The other night at the library there were people dangling from the roof of the building. They were suspended by ropes and climbing harnesses, and ...um... doing something they call vertical dance in mid air. Most interesting, and I bet it's fun. Think synchronized swimming without the water and noseclips, or modern dance without the floor. Here are a few photos I took of the dancers silhouetted against the sky.
What I saw was a rehearsal of the Arioso Dance Company. Vancouverites interested in such things might want to see one of Arioso's upcoming performances, which are on Friday, July 2nd (that's today) and Saturday July 3rd at 1:30 and 4:30 pm. All of these shows will be at the Central Branch of the Vancouver Public Library.
