Do You See Dancers at Wright's Pond?

MEDFORD, MA  — Two Roads Performance Projects will present Dance in the Fells: Wright’s Pond, a festival of site-specific, outdoor dance at Wright’s Pond on Saturday, October 12, 2013.  Four Massachusetts-based choreographers will create new contemporary dance works in four locations around Wright’s Pond.  Throughout the summer these choreographers and their dance companies will be rehearsing at the pond.   So while you swim or take a walk along Wright’s Pond Path, if you look carefully, you might catch a glimpse of a dancer or a musician! 

The October 12th event will be free and open to the public, and feature new, outdoor, site-specific choreography by Monkeyhouse, Brian Crabtree and Dancers, Alli Ross, and Kara Fili/Tara Weaver, as well as music by several local musicians. Wright’s Pond Park will be open by special arrangement for the event, and everyone will have the opportunity to enjoy the beautiful fall foliage, hike or walk around the pond, and experience the best in innovative contemporary dance! Rain date: Sunday, October 13th.

For more information about the choreographers, the event, performance times, directions, parking, accessibility, and rain date, please go to tworoads.org or email tworoads.org@gmail.com.
