DANCE AT DUSK INTO THE DARK with sculptural lanterns and live music

Urban Pastoral, is a dance made in the present tense, partnering with the great outdoors!  Urban Pastoral is a spontaneous outdoor dance by Chris Ferris & Dancers with 10 dancers, 10 sculptural lights by Warren Kloner, and live music.  These hand held lights illuminate, swing, slash, and dot the landscape after sunset.  As the bodies, lights, and sound bounce off the environment art comes to life in an unpredictable sensual experience.

A dancer in a black tutu and leotard and pointe shoes stands on one leg, with the other leg extended behind the body in a straight line. One arm is raised above the head and the other extended to the back parallel to the extended leg. The school director is opposite the dancer and wears a red DTH logo t-shirt and black pants and ballet slippers. She holds the hand of the arm raised above the dancer’s head with one arm and her back arm is extended and she is smiling at the student.
