Solstad Visit - Update

When Margrethe and Trond Solstad visited Richmond Hill last Fall, I showed them the construction site for the new Richmond Hill Centre For The Performing Arts., and mused, "wouldn't it be nice if you could perform there, along with some local talent?" Michael Grit is the very innovative Theatre Manager, and he is very interested in developing new audiences and would probably be quite supportive. Maybe we could even sell the 600+ tickets and fill the place!

Upon reflection, I saw that this idea was premature. I have been getting similar responses from other centres in Canada regarding the possibility of another Solstad visit. "Yes, it would be wonderful, and maybe we could even get an audience, but then what? How do we follow up? We simply have no resources to support the development of eurythmy."

I will keep you posted as plans for the Solstad tour develops. If they don't come to Canada, it may be possible for some of us to see them in Spring Valley...

Note: The image is a rendering of the main theatre at the Richmond Hill Centre. I experienced a production of Tosca recently, and was really impressed by the acoustics and many other features of the hall. (So many of the modern halls are pretty much dead!) Do you think the stage would be suitable for eurythmy?
