As dusk descends, a theatrical host leads the audience – which invariably includes children, dog walkers and local residents – to eclectic dance pieces that unfold in different areas of the park. Choreographers from various backgrounds are invited to perform a ten-minute piece inspired by the park’s natural environment. 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. 2015 will be Dusk Dances’ 21st season, and its fourth season with Public Energy in Peterborough.
Dusk Dances 2015 will feature four shows, including one by a local choreographer and two premieres:
• Kaha:wi, Four Directions, Young Woman’s Dance, choreographed by Santee Smith,
• Bella, choreographed by Danny Grossman,
• Photuris Versicolor, a 2015 premiere choreographed by Sylvie Bouchard and Marie-Josée Chartier,
• and L’Eau, a 2015 premiere choreographed by local choreographer Rachel Bemrose.
Sponsors for the 2015 Dusk Dances Peterborough are Magic 96.7 and Holiday Inn Hotel Peterborough Waterfront.
