91自拍论坛 dance affiliate StrikeTime Dance Theatre will present a live dance event for children, 鈥淒ancing Through the Pages: Illustrations,鈥� on Saturday, Jan. 20, at 7 p.m. in the Knickerbocker Theatre in downtown Holland. The performance was originally scheduled for Friday, Jan. 12, but was postponed due to the recent winter storm.
The public is invited. Admission is free.
All of the works on the program have been inspired by illustrations in art and literature, including pen and ink drawings, Dr. Seuss, graphic novels and more. Nicole Flinn-Culver, artistic director, worked collaboratively with choreographers, students and Zeeland Public Schools visual arts teachers to develop a performance that shares the connections between dance and visual art.
The program will include 鈥淧en and Ink鈥�-sharing techniques of hatching, cross-hatching, scribbling and stippling through movement, along with other narrative illustrations inspired by 鈥淲hy the Sun and Moon are in the Sky,鈥� Dr. Seuss鈥� 鈥淲ocket in my Pocket,鈥� and Shel Silverstein鈥檚, 鈥淚ckle Me, Pickle Me, Tickle Me Too.鈥� A new work, 鈥淭he Lost Beats of Rhythm City,鈥� explores the perspective of taking the viewer on an adventure of a graphic novel.
This learning experience will be brought to life through a collaboration with StrikeTime Dance Theatre. All Zeeland Public Schools third-grade students will be attending a live performance at the Knickerbocker in conjunction with learning about the artists in school. Student artwork will be on display in the theater during performances.
