Global Water Dance
Event to draw
attention to
safeguards
At 5 p.m. on Saturday, June 25,
the Cathedral Park riverfront under
the St. Johns Bridge in north Port­
land will be the site for Portland’s
Global Water Dance.
As 5 o ’clock moves through time
zones from Australia to Hawaii, 55
communities will dance together
over a 24-hour period to draw atten­
tion to the global need to safeguard
clean water supplies and protect
waterways for the benefit of all.
The hour-long community dance
is free and open to the public. A
group of dancers will perform a water
story, with pre-recorded music as
the common thread linking it to all
other Global Water Dances.
Group improvisation will be used
so that all people, including those
with no prior dance experience, can
join in a group water dance. The
opening ceremony will give voice to
local water issues and celebrate the
ways that water has contributed to
Portland’s vitality.
The dance closes with simple
unison movements that everyone
throughout the world will do as an
artistic expression of human con­
nections to water.
Those interested in joining will
meet at Cathedral Park, under St.
Johns Bridge by the intersection of
North Baltim ore and Bradford
Streets by 4:45 p.m. For information,
contact Bev Burke at 503-636-4203.
