The Segerstrom Center for the Arts Teach Program provides a wonderful array of dance, music and drama programs for educational facilities.  We have had several of them perform for us.  In June we were treated to a duo called 'Catch Me Bird'.  They are a married couple who dances together.  Their choreography reflects the love, conflict and humor associated with many relationships.  In their dance piece they incorporated several props, such as a table, chairs, napkins and two large double ringed objects.  With these double rings they invited a few students onto the stage and made them part of the dance!  We loved having the guest performers and we think they liked us a lot too!
Some of the Hope University favorite moments of 'Catch Me Bird' are:
"I liked going on the 'rings' on stage."
Margaret K.
"When they put napkins up their nose and in their ears!"
Tanette T.
"I liked it when they danced together."
Lori S.
"My favorite part was when they set the table and danced on it!"
Michelle E.
"It was kind of scary when they balanced on their props."
Darren C.
"The way they stretched out their bodies as they danced on the stage, they opened their arms very wide."
Carol W.
"How the two dancers, who are husband and wife, were interacting with each other."
