HAAN Dances 12 @ 12
Summer Outdoor Project
Co-sponsored by the Boulder Fringe Festival

The project finished it's 12 day run on Sunday, August 28. Wonderful run from start to finish.
It was lovely to see how many audience members came back and enjoyed the variations-on-a-theme day to day. Thanks Boulder! And a BIG thank you to my dancers - each one so special.

Check here for thoughts, photos or video links. More on the way...

Fringe review - SaL says: Overall Rating: Excellent - 5 stars

Everyday bodies expressing the joy of movement, fellowship, moments of spontaneity and connection. It is a blessing to be together, to move, to construct patterns underneath the August sun. Don’t miss this daily treat! Comment posted on 8-27-2011

On the fringe of the Boulder International Fringe Festival, this twelve-minute work by choreographer Mary Wohl Haan used the natural exuberance and physicality so expressive of living out West to explore our place in community.

Audiences brought their cameras, I-Phones, videos and other recording devicse and sent images and thoughts out to others as we spread the love! Check above for some of the links.

Local dancers include: Jen Archer, Laurie Clark, Linda Coons, Vanessa Gerhards, Lynn Israel, Barbara Javors, Liliane Kupper, Paola Osma, Peg Posnick, Victoria Robertson, Jamie Ryan-Karels, Tomas Waples, Mary Willmeng & Priscilla Young. Come see what magic they produce as they surprise passersby on the Pearl St. Mall (1300 Blk) in front of the Court House in downtown Boulder, CO.

(This outreach project sprang from Mary's solo endeavor last October when she danced on the Mall every day at 10 a.m.for ten minutes. Rain or shine it was such a blast that she knew she needed to share-the-love with a bigger group of dancers. Check out some of the photos and video from last years' 10@10 project.)

Special thanks to Chris Aamot for t-shirt design, and to dancers Paola, Vanessa & Liliane for their video skills to keep us on track during rehearsals.
