Come participate in the premiere of Incandescent: Peterborough this summer!
________________________________________________
Incandescent is a ten minute long contemporary dance work choreographed by Meredith Thompson and Kate Franklin. It involves six professional dancers and a very large cast of movers of all ages and experience levels (that's you!).
Incandescent will be performed outdoors, in Rotary Park as part of Dusk Dances 2013! Inspired by the lyrics of Leonard Cohen's Anthem, Incandescent is a moving portrait of the individual and the collective human experience.
If you are between the ages of 10 and 110, if you can walk, run, lie down in the grass, spin around, close your eyes and raise your hands, then you can be a part of this amazing project!
Come alone and make new friends, or bring friends and family along so you can all dance together ...
