For the Christmas season dancer David Earle is creating a new artistic work, a celebration of the Season of Light.
Dancetheatre David Earle (DtDE) will perform The Shepherd’s Tale, a quest across time for the meaning of Christmas, encompassing the miracle of birth to honour a message of peace.
The work will evoke a modern legend that borrows from a bygone age, preserving the magical, darker tone of old tales of enchantment.
Among the cast of nearly twenty performers will be acclaimed associates of David Earle from Toronto, such as Danielle Baskerville and Michael Sean Marye, along with Dancetheatre David Earle Company members and participants in the DtDE mentorship and apprentice program.
Younger cast members will include shepherd boy Ben Harvey from Guelph Youth Dance Company, and three angels from the Guelph Youth Apprentice Company.
Performances will be presented from Dec. 7, 8, 9, and 14, 15, 16.
Evening shows are Fridays at 8pm, Saturdays and Sundays at 4pm, at the fully accessible DtDE studio at 42 Quebec Street.
Tickets are $20, available by calling or visiting the studio at 519-837-2746, or from Bookshelf Bookstore at 41 Quebec St.
