CREATIVE CAPITAL PRODUCTIONS
We’re thrilled to be one of three leading Providence arts organizations – along with WaterFire Providence and The Avenue Concept – joining forces with the Providence Warwick Convention & Visitors Bureau and the City of Providence to launch a signature holiday event for the Creative Capital!
“Three Nights of Lights” will be held Dec. 1–3 and will feature three performances by Montreal-based ice-dancing company Le Patin Libre, three partial WaterFires, a series of events centered around the illumination of many of Providence’s murals from The Avenue Concept, and at least two holiday tree lightings.
FirstWorks Presents
LE PATIN LIBRE “Carte Blanche”
“A liberating, exhilarating, breathtaking experience” -The Stage (UK)
Le Patin Libre (French for “Free Skate”) are pioneers of contemporary skating who defy stereotypes, transforming athleticism into a means of free expression. Founded in Montréal by former high-level figure skaters, the company wields ice, skates and glide as pure mediums of artistic storytelling.
In “Carte Blanche,” Le Patin Libre’s founders draw on influences from theatre, street dance, and tap, applying all to the ice rink that is their stage. With joyful authenticity, the artists combine the best excerpts of their showstopping repertory to create a festive introduction to their new choreographic art form.
FirstWorks kicks off Three Nights of Lights with three free shows of international artistry. Get inspired for a free Ice-Skating Dance Party to follow the final show, open to all!
