Pas de Deux? No, Pas de Dirt – Dancing on Heavy Machinery in DC
Take dancers from a couple troupes of local professional dancers and have them dance to music from Tchaikovsky’s famous ballet, Swan Lake, but not on a traditional stage, but with a collection of Bobcat earth movers as props.
As part of the Festival of Building Arts, Liz Lerman Dance Exchange along with BMD (Bowen McCauley Dance), bring their high energy dance style to the National Building Museum in Washington, DC for three free performances on Saturday.
The dance performances express the relationship between movement, architecture, and the machinery used to build our community.
This revolutionary concept, dancing on and around earth movers should be a unique and fun experience.
And between performances, check out the National Building Museum.
