Concordia University’s Departments of Music, Contemporary Dance, and Theatre , with the support of Evenko Foundation, present 60×60 Concordia 2018. The performance took place on Wednesday January 31st, 2018 at the DB Clarke Theatre in Montreal.

60×60 is a one-hour long sequence of 60 one-minute-long pieces without pause. This format was created by Robert Voisey of Vox Novus in 2003 and has been presented in multiple formats worldwide hundreds of times In its initial format, 60×60 was fixed (audio only), but in 2005 it transformed into a multidisciplinary (and interdisciplinary) event, with video, theatre, and dance components. In 2008, the Canadian version of 60×60 was established at Concordia in collaboration with Vox Novus and was presented in multiple formats, including several dance shows. In 2010, it was performed at Concordia’s FoFA gallery with dance and video in a continuous 10-hour (600×60) format, which set a world record for most composers (600) programmed in a single show. In 2013, the Canadian 60×60 was presented to a full house audience at the DB Clarke theatre, in a format incorporating music, dance, theatre, and video, sometimes in large groups and sometimes without a single person on stage. All compositions, choreography, dramaturgy, video, performance, and lighting design are done by over 120 students.
