SALT LAKE CITY, UT – Repertory Dance Theatre's "Ring Around the Rose" program welcomes back the talented artists from Spy Hop Productions and the Utah Film Center for an encore performance on February 8, 2014 at 11:00 am. The Utah Film Center and Spy Hop Productions are teaming up for an interactive animation experience on the Ring Around the Rose stage. These Salt Lake City film experts will present some great short films made for and by kids from the Utah Film Center's Tumbleweeds series. Then the artists will invite the audience to help make a collaborative on-stage movie using stop motion animation to tell a story. Lucky volunteers will be invited on stage to be a part of the magic as the audience watches the whole thing unfold. Click here to see the stop motion short film created at last year's performance.  After performing on the series last year, Repertory Dance Theatre is proud to welcome these film-makers back for a second appearance. RDT's Ring Around the Rose is a series of performances designed to introduce children to the arts in a wiggle-friendly and non-intimidating way. This unique performance / experience will give children and families an up-close-and-personal introduction to the amazing art of film-making.
