If you're looking for something fun to do, head Downtown. The weather will be nice and there's plenty of fun stuff happening!
This weekend, two great events kick off - the New Library
Opens in The East Village and our favorite Jean Isaacs' Trolley Dances Event
will also make the scene. The super creative outdoor
Trolley Dances takes place the next 2 weekends - Sept 28th & 29th and Oct 5th
and 6th.
Trolley Dances is one of those events we look forward to. Every year, it's held in a different location but when it's in OR near downtown, we really enjoy it, as we love the whole urban scene. Each
year, Jean Isaacs and the Metropolitan Transit System choose a different
stretch of the trolley line. Isaacs and guest choreographers create six brief dances
to take place at OR near stops along that line.
Our tip? Show up at the starting point
for a tour. You buy your ticket and receive a badge that gives you a day pass
on the trolley. A tour guide
leads your group to each performance site, taking you on and off the trolley
for the trips in between. When your group arrives at a performance site, the dance begins. The performances make good use of the existing environment. Sometimes, the dancers will perform near unique public artworks or unusual buildings. One time, the performers danced in a swimming pool. (and they were fully clothed - it was awesome!) The entire tour, including travel time, seeing the performances
and returning to Downtown takes about two to
two-and-a-half hours.
This year's stops will include the new San Diego Central Library and the newly opened Monarch School for students impacted by homelessness.
The adventure starts at the Northgate Market Plaza on 1950 Main Street, San Diego, Ca. 92113. For more information, visit www.sandiegodancetheater.org
You won't be disappointed!
Happy travels everyone,
