DANCE
Live Arts Le Grand Continental by Sylvain Émard Danse
September 8-September 9, 2012
Comment on Facebook
Watch the world’s most glorious contemporary dancing event from the front steps of the Philadelphia Museum of Art.
Le Grand Continental is a festive—and FREE—30-minute outdoor adventure that has assembled nearly 200 local dancers of all ages and backgrounds to show off the talent, charisma, and personality of Philadelphians. First created for Montréal’s renowned Festival TransAmériques, the Philadelphia version promises to be one of the largest presentations of its kind in the world.
When choreographer Sylvain Émard began these large-scale dance events he had no idea of the enthusiastic audience response he would unleash. Le Grand Continental is an infectious art spectacle that combines exuberant line dancing with the fluidity and expressiveness of contemporary dance. As a child Émard discovered the pure pleasure of movement through line dancing, and with this captivating presentation he pays tribute to this popular art form.
In short: outdoors, dancers of the people, joyous movement, cultural encounter, grand scale dance.
