Blue Ceiling dance at Series 8:08 February 28th
Blue Ceiling dance will be showing an excerpt of the very beginnings of a collaboration with singer-songwriter Sarah Slean at Series 8:08's Choreographic Performance Workshop at 8:08pm on Saturday February 28th. "Square Inch" is the working title of a new solo (for official premiere in 2010) with original music composed by Sarah Slean. Series 8:08 takes place at the Pia Bouman Theatre, 5 Noble Street. See www.series808.ca for more details.
Horizonteur phase 2
Blue Ceiling dance will be opening up Lucy's solo "Horizonteur" for a second phase of development with the Dora-nominated scenic designer Lindsay Ann Black. Join us for a sneak peek performance March 29th, 2009 at 8pm at Dancemakers Centre for Creation. This event is a pay-what-you-can showing including new works in development from exciting dance and dance-theatre artists from the Toronto area. This is likely to be Lucy's last performance of the 2008-09 season, so after the sneak preview we'll share some snacks and chat. No reservations, blueceiling@sympatico.ca for info.

Sarah Slean calls Blue Ceiling creator Lucy Rupert "genius of dance"
