Group Motion dancers helped us kick off the Festival with a reprise of Sonic Dances. The dancers started at Dilworth Plaza (west side of City Hall) and crowds followed as they dodged traffic and danced down the center of the Avenue of the Arts. They concluded their dance in front of the Suzanne Roberts Theatre, just in time for the official premiere of Karen Getz’ Disco Descending. Here are a few photos of the event by Festival Photographer Bill Hebert.
