Victoria’s Electra Pole Art Productions will present a mixture of acrobatics and aerial dance during performances at the Metro Studio Theatre tonight and Saturday.
Complex choreography using a double-trapeze bar, silks and hoops is the foundation of About PoleCraft: Aerial Artistry & Other Spells, a program that will showcase the best of Victoria’s only professional pole and aerial dance production company. Performance artists from Vancouver Island will be joined by touring dancers — including Canadian ballerina Tara Meyer, who has worked with Cirque du Soleil — for both of the performances, and workshops on Sunday.
Tickets are $45 from eventbrite.com. Showtime both nights is at 7 p.m. The Metro Studio Theatre is at 1411 Quadra St. For information, visit poleart.ca.
