Tuesday, June 16, 2009 ~ Dufferin Grove Park
THE 2009 SCHOOL MATINEE PERFORMANCE AND PIZZA DAY IS NOW FULLY BOOKED
For the fourth year, The Cooking Fire Theatre Festival is offering a special matinee program of outdoor theatre for local school groups. An ideal field trip for grades one and up, students will see two exciting and original shows, and make their own pizzas at the park's outdoor wood-fired community bake oven. Register today.
11:00am-12:00pm ~ Performances
Solo Chicken Productions & BoucharDanse (Toronto) ~ Bill and Feather
Every day of the year, through pouring rain and blowing winds and interminable heat, Bill puts on his slacks and suspenders and his tweed hat and heads out to Dufferin Grove Park to feed the pigeons who are his constant companions in life. On what at first seems like an ordinary summer day Bill meets the pigeon of his dreams, the elegant and impetuous Feather. They struggle to understand each other and through dance, movement, puppetry and clown we watch the blossoming of what could be a life-long love.
Zuppa Theatre Company (Halifax) ~ Very Secret Ceremony
The sun is setting in Dufferin Grove Park. One day is ending and another beginning. In partnership with Halifax's Verve Mwendo Dance, Very Secret Ceremony is inspired by various dance forms and created specifically for The Cooking Fire Festival. A short performance from the company who brought us Open Theatre Kitchen and Uncle Oscar's Experiment.
10:00am-11:00am & 12:00pm-2:00pm ~ Pizza Making
Children - and adults too - get to make their own personal pizza at Dufferin Grove Park's outdoor community bake oven. Roll out your own dough, add sauce and cheese, then watch the staff as they cook the pizzas in the wood-fired oven. Feel free to bring your own toppings and other snacks to round out your lunch!
Classes will make pizza in shifts, so you might have some free time in the park. Dufferin Grove Park is an interesting place: tour the park's native species gardens, visit the Cob Courtyard, or check out the cob benches near the wading pool made by students last year.
