Common People Dance Project

I’d never seen Kathryn dance until the end of the first full run-through of Kath on a Hot Tin Roof, when she broke out in a fit of frenzied bowing, kisses to the crowd and sidesteps  - all to the theme from Cabaret - such was the joy of that accomplishment.

Sure, it happened in her living room, but  a full run-through is a full run-through, and any excuse to dance is a-ok. Which is why this Common People Dance Project has piqued my interest: public dance lesson meets flash mobbing.  A pre-show warm-up for the first week of Fringe, perhaps?

Here are the details from the Fringe Fever website:

Common People Dance Project is for everyone who loves to bust a move – everywhere! Next week, head along to the rehearsals at The Birdcage to learn the dance and then wait for the music to play, it could be anywhere, at any time – Rundle Mall, Central Markets, Rymill Park but if you know the dance you’ll be prepared.

When: Monday 1 March – Friday 5 Mach, 5pm – 6pm
Where: The Ringbox, the Garden of Unearthly Delights
