  • Is Pleased to Present a Day with David Wilson
    IS PLEASED TO PRESENT A DAY WITH DAVID WILSON FRIDAY OCTOBER 27 TH 9:00am – 3:00pm Stirling Arena Stirling Ontario Explore the creative side of skating with one of the world’s most talented choreographers. MELANIE BARKER – OFF ICE JODY JONES – STROKING EDGES & TURNS A More Detailed Schedule Will Be Emailed Out. www.stirlingskate.ca David Wilson is the visionary behind many of figure skating’s most celebrated performances of the past twenty- five years. Born and raised in Toronto, David’s competitive career was cut short and redirected by injury. He toured for five years as a chorus and featured performer with Ice Capades, and then he set out to explore the art of choreography on ice. His early work with professionals such as World Champion and two-time Olympic Silver Medallist, Brian Orser, launched him as an unstoppable creative force. By 2007 his versatility produced a rare clean sweep when he created the winning programs for each senior event at the Canadian Championships - Ladies, Men, Pairs and Dance. In 2009 David was honoured with the PSA Paul McGrath Choreography Award. Today, David’s reach is global. On the competitive stage his signature pieces evoke distinct images. Joannie Rochette’s spirited Firebird. Sasha Cohen’s passionate Romeo and Juliet with which she won a silver medal at the 2006 Olympic Games. Alissa Czisny’s gentle and romantic Doctor Zhivago Suite, which resulted in her emotional comeback victory at the 2009 US National Championships. These are just a few programs that are part of the skating community’s collective memory.

But the skater himself has something to say to those people: Not so fast. In fact, Chen would rather not be included in discussions about the favorites in Greensboro. "This is my first senior nationals," the 15­year­old said after his Wednesday morning practice. "I am basically here for the experience." The teen, who trains in Southern California under Rafael Arutunian, can blame himself for the hype. He landed a quad toe­double toe combination in his free skate at Pacific Coast Sectionals in November and http://www.icenetwork.com/news/2015/01/21/107030320 1/4 6/30/2018 Tar Heel tales: Chen here for experience, not medal | icenetwork.com: Your home for figure skating and speed skating. racked up an incredible score of 243.89 points at the event. Sectional tallies are not generally comparable to international scores, but the monster number set tongues wagging that Chen, who was born May 5, 1999, might finish in the top three in Greensboro and be sent to the 2015 World Figure Skating Championships in March.

Yet this particular production is the one I wish generations could experience.” – No Proscenium “…the terrific actors and creative production team are — once again under the guidance of the always inventive Firefly Theater & Films — bringing you one of the best shows of the year.” – Stage & Cinema “Caught is an entertaining, dizzyingly smart tour de force, and with any justice, this production will sell out its run.” – Stage Raw “Deftly orchestrated a totally engrossing two-hour theatrical” – Broadway World “…definitely a ‘must-see’ for anyone who loves theatre…” – The Los Angeles Beat “…one of the most unique theater experiences out there….a mind bender that ultimately asks us to upend our notions about how we view those different from us and to separate the art and the artist.” – Bello Mag CAUGHT By Christopher Chen Directed by Ed Sylvanus Iskandar Cast Lin Bo ...........................................................Louis Ozawa Changchien Wang Min ..........................................................................Jackie Chung Joyce/Curator .....................................................................Jessica Kaye Bob ........................................................................................Steven Klein Ensemble & Lin Bo Understudy
