In conjunction with the Acadia Dance Festival, Nimbus Dance returns to Bar Harbor’s 1932 Criterion Theatre for two performances on Sunday, February 25th at 3 pm, and a free school performance on Monday, February 26th at 10 am. Known for visceral and emotionally evocative dance, Nimbus presents a diverse collection of works including one of Artistic Director Samuel Pott’s signature pieces Surface Tension, a deeply moving dance called “best of 2016” (Huffington Post), which was inspired by the dramatic coastline of Maine. Nimbus also presents Dawn Bazemore’s The New Tide, set to the iconic music of Sam Cooke and integrating photography of Gordon Parks. Tickets: www.criteriontheatre.org

Nimbus Dance plans to return to the Criterion Theatre for the second annual Acadia Dance Festival, bringing world-class dance to Mount Desert Island, including performances, workshops, artist talks, and opportunities for MDI community members and visitors to engage closely with dance.

Nimbus will anchor the July 2020 performances with a showing of superbly rendered, highly physical, and emotionally gripping dance. A curated group of choreographers from the greater New England region will present work alongside Nimbus at the 1932 Criterion Theater in Bar Harbor, Maine.

This year the festival will expand its educational reach to include a Summer Intensive by offering a week-long Summer Intensive for young dancers. The intensive is designed for young dancers in high school and immediately after who have previously studied dance and are looking to expand their technique, creativity, and performance skills.

Additionally, Acadia Dance Festival will once again partner with Camp Beech Cliff, Summer Festival of the Arts, the Jesup Memorial Library, and the Southwest Harbor Public Library to offer engaging dance programs for children and families on MDI.

Visit us at acadiadancefestival.org to register, learn more, and stay updated as we closely monitor the impact that the COVID-19 pandemic may have on these programs.
