Active and Interactive Workshop and Family Matinee Will Open Kids’ Eyes to New Possibilities

Horizon Stage Brings Dianna David’s School Of Moves to Spruce Grove on Sunday, October 15

From Filipino dancing to physical theatre, hip hop to props, mechanical engineering to miming, street performer to speaker, Dianna David enjoys playing in all worlds. In 2015 Dianna founded her School of Moves when she realized how important it is to share the possibilities of movement storytelling with children. Dianna and her Faculty of Freshness now tour stage shows and playshops to schools, theatres, communities, and festivals, transforming young lives by opening their eyes to a world of new possibilities. Horizon Stage is super-excited to be bringing Dianna David’s School of Moves to the capital region on Sunday, October 15.

Dianna and Faculty of Freshness member Char Loco will teach a Make Moves Playshop: Prop and Object Play from 11 a.m. - 12:30 p.m. Energetic 5 to 12 year olds will learn basic musical expression, dance footwork, body isolation techniques, and contact juggling skills. Dianna and Char will also share helpful tips from their real-life experiences on how to master the art of self-discovery. Their students will gain a better understanding of physicality, strength, thoughts, words, creativity and passions, and be encouraged to develop into their own strong and confident selves. Cost for the Make Moves Playshop is $15 per child and registrations will be accepted until October 10.

Then, at 2 p.m. everyone is welcome to attend Dianna David’s School of Moves stage show; the first Family Matinee of Horizon Stage’s 2017-18 Season. Using her many skills and talents Dianna will mesmerize you with her musicality and dance moves. She will playfully pull at your heart stings, inspire you to take a closer look at the world around you, and help you to see that everything you have ever wanted is right at your fingertips. Dianna infuses 13 years-worth of artistic experiences into her movement mastery and manipulation of objects and props to take her audiences into a world where stories of triumphs and transformations are both spoken and shown. And she might even ask you to do a little bit of moving too. Free preshow crafts and games in the lobby start at 1 p.m. Tickets are just $12 for all audience members - parents, grandparents, and kids alike. 

Fill a Sunday in the fall with lots of fun - let your children experience the excitement and wonder that is Dianna David School of Moves.
