Public Service Announcement
HRM Open Projects artist to give performances at Point Pleasant
Park
Monday, May 14, 2012 – Artists and musicians will combine talents
for a number of free public performances at Point Pleasant Park this week.
Audiences are invited to experience Lisa Lipton`s Window Ballet 2 at the park`s
Gatekeeper`s Lodge.
Lisa`s original Window
Ballet debuted in 2010 during Halifax’s Nocturne: Art at Night. She is
remounting and designing a performance specifically for the windows of the
Gatekeeper’s Lodge in Point Pleasant Park. Each window can be read as an “act”
in a play, a portion of a larger narrative that will be read at night, one
window at a time. The audiences will view the performance from the perspective
of the Lodge’s lawn, and follow its progression from one room to the
next.
The presentation includes musical compositions by Victoria Parker
and Lisa Lipton, Jfm (Jesse Frank Matthews), Evan Cardwell, Ryan Allen,
SpaceandTime (Justin Karas), Alana Yorke and Ian Bent, Ann Denny and Jess Lewis.
Contributing visual artists include Eleanor King, Joel Apple, Maggie Boyd,
Sherry Lynn Jollymore and Lisa Lipton.
Performers include Laura Peek, Tim Dunn, Sam Sternberg, Aaron
Sinclair, Daina Travenier, Aaron Fraser, Amy Belanger, Ben Gallagher, Justin
Karas, Claire Seringhause, Nick Shaw, Dave Ewenson, Alana Yorke, Ian Bent,
Rebecca Zolkower, Bob Redmond, Bethany Riordan-Butterworth, Jesse Frank
Matthews, Kayla Conoley, Dan Joy, Lucia Stephen, Simon Manzer, Veronica
Simmonds, Evan Cardwell and more.
