Dusk Dances Withrow Park August 3, 2010

Dusk Dances returns to Toronto's Withrow Park this August!!

With a musical performance from Persian ensemble Noubâng, and a brand new host, Ryan Egan, our production at Withrow Park features:

• AKA Dance (Amy Hampton and Keiko Ninomiya), with In a Single Bound -an explosive journey into the larger-than-life world of comic book heroes.

• Dora Alexander (Luke Garwood, Alex Grant, Christophe Brochard), with For Dora - Indie music meets modern dance with humour and charm.

• I Rock With the ONE (Gateway Centre Dance Studio), with a new work where freedom, grace and power are pushed to the limit through hip hop.

• Tribal Crackling Wind (Peter Chin), with a new duet for Yves Candau
and Kate Holden inspired by the ritual theatre of South-East Asia.

• Julia Aplin, with Inner City Sirens Pt II -- a dynamic duo of synchronized swimmers go for gold in a couple of wading pools.

Dusk Dances is an outdoor dance festival that brings an array of high quality contemporary and traditional dance to public parks. As dusk descends, a theatrical host ushers the audience - which invariably includes children, dog walkers and local residents - to five eclectic dance pieces that unfold in different areas of the park. Audiences are invited on a pay-what-you-can basis to an innovative site-specific festival, which is not only an artistic event, but a social and cultural one as well.
