EXCERPT:
Next week Mascall Dance will move into Massey Theatre to develop their new work The White Spider, which will premiere in March 2010 as part of the Cultural Olympiad. The residency assists the company in developing and preparing this challenging “flying” dance work by using the Massey Theatre’s fly tower.
The work cannot be rehearsed and created in a regular dance studio because of its innovative approach to staging making the Massey a perfect place to test the dance in advance of its premiere.
From January 18–29, NWSS dance students will have the opportunity to view rehearsals, ask questions and train with the dancers throughout the process bringing young dancers in contact with contemporary dance in a unique and personal way. Lighting and stage designers and composers will all be present as they complete the final plans for the production which will be performed during the Vancouver International Dance Festival in March.
COMMENT:
Clear evidence why the Massey Theatre is an essential resource for New Westminster, Metro Vancouver, and – when national & international tours come through – the world. New Westminster is on the map as a world-class city with a venue like the Massey.
