SITE SPECIFIC DANCES IN SANTA MONICA
Starting point: Bergamot/26th St. Metro station in Santa Monica
Tours begin at 12 noon and 1 PM
Featuring: Arpana Dance Company, Donna Sternberg & Dancers, JazzAntiqua Dance Ensemble
Donna Sternberg & Dancers presents "Transit Dances", bringing original site-specific dances close to three Expo Line stations Santa Monica. Audiences will travel from the 26th St./Bergamot station to the 17th St. station and conclude at the 4th St. station. At each stop, tour guides will take audience members to a site where a world-premiere site-specific dance will be performed, then audiences will hop back on the Metro to the next performance stop. Based on the successful Trolley Dances in San Diego founded by Jean Isaacs, "Transit Dances" bring the arts into the community, inviting people to use public transit to see Santa Monica in a fresh, new way through the lens of dance, exploring hidden nooks and crannies as well as more popular landmarks.
