DIAVOLO

APPLAUSE SERIES SCHOOL PERFORMANCE

DIAVOLO

GRADES 4-12 • CAPACITY 2,000
CIVIC CENTER MAIN HALL

Performance length: 60 minutes

*ONE PERFORMANCE ONLY*

Diavolo- comprised of dancers, gymnasts, and actors- brings new heights and creativity to the world of dance. The company creates their performances collaboratively, drawing inspiration from the dreamlike sets that form an intrinsic part of each work. Everyday items such as doors, chairs, and stairways provide the backdrop for dramatic movement - leaping, flying, twirling - that create metaphors for the challenges of relationships and the human condition. This special performance for school audiences will contain excerpts from the company's repertoire as well as emphasize the importance of trust and teamwork. Known for its accessible style, Diavolo is a wonderful company to introduce students to dance.

Theater tours available following this performance. Advance registration required.
