Dancing on the roof, you must be joking!

Tonight I attended a performance at the Frank Gehry designed Richard B. Fisher Center For The Performing Arts at Bard College.

To tell you the truth I was rather skeptical when I was told the dancing would be done on the roof. Now  when you take a look at the roof you will see just what I mean.

To me this looked like it would be sucidal however by the time the performance came to an end I had changed my mind, yes I can admit it, I really enjoyed it especially when the dancers did a piece which reminded me of riding on a train.

This performance is known as Rapture and was specially choreograph by Noemie Lafrance for Bard College.  There are still 2 performance left this weekend, 7:00 PM on Saturday and Sunday.

I was a bit annoyed with myself for leaving my video camera home but I was able to record a short clip on my regular camera, so enjoy this short video.

Ginger - It was unique and amazing. The Choreograher has a video too that you can access after watching mine. I am gald I had the opportunity to see it. I think the dancers will be doing similiar production on other Frank Gehry buildings. Missy - It was. Gita -There were some other videos, the one by the Choreographer is excellent and another by WSJ .

Jennifer, dancing on the roof I don't think so, I have a hard enough time doing it on the ground.

Jennifer, what an awesome looking building, I love it.  I had to remind myself these dancers were ON the roof, how cool that you got to see the performance in person.

Nice post Jennifer, but I, myself, will stick to the 2-step on the flat dance floor.

Jennifer, that does look a little scary. But for the love of the Art why not. Great video!

Jennifer - I thought I'd see YOU dancing on the roof! It would be fun if the whole audience could get up there. Too much liability, I'd imagine.
