014dh remains fundamentally committed to creating dynamic, and uncompromised original work.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-f2a3712 animated-slow elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default elementor-invisible\" data-id=\"f2a3712\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;animation&quot;:&quot;fadeInRight&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-225e75e\" data-id=\"225e75e\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b33122c elementor-widget elementor-widget-testimonial\" data-id=\"b33122c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"testimonial.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-testimonial-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-testimonial-content\">\u201cSpicey\u2019s work is Hip-Hop in real-time; stretched out, unprocessed and raw. It is where the spectator must step outside his comfort zone, inside a space that stretches and transforms light-speed into time-lapses. A place where he must become the witness and take in the whole, no longer removed from uncomfortable things and feelings. The voyeur's story ends; no more peeking through the tiny and deformed keyholes portrayed by mass media. The door swings inward; the shadowy figures dissolve, no more distortion of our culture.
