Every now and then, I like to take my daughter to see an outdoor show. I looked forward to watching Kira Schaffer's Spark. The crowd was silent and watched in awe two aerial dancers as they swung in the air. At one point, they were mirror images of each other. One walking the top while the other walked upside down hanging in the air. Live cello accompanied the piece filling the night air with beautiful and haunting music. Below a fire dance added another level with fire sword-fights, hula-hoop dance and a fire umbrella. Heaven, earth and hell seem to meet in one place under the Granville Street bridge. Angels in the air floated down to meet their earthly counterparts... I thought the show was mesmerizing. It certainly kept my 3-year old's attention.
