SummerDance Pippy Park July 28 & 29

Here is info about our piece we will be performing this week end in the SummerDance Festival. Performance times are between 2 & 4 each day. There are a variety of other groups performing as well.

A new work in three movements by Sandra Blackmore, " Whispers Across Seas.....a Beacon From Beyond," is contemporary in movement and energy, yet draws on the strength of classical technique.

Beginning with a Celtic inspired contemporary composition by Kim Robertson, this dance continues with two contrasting pieces by Secret Garden highlighting their pan European evocative voice.

Featuring both group and solo passages, the dance showcases the talents of Colleen Quigley, Beth Pardy and Robyn Breen.

Sandra Blackmore has been a teacher and performer in the province for many years and has worked with numerous dance and theatre groups. Having worked primarily at her own studio for some 25 years, Sandra has also been in demand as a guest teacher and choreographer. She served on the Newfoundland and Labrador Arts Council as dance representative and Chairperson from 1998 - 2004.
Sandra is presently preparing for new adventures, that will divide her time between 'South of the Border" , Toronto. and Newfoundland.

All three dancers are departing to Toronto in September to further their dance studies. Colleen will be attending U of T, doing her Masters in Archives with a special interest in preserving dance history. Beth is currently excelling in the Teacher Training Program at the National Ballet School, and Robyn is venturing to York University in pursuit of an undergraduate degree in dance.
