FRIDAY, JULY 13, 2012 | CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR |
Arts & Entertainment Tunes for Tots at the library As part of its Summer Reading Club programme lineup, the Campbell River library is hosting the Silver Birch String Quartet on Tuesday, July 17 at 2 p.m. This fun and educational journey through music and story-telling is a free family event sponsored by the Vancouver Island Regional Library. The Quartet introduces the members of the string family and their role within an orchestra and concludes with a musical reading of Marie-Louise Gay’s book Stella Fairy of the Forest. Named after the trees inhabiting the area around their home, Sudbury’s JUNO-nominated Silver Birch String Quartet is one of Canada’s most exciting and innovative young quartets. They are currently on a tour of Vancouver Island
and will also be performing on Tuesday evening at 7 p.m. at Trinity Presbyterian Church. The library offers two levels of summer reading programs: ‘Summer Reading Club’ for Kindergarten to Grade 7 and ‘Read to Me’ for pre-schoolers and those who cannot yet read independently. Strange…But True is the theme for this year’s program. Children who sign up receive a fun registration package with a bookmark, stickers, trinkets, and a reading record book in which they are encouraged to keep track of the books they have read. Kids can also attend interesting programs at their local library. Children registering at the Campbell River Branch will receive a list of programs scheduled throughout the summer in their registration package.

Dance like no one is watching at Dance Temple Tired of the late night, crowded bar scene but still like dancing and going out? Well look no further. Local dance teacher and improvisational performer Jade de Trey has created a monthly event called Dance Temple that may suit your dancing needs. The first ever Dance Temple in Campbell River is Wednesday, July 18 from 7-9 p.m. at the Willow Point Hall, 2165 Old Island Highway. “It is an evening of dancing to world beat, Latin, fusion, live and electronic music that is intended to guide people to freely dance like no one is watching. There is no leader or teacher; rather the music will be the guide for this dancing journey. Dance Temple is a place to sweat ones
prayers, boogie one’s blues away, connect with oneself through dance, and possibly meet some new, consciously minded people. It is a safe, sacred and respectful space; a conscious dance event,” says de Trey. Dance temple is an alcohol and drug free event. They ask people to refrain from wearing perfumes or scented products. Generally there is minimal talking on the dance floor as it is a sacred space for movement meditation. People are invited to bring snacks to share if they feel inclined. “I have been hosting Dance Temple in Cumberland with a couple other dance teachers. I decided to branch out to Campbell River and give it a go here,” says de Trey. The evening will
start with ambient and down tempo music for stretching, dance, play and warm up. Then at 7:30 the group will gather for a brief circle to set the intention and then dance until 9 p.m. or a little later. People may come at any time and leave
when they wish; this is an open evening. The cost of is $14 but no one will be turned away
for lack of funds. Children are free. For more information visit www. dancewithjade.ca.
