Dance In The Park!

by Robin Stiehm

For 25 years audiences have come to Ashland's historic and beautiful Lithia Park on cool summer evenings to watch live ballet performances by Ballet Rogue. Sadly though, that company folded last year.

So, Dancing People is stepping in to fill the void with Dance In The Park. DPC will perform in the Lithia Park Bandshell on July 23rd and 24th, beginning a new tradition for local dance lovers and an extra treat for summer visitors to our lovely town.

Imagine bringing a picnic to scenic Lithia Park (Ashland Creek burbling in the background, little girls dressed as fairies cavorting on the lawn before the performance) then settling in to watch a fine dance concert - athletic, evocative, witty, beautiful, and of course entertaining - all you could ask for in a dance performance. We'll be showing some dances I recently created for our Salon Series, including "Gritty Interval" and "An Uncommon Enchantment". I'm also working on a new dance, especially for Dance In The Park.

You can help make this possible for yourself and others to enjoy!

We need to raise money for materials for a portable dance floor to lay over the concrete sub-floor. Labor will be donated. This is essential to protect our dancers. It can also be reused year after year.

We also need funds to rent a sound system, publicize the event and pay a little bit to our talented and dedicated artists. You probably know one of them: Emily, Will, Veronica, Erin, Brianna and Alonzo.

Our dream is to build this project into a full dance festival, with dance artists from across the Pacific Northwest joining Dancing People. Along with the Oregon Shakespeare Festival, we would add one more reason to visit beautiful Ashland in the summer. From humble beginnings, great things can happen, but we can't do it alone - please help this first year succeed. The City of Ashland and two generous individuals have given us a good start, but we still have a ways to go.

You can help by donating online here, or mail a check to our studio, 310 Oak St. #5 Ashland, OR 97520. Or, go to our www.kickstarter.com site, where you can see our promo video, too! Your reward? A big hug and a great dance show in the park!

DPC is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, so your contribution is tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law.
