This performance piece which has toured internationally to Poland, Hawaii and England, was created in 1983.  This piece embraces Peter jarvis' inspiration for theatre and love of the unexpected.

CANVAS IN MOTION is an 8 foot by 8 foot screen of stretchy lycra fabric.  Peter uses his body to maniplate the screen allowing this strchy fabric to fold and impress sculpture like images to the music.  

Peter has toured with several orchestras and bands including, Boris Brott, Chris Shepard and BKS, KinderAtom, The National Arts Orchestra, The Toronto Pops, The Hamilton Philharmonic and The Waterloo Symphony.

The experience of mime and dance of the performer adds subtle ch;anges of mood and feeling with dramatic sweeps of power.  Because the character is faceless and non-descript this visual form allows the audience to relate their own experience of life.  Yet the character shares their common desire to find the boundary of existence.

STAGE:  Ceiling minimum of 9 ft. / 4' x 8' riser and 2 AC outlets (optional)
