Description

Arch8 bring a unique performance inspired by Tetris the video game. This extremely physical and interactive dance performance explores how we connect with one another. Dancers flip, slide, leapfrog and tumble over each other to create single unified forms out of their individual bodies. This piece is for the those who can’t sit still, for the ones who like to climb the walls and those who can imagine farther than they can see.

This performance is in Park Square Theatre's Andy Boss Thrust Stage.

Flint Hills Family Festival

Before the performance head to the festival grounds to experience FREE live performances, demonstrations, and make-and-take art activities by Minnesota Artists.

Free Outdoor Spectacle Intrude

Giant Bunnies will be invading the Festival grounds for a larger-than-life outdoor visual art spectacle! Five light-up, enormous nylon inflatable rabbits will be placed throughout the Festival grounds. This imaginative piece was created by Australian artist Amanda Parer in 2014 and has since been seen on four continents, in over 50 cities by over a million people. The title of Intrude is a reference to Australia’s struggle with rabbits, which were introduced by settlers in 1788 and are still overrunning many of the country’s native flora and fauna. Standing at about 23 feet high, Parer’s rabbits dominate the landscape, calling attention to how big on an impact humans can have on their environment.
