La Compania de Danza Aeria de la Ciudad de Mexico
"Black and White" Show
Fundraiser for Donald Dawson Project to raise funds for art schools in the south of Mexico
When: Saturday, November 21, 2009
Time: Doors open at 8 pm: Show starts at 9pm
Where: 2968 Dundas Street West @ Pacific Ave, The Junction, Toronto
Donation: $10.
The goal of this fundraising show is to introduce the aerial dance arts in remote areas of Mexico and Central America where children have no access to artistic education.
We would like to dedicate this project to our friend, wonderful dancer and talented choreographer Donald Dawson who passed away this year.
Donald graduated The American Ballet Theatre School and choreographed and danced with Ballet Jorgen and The National Ballet of Canada.
This fundraising event aims to collect $4000 for transporting 1200 pounds of our aerial dance equipment to donate it to the art schools in the South of Mexico. In 2007 and 2008 the Toronto Aerial Dance Company provided free aerial dance classes to more than 600 children in Toronto.
This Saturday, November 21, we would like to present "Black and White" show, combining visual arts, aerial dance, dance, music and opera performances.
