We have been asked about the possibility of providing fencers to appear on stage at a performance of Swan Lake put on by the Wilmington Ballet Company. This would entail being at their performance at 7 pm on Friday June 10th, a dress rehearsal from 4-5 on June 6th, and possibly one other performance.
I don’t have the timing for the piece yet, (it is just one section of music, we won’t be on the whole ballet), but it would mean us taking some time to plan out what we are doing. We might be doing some things as a total group, in smaller groups or duos, or both. We might have some of our more precise fencers doing things in the aisles. But it will take some work. The fencers can be of any age. We would be in full uniforms, meaning loaning out knickers, etc. if you don’t have them. We will be under masks when actually fencing for safety reasons.
In return, the club will get a spot on the Ballet Company’s website, an ad in the program for the event, and the opportunity to put some fencers in the lobby prior to the performance. That makes this a good way to get a lot of public exposure for us.
If you would be interested, and can commit to it, please let me know ASAP so I can see if we have the numbers to make this work for both parties.
