When you think of public art, you might think of murals or a sculpture in a downtown plaza.
Trolley Dances is a unique take on the concept, with 45 local dancers bringing custom choreographed performances to Metropolitan Transit System stations.
Audiences follow along from station to station. The tour, which began Saturday, made stops at Fashion Valley Transit Center, Hazard Center and the Fenton Parkway Trolley Station. Performances start at 10 a.m. Sunday and continue until 3 p.m.; tickets remain for the afternoon slots.
In addition to San Diego Dance Theater, this year’s collaborators – the event began 27 years ago –include the Town & Country Resort, Hazard Center, Ultra Star Cinemas, SDSU Mission Valley River Park and Mission Valley branch library.
The featured dances include “Tela y Tierra” by Megan Curet, “Embers Imprint” by Blythe Barton, “Return” by Lavina Rich, “Slip Slidin Away” by Jean Issacs, “What of Water?” by Bernard Brown and “Tethered”by Odessa Mae Uno.
