Apex Contemporary Dance Theatre's "Dancing on the Shoulders of Giants"
Family Friendly Dance Event
Saturday April 4th 7:00pm at Grandview High School (20500 Arapahoe Rd. Aurora, CO 80016)
$22 for adults and $18 for students
www.apexdance.org
Apex Contemporary Dance Theatre, Colorado’s newest non-profit dance company is anticipating its next main-stage concert this April with its debut of Dancing on the Shoulders of Giants, a provoking and stimulating show which aims to fuse dance with the cultural influence of history. The performance will be held at the Grandview High School Theatre at 7:00 pm on April fourth, and again at the Parker Main Street Center in May. Fulfilling the mission to appeal to all ages and levels of exposure to the arts, choreographer David Reuille focuses on three historical events to portray the evolution of time and perspective. Through the actions of the giants of history—those that were brave enough to step outside of traditional thought—we are now able to stand confidently and assured of a bright and progressive future.
Apex is committed to the education of children through alternative and creative modes of thinking. Dancing on the Shoulders of Giants is part of a larger educational program called Dancing Through History, which compliments classroom material as Apex travels to individual schools for performances. The show covers man’s first powered flight, the struggles of working as a woman through time, and Native American culture, in which questions and discussion material enhance the creative learning atmosphere. In a vibrant and engaging storyline for all ages, Apex’s newest production explores the fiber of every emotion, allowing the audience to take an expressively gratifying journey through time.
Tickets are $22 for adults and $18 for students at the door, or they can be purchased on the Apex website, apexdance.org. Donations are always welcome.
