Slow Dancing at the Walton Arts Center

Walton Arts Center is pleased to invite you to a special presentation preview of the outdoor film installation, Slow Dancing.

When: Thursday, May 8 at 2pm
Where: McBride Studio, Walton Arts Center

Slow Dancing is a unique project that will be coming to the front of Walton Arts Center in October 2008 and will run through November 13.  It involves three large projection screens hanging from the front of the building, and on those screens will be projected 43 different “films” of dancers and choreographers from around the world, performing dance movements in super-slow motion.  The best way to understand what we’re talking about is to visit the website: www.slowdancingfilms.com and click on “media” for a preview.

This installation has played at Lincoln Center, the Music Center in Los Angeles, and will be playing in London and Toronto this summer.  Walton Arts Center is a co-commissioner of this installation, and is very proud to bring it to Northwest Arkansas.

The project has great potential for Dickson Street and downtown Fayetteville, and we’d like to brainstorm with you about how we can leverage this amazing (and free to the public) outdoor installation.  Please join us to learn more about the project and to share your ideas.  Also feel free to forward this invitation to other interested people.

An RSVP to Christina Clark, (479.571.2752 or christinaclark@waltonartscenter.org) would be appreciated.
