Beltane Rushing Waters Moon
Spring is grandkid viewing time. That is, the schools here put on multiple performances and grandparents can watch their kin perform in various ways. Gabe narrated a portion of Midsummer Night’s Dream. Ruth and her team, the Jaw Dropping Crunchy Brains, performed their original play twice in competition. This last Friday Ruth performed both in the chorus of a Sweigert Elementary musical and in a smaller group singing “Somewhere.”
Both Gabe’s performance during the William Shakespeare Festival and Ruth’s musical were at the Denver Center for the Performing Arts. There are many venues there from small to large. It makes accessing dance, opera, theatre and various types of musical concerts easy by concentrating them in one location and providing decent parking. Near by are both the Denver Convention Center and the Arts District which contains the Denver Art Museum and other, smaller museums. The liveliest art scenes in Denver are not, however, at these more conventional, institutional locations but at several spontaneously arisen art areas like the one along Santa Fe.
