What an amazing evening! It was so great that we decided to make it available on-demand until January 15 for those who missed out! If you already bought a ticket for the live event, you should have received an email with a link to the on-demand recording of the show. But if you didn't buy a ticket because you couldn't make it on December 17, here's your chance!
PLEASE NOTE: This purchasing a ticket to this event gives you on-demand access to the recording of the showcase which was streamed live on December 17, 2020.
2020 has been a year of unprecedented challenges. After the year we’ve all experienced, the word “unprecedented” should be retired from the dictionary! Our virtual showcase will be a way to rise up out of the challenges of this year and celebrate that our Kaleidoscope community is still flying. “Transcend” will be about coming together as a studio community, finding the positive, and lifting each other up, even in the most difficult of times. Join us for a celebration of movement, dance, community, perseverance, and positivity.
This showcase featured pre-recorded performances streamed live online with a live MC introducing each performance. Pre-recording performances in our studio over a period of several days allowed the performers the opportunity to safely film while not wearing their masks, if they chose. During filming there were minimal people present in the studio; just the performer and one to two staff doing the filming. The performers removed their masks only when actively recording and replaced them immediately after and between takes. Staff who were doing the filming maintained extra distance at all times and were provided with medical grade masks to use during the filming. The studio was completely sanitized and aired out between each filming session. We practiced an abundance of caution and care in order to keep our community safe.
Tickets for this event (including access to the on demand recording post-show) will be by donation. We understand these are difficult financial times for many. The minimum suggested donation is $10 per individual that will be viewing (only one ticket is needed per household that will be viewing together) however you can choose to donate any amount. Proceeds from ticket sales will help the studio cover overhead expenses as we continue to operate with greatly reduced capacity and increased costs due to the COVID-19 pandemic and increased public health measures. We will also continue to donate 10% of all proceeds from the show to SASC of Waterloo Region. An initial donation is being made after the live streamed show and a second donation will be made after January 15th when the on-demand show ends.
