IN THE SPIRIT; A WORK IN PROGRESS!

Friday, October 30th, 2009

8:15pm start time.

The Dance will Start at the corner of Bay and Florence Street in Centretown, Ottawa and then travel along Florence ending at Bank Street.

9pmish finish.

A candle dance exploring the mystery that surrounds this time of year - the crush of dried leaves under foot, the moaning of branches in the wind, the elusive figure seen out of the corner of the eye that disappears into the dark of night...

PhOOM! invites you to this work in progress showing, as we take inspiring dance out of the studio and into the mysterious world of the Late October night...

ABOUT PhOOM!

From June until November, we work to bring inspiring dance out of the studio and into the world...

Exploring and experimenting with the concepts of nature, light and movement PhOOM! is a collective of dance artists working to transcend the boundaries of reality. Directed by dancer Natasha Royka and musician/dancer Andrea Loken, PhOOM! has been creating unique site specific dance works since 2006. Starting with Summer Solstice and the wonders of dancing candle light, PhOOM! has created Fairy Magic for the Ottawa Lumiere Festival - and Canada's Parliament Hill too:) - brought dance into the Herb Garden of Almonte, Ontario for Herb Fest and used classical inspiration to create a contemporary landscape dance at Ottawa sculptor John Ceprano's rock sculptures on the Ottawa river.

PhOOM! dancers/collaborators Natasha R. & Andrea L. create dancing magic at Herbfest 2008.
