BURLINGTON, ON
There is something about a pleasant summer evening when one can take in some entertainment and smell the trees and the mid summer blossoms.
A summer dance event – eight choreographed pieces with an impromptu flash mob event anyone can take part in. Could be fun.
KooGle Theatre Company is presenting “A Magical Evening of Dance”, supported by Dance Ontario and the Halton Dance Network through an Ontario Trillium Grant. Co-Directed by Leslie Gray and Joanne Ferguson. Burlington’s outdoor dance event features the works of 8 local professional and emerging choreographers, with over 40 local dancers, ages 9-senior.
The event will take place on August 12, 14, 19 and 21, 2014 at 7pm, Central Park Bandshell, 2311 New Street, Burlington. Pay-What-You-Can (suggested $5-10). If it rains the show will move inside the Music Centre.
Also looking for all ages to join a flash mob. One of the dances in A Magical Evening of Dance will have a flash mob portion for local community, dancers and non-dancers to participate. Rehearsals will take place on Sunday July 20 from 7-9pm, Saturday August 9 from 1-3pm and Tuesday August 12 approx 2-4pm. Email info@koogletheatre.com for more information. You do not need to be available for all show dates (August 12, 14, 19 and 21 at 7pm) but the more the merrier.
Flash mobs are a different form of social organization. The Gray’s have to be given credit for using this approach to an event. The eight choreographers will be doing something they have thought through and worked on for some time. The flash mob will come out of the audience at an appropriate time in the program and do their thing. Leslie Gray has absolutely no idea what she is going to have to work with. Whoever shows up is in. The fist opportunity to be part of this event – which could be a lot of fun – is Sunday evening. I know – short notice but there are other evenings when you can show up and get your time in the limelight. Dates are in bold above.
Try it.
