Cedar Lake's Project 52


One company. One year. One one-minute piece of a documentary released each Monday. We have Project 52, the latest on the web from Cedar Lake Contemporary Ballet. When a year has gone by, you have a 52 minute documentary about Cedar Lake, its dancers, and anything else you would want to know about the company. The series is available as a podcast on iTunes, or in high definition on Vimeo.

It sounds like an interesting concept, especially once all of the segments are released, but it does sort of sound like just a podcast with a little twist. I haven't seen all of the segments yet, but have them waiting on my iPod.

Cedar Lake premieres its latest work, The Copier, tomorrow night. It is a new work by Jill Johnson which "really does take its inspiration from the sound of a photocopy machine". This sounds just weird enough that I would love it. Tickets can be purchased through SmartTix. The company is offering an internet only deal to get one ticket free when one is purchased by entering the code "2FOR1" in the "Discount Code" box on the SmartTix site.

Stay on your toes,
