Last Friday, Canadian choreographer Paul–André Fortier began “Solo 30×30,” a month-long site-specific performance that is part of the River to River Festival. For thirty days through August 14, Fortier will be at One New York Plaza at 12 noon, performing a minimalist thirty-minute dance piece that incorporates the urban environment as well as the audience and passers-by. Fortier, the artistic director of Fortier Danse-Création, just received the Chevalier de l’ordre des Arts et des Lettres from France. He has toured “Solo 30×30” throughout the world, including stops in England, France, Canada, Japan, and now the United States.
