FREE EVENT FOR CAMPERS
The Dragons Egg and Mystic Paper Beasts present this performance and workshop, led by Marya Ursin and Dan Potter and partly by NEFA ARTS, New England States Touring (NEST) Grant.

Presented by The Dragons Egg and partially supported by New England States Touring (NEST) Grant from NEFA ARTS. The Company will be performing and hosting a workshop with movement and arts and crafts led by Artist Director Alison Cook-Beatty and her company dancers, Maddie Burnett, Ioanna Ioannides, Payton Primer, TomIzlav Nevistić, Madeline Kuhlke, Jacob Blank, and Emily Masia.
The theme of the performance is based on Alison’s work “Murmuration,” set to Italian Composer Ottorino Respighi: Gli Uccelli The Birds. This piece is heavily inspired by the aerial ballet of the starlings that gather in flocks called murmurations. The dancers will perform a site-specific dance variation within the beautiful outdoor space of Denison Pequotsepos Nature Center.
We are honored to perform this piece based on birds at the Nature Center. Denison is a federally licensed wildlife rehabilitation and education facility that regularly takes in, rehabilitates, and cares for native creatures. Their goal is to release healthy animals back into areas of suitable habitat and specialize in birds of prey and songbirds.

Audience Members will participate in folding origami cranes with the dancers that will be collected and be a part of an art exhibition at Windhover Performing Arts Center in Rockport, MA. Bird masks will also be created, and movements from the dance will be introduced to those who would like to participate.

Tickets are $25 in advance, $30 at the door, and $20 for students and seniors for each program, and $60 for all three programs.
The Festival will feature 30 dancemakers from the New York Metro area and from across the country, and from Korea, Japan and Germany selected by a panel of distinguished presenters and dance artists. WHITE WAVE’s Artistic Director Young Soon Kim founded the SoloDuo Dance Festival in 2016.
The program celebrates the unique art of the solo and duet—formats often favored by early-stage choreographers as their companies begin to find their paths within the dance world. The Festival creates new opportunities to display the latest work of both emerging and mid-career choreographers, offering vivid experiences for audiences with the goal of discovering and nurturing young talent. Dixon Place exemplifies a one of-a kind intimate venue that is particularly well-suited to showcase the artistry of solo and duet performances.
WHITE WAVE’s mission is to act as a potent stimulus to expand the horizons of dance by producing dance concerts, festivals, residencies, and educational activities. WHITE WAVE provides dancemakers an opportunity to congregate, create, and present new works on prestigious stages to the discerning NYC audience.
