Then at 6:00 pm until 9:00 pm, we'll dance on the Downtown Shelby Bridge, by the Ghost Ballet and the Cumberland Park. "Global Water Dances is a world event first launched in June 2011. The second global performance is scheduled for June 15, 2013. This year the Global Water Dance will occur in Nashville as well. On a single day, a series of dances centered on water issues are performed beginning i
n the Western Pacific Rim, then encircling the globe. These dances use dance and music to blend local water issues with the global struggle to ensure safe water for all human beings. Global Water Dances will start with performances in countries in the Pacific Rim, rolling westward through the time zones. Each group will produce a 4-part site-specific performance; the first two parts local and latter two global. Global Water Dances is a bold visionary artistic initiative focused on the critical need for safe drinking water. Global Water Dances is a model of how to use participatory art-making to raise consciousness about environmental problems and how to bring people together to work on solving these problems. Participants and viewers of Global Water Dances learn about the critical role of humans in protecting water supplies."
