Cork Cycling Arts Festival

Reinvent the Two-Wheel!

The Bicycle Ballet

Swirling, Weaving, Spinning, Twirling, Whizzing, Ambling, Whirling Dance!

The Bicycle Ballet is a dance of cycling, a spectacular choreography about riding a bike.

This urban ballet explores the feelings of ecstatic joy when you get on your bike with the wind behind you and the sun on your face, tempered by the gritty reality of manoeuvring amongst traffic and pollution.

This original art street piece (Irish premiere) is choreographed by Chloé de Buyl-Pisco, performed by No Frontiers Dance Company in collaboration with local young people skilled in urban vehicle freestyle.

The Bicycle Ballet is to be performed on Grand Parade on the 20th and 21st of June 2008 at 1 pm, as part of Cork Midsummer Festival: http://www.corkmidsummer.com/2008/events/bicycle
