Relay for Life Survivors Tea

Nelson Evangelical Church (702 Stanley Street)

Consider the average fitness class: sweat, pounding music and a hot fitness instructor. Now add the spirit of a tiny Japanese grandmother who passed on to the next life years before and we have the contemporary dance theatre piece “KESSA”. The flashy instructor is drawn to the labyrinth of memory where his grandmother resides and dares to dance the border between The Here and The Beyond, taking his fitness class with him.
This Ichigo-Ichieh Dance Company production of KESSA is created and choreographed by Hiromoto Ida and performed by Ida and cast members: Dagmar Galt, Celesttina Hart, Heather Hutchinson, Maya Ida, Stephanie Judy and Tsuneko ‘Koko’ Kokubo.
There is also an 8:00 p.m. performance

The show includes routines from the Super Tots group through the pre-competitive boys and girls classes and the higher level competitive teams. Expect to see cool tumbling and high flying flips You'll be amazed at what these kids can do!

Wassabi Collective — Melissa Meretsky on percussion and vocals; Brent "Gisto" Hongisto on guitar and vocals; Jimmy Lewis on drums and vocals; keyboardist Rahj Levinson and bassist Scott Milne — has mastered the art of banging out severely danceable tunes that rarely are carbon copies of each other. Head-bopping hooks and tasty pockets of funk can swerve unexpectedly, easily veering off into exploratory jams, fueled by the captivating vocals of Meretsky, the band's soul-soothing siren.
