Circle Cycle

Friday, January 29, 2010- 10:00 a.m.

With hula hoops, volleyballs, balloons, and ping pong balls, you just can't help but feel like a kid again. CIRCLE CYCLE literally revolves around anything round! Life is not only full of circles but cycles . . . endless cycles of life. Beginnings becoming endings, endings becoming beginnings. Imagine looking at the world through a child's eyes.

Choreographed in 1992, this dance project took over two years to complete as Shirley Ririe and Joan Woodbury collaborated with University of Utah professor Xan Johnson using intriguing dance vignettes and narrative to create a performance that reinforces the importance of taking care of the world and each other.

The constant interplay of dance, narration, music, images and costume changes makes this an attention-grabbing performance which will not be easily forgotten by children and adults alike. Give your inner child a chance to play!
