Event Details
Event to be held at the 401 Richmond arts building, Concourse level (a.k.a the basement). Plus 24 other exhibitors at the 401!
Times - 7:30, 8:30, 9:30, 10:30, and 11:30 pm.
First come first served to participate, with limited seating available to wait for performances. Sign Language Interpretation available in ASL for the 7:30 and 8:30 groups only. Additional Nuit Blanche All Ages and All Abilities Event to Experience:
Barrier Free Information
Please use the Barrier-Free entrance on the northeast side of the building, the doorway is 36” wide, and also has an automatic door entry. Please Note: the ramp nearest the corner of Richmond and Spadina needs repairing, so please avoid it. There is an elevator in the building. Barrier-free stalls are within the larger washrooms on the first floor of both the men and Womyn’s washrooms. These washrooms do not have automatic door openers though. The barrier-free part of the Womyn’s washroom is 60” by 94.” The barrier-free part of the Men’s washroom is 78”x 48”. There is also a BF washroom on the 4th floor. The door opening is 34" wide. The men's BF stall is 65" x 35" and the women's BF stall is 35" x 60." All doorways that I measured were 33” wide, except for the elevator doorway which is 42” wide.
For people who have intense, sensitivity to music, you may want to wear ear plugs, since the music will be played in the same room in which we are dancing. Tip for you: In general, babies and children are often more sensitive to any noises, especially when under the age of 6. You may want to look into the many hearing safety equipment options out there, made especially for all-aged children to wear, in order for them to better enjoy events like this one.

How Ariel Gets Her Groove On!!!
Created original choreography - both “guerrilla dance” (my created term for in-the-moment, live creations) and traditional pre-planned, contemporary, choreographic style - and performed dance outdoors, in all seasons of the year, for 7 different scenes; and engaged in explorations on the themes of various forms of movement and the body, for 10 additional scenes in this feature length documentary/experimental film
