Kaleidoscope Dance Company Gift of Dance Concert
Join Kaleidoscope Dance Company, with Mosaic Junior Company, as they present the Gift of Dance, an afternoon of original, new modern dance works choreographed by youth ages 7-17. This year Kaleidoscope dancers are creating work inspired by paintings. Dancers have chosen paintings by a diverse group of visual artists including M.C. Escher, Banksy, Seattle muralist Ryan Henry Ward, Danish painter Anna Archer, and Salvador Dali as the motivation for their choreography.
Mosaic Junior Company shares an original piece about climate change. Using rhythmic chanting and music by Seattle composer Mark D. Cooper, the 10 young dancers highlight issues affecting our planet, such as mass extinction, melting glaciers, and the proliferation of plastic products. The piece encourages us to reflect on how climate change will drastically affect younger generations and ends with the hope that humans will work together in harmony with nature to re-address the balance.
Kaleidoscope Dance Company engages in a collaborative process in multi-age groups, using choreographic forms and devices to compose work that is deeply personal yet universal in its appeal to audiences of all ages.
Enliven your holiday season with this inspiring, uplifting, and family-friendly concert as Kaleidoscope Dance Company shares the Gift of Dance with you. This vibrant show shares a message of peace, hope, and cooperation, especially meaningful during the holiday season.
Audience members are invited to join the company dancers and Artistic Director Anna Mansbridge on stage for a community dance during intermission!
Silent Auction (themed gift baskets and delectable desserts) to benefit the Creative Dance Center begins at 3:00 and continues through intermission. This is a great chance to get some early holiday shopping done!
Delicious, homemade concessions are available prior to the show and during intermission.
