La Saison de la Faerie

May 18-May 19, 2024

Saturday May 18 @ 8:00 pm
Sunday May 19 @ 2:30 pm

The Dance Eclectic is bringing an original show to the Black Box Theater on May 18th & 19th, 2024. La Saison de la Faerie is a new format of show for The Dance Eclectic. They normally focus on a story that has a main character, is based on another easily accessible story, and has an arc of discovery. With this show, the focus is on faeries and the seasons. The show will start in Summer, move through the seasons, then end in Summer again.
The idea for this show was decided upon by all of the members of The Dance Eclectic. They have been focusing on “ballet” type shows for the last 8 years. They have never done a theme show. The faerie theme was put out by all of the members. The idea is that faeries can take all shapes and forms. Some are humans, some look like animals. They decided that the show needed a structure and that it would be fun to progress through the seasons. Each season will have a group piece, a duet, and a solo at least. They will also be joined by The Dance Eclectic Studio and Lexi an Mimi with OddLab Entertainment. They have joined The Dance Eclectic in the past and are very talented.
This show has been collaboratively created and choreographed by The Dance Eclectic. members. We are also excited to present our first show that is thematic.

A Walk in the Woods depicts the developing relationship between two arms limitation negotiators, one Russian, Andrey Botvinnik, and one American, Joan Honeyman, over a year of negotiations. They eventually develop a relationship, although their personalities differ. Botvinnik is friendly and enjoys American culture, Honeyman is formal and idealistic.
Note: the play is suggested by a real-life incident, which occurred in 1982. "Negotiators Paul H. Nitze and Yuli A. Kvitsinsky left the official Geneva sessions for an unofficial "walk in the woods" and achieved a breakthrough, soon rejected by their Governments." [ ... more ]
