about

Description of the Artists’ Work:Sun.Ergos, a registered, non-profit, Actors’ Equity Cooperative, is Alberta’sforemost international touring company of theatre and dance. Its two artists provide “unique, irrepressible, compellingimaginations” and multi-cultural programming for festivals, television, communities, performing arts series, college-university series and schools. Having toured 27 different countries since 1977, actor, Robert Greenwood and DanaLuebke, dancer, have created over 62 productions of classical, folkloric and original stories, dances and legends, help-ing to raise awareness of the performing arts with humour and professional skills. Combining theatre and dance, theirwork sparkles with energetic characterizations, simple and beautiful production elements, compelling movement andan infectious delight in life. The visual and sculptural art are also a major part of their works. This is a company of which THE SCOTSMANof Edinburgh has said, “they perform with an intense conviction, a quietbut total authority and conjure up…the things that matter most in people’s lives.” And of which the SALZBURGERNACHRICHTEN in Austria has written, “…They don’t want to be known as preservers of ancient traditions. They inter-pret the material according to their own imagination…they achieve their own audacious and witty interpretation.”Residency Activities: Usually, Bob and Dana offer a 5-day residency in any given area, college, school or com-munity. Both working simultaneously, they can teach 47-hours of professional classes in Acting, Directing, Voice-Speech, Design, Visual Arts, Choreography, Modern, Folk, Ballet and Contemporary Dance in any 5-day period.
