Site Location: County Waterfront Park: North Fountain Reflecting Pool
Trolley Dances, an event that brings dance along San Diego's trolley and bus lines, celebrates its 17th anniversary with a visit to Balboa Park.
In its nearly two decades, choreographers have put on site-specific shows in places like supermarkets, libraries, business parks and playgrounds in Logan Heights, downtown San Diego and Chula Vista. But never in Balboa Park.
​
In honor of Balboa Park's Centennial celebrations, Trolley Dances makes its first trek to the landmark park, with choreographers drawing inspiration from the park's architecture and atmosphere.
​
“The fountains caught my eye for their beauty and elegance against the San Diego skyline. I am also drawn to the interactivity they invite from the public. I have chosen to create this work with the ambient sounds of the water and environment to further allow the audience to experience the site in its natural state."
