Casual Fifth Taiko and Dance

September 9-October 7


2021 Fringe Festival

30 minutes

The MAAS Building GardenMap


A performance featuring taiko and dance.

Wear Me Into Spring is a performance combining duets and ensemble pieces of dance and taiko that follow alongside Remnants, a poem by William Leo Coakley. Each performer brings their own expertise to the show, and these skills overlap and complement one another in each scene.

Wear Me Into Spring is a 30 min production featuring multiple pieces. It was filmed over the course of one afternoon at the MAAS building.

In addition to a video, Wear Me Into Spring will be adapted as a live performance as a part of the Cannonball Festival, produced by Almanac Dance Circus Theatre in partnership with the MAAS building. This live show will feature an additional setlist and an expanded ensemble.

An in-depth program can be found at casualfifth.com, including a full setlist, cast bios, and more.
