Director-choreographer Kevin Wilson and acrobatic stunt jumper Grace Lohr discuss the colorful extravaganza that is 'Cirque Dreams Holidaze.'
The national tour of the”It’s a family-friendly show for children and adults, with dazzling feats of acrobats, dancers and specialty acts,” co-director-choreographer Kevin Wilson said.“It depends on the family,” he said. “But children will be able to enjoy it even if they’re as young as 2, 3 or 4.”“Holidaze,” a 115-minute two-act including a 15-minute intermission, incorporates circus elements but isn’t really a circus.
The show boasts an original instrumental score, while also incorporating several familiar holiday songs, such as “Deck the Halls,” “Carol of the Bells” and “Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree.” “It’s great that Cirque has the ability to create new imagery. We were able to get new set designs, new choreography and costumes, and bring in new acts that make it a whimsical holiday spectacular," he said.“Holidaze” showcases 38 performers, including six dancers, two singers and specialty acts from Argentina, Canada, Chile, France, Jamaica, Mongolia, Russia, Ukraine and the United States.
“We do the same tricks at all once ... jumping on our feet and hands, throwing ropes and catching them at the same time,” Lohr said. Her big number appears in the first act, but Lohr returns in various costumes throughout the show to dance, drum or perform other skills.“I try to jump-rope and keep up all the other skills. It’s about consistency, because practice doesn’t make perfect; it makes permanent,” she said.“We bring a little suspense, too, because we’re always switching positions. You don't know what will happen next,” she said.
