Picnic in Boulder

New Zealand dance troupe EyeSoar Performance opened the second day of the weekend Boulder Fall Festival in Colorado with a 3-minute modern-day circus act called, “A Delightful Show”. Shown entirely through a narrative dance, the troupe paid special attention to children in the crowd with their dramatic facial expressions and prop interaction. “A Delightful Show” was created specifically for the Fall Festival and told the story of two hungry picnickers who only have one apple. The pair fall asleep and a magical dream sequence ensues, complete with dragon fights and stilts, centered around their only apple. Boulder residents Ted Skolnick and Kristen Reisniger brought their two children, Oscar and Nina, to watch the performance and said they loved it. “Yeah, apple!” 2-year-old Nina said excitedly from her mother’s lap. EyeSoar Performance was founded by Annabel Reader and Shaun Oshman.
