London Heritage Council & Centre of Movement Arts present:
"Ahead by a Century: A London Childhood 100 Years Ago", by Bizz Varty.
Sept 21-22 2024, tours from 11 AM - 12 PM and 1 PM - 2 PM in Old East Village
A historical walking tour animated with dance performances, this project tells a travelling story about the childhood of Audrey Varty. It’s 1924 when 7-year-old Audrey gets her first library card and opens a book to embark on a high seas adventure with her neighbourhood friends. As they sail around the world (and through OEV) they encounter dances from far-away places and fight pirates before returning home in time for tea. Directed by Bizz Varty, this site-specific dance theatre experience will feature contemporary, Flamenco and Bellydance by London artists and be performed by multi-generational dance artists alongside community volunteers.
Tour Route:
Begin at Queen’s Park, walk to Carson Library, Lorne Ave Park, Banting House, and finish at East Village Market.
You can learn lots more about the project at www.centreofmovement.ca/doors-open-24.
This project is being funded by the London Heritage Council, but is also in large part a volunteer labour of love to honour Bizz's grandmother and connect to the community. In addition to hiring dancers, we are looking for donors, funders, and sponsors to support the work of our artistic team and increase access to the project.
