TWILIGHT TIME FOR
THE MIDSUMMER FAIRY BALL,
SATURDAY, JUNE 16th, 7 TO 9p.m.
Twilight Time for the Midsummer Fairy Ball
Come to the Fairy Ball! Paseo Artists invite children and parents to the 17th annual Fairy Ball on Saturday, June 16 from 7:00 until 9:00 pm. This delightful summer’s evening harkens whimsical children of all ages to appear as if they have opened a fairy book and stepped out of a tale. Children may dress up as a character from fairy land, and create an evening of colorful music and dance in the historic Crown Jewel Amphitheater located at First Christian Church, 3700 N Walker.
The wonder begins at home before the Fairy Ball. Children can use imaginative thinking and creative play to make a costume from the resources they have at their fingertips. Parents are encouraged to become part of the treasure hunt to find forgotten fancies tucked away in closets, old trunks, dusty boxes and attics. Families can also take a trip to a local thrift store to rag pick from vintage clothing, formals, and whatnots. Intriguing keepsakes with their own stories can be discovered and designed into amazing costumes. When you see through the eyes of imagination, you will have ideas for building a make believe frock. A tuck here, a stitch there, a glittering jewel, something rough or fine, and a wish is all that a costume needs to become yours.
“How shall we beguile this summer’s eve if not with some delight?” asks Lorrie Keller, director of StarDanceSwan and creator of the ball. “Children in their costumes bring the Fairy Ball to life. We are awaiting the appearance of fanciful bugs, blossoms, elves, trolls, fairies, imps, comets, moon men, dragons, and more. Have fun with your own originality; any fanciful character that can be imagined is welcome.”
The Fairy Ball begins at 7:00 p.m. with ‘Flower Magic. Nestled around the trees, children can finish their costumes with their weavings of real flowers and leaves. As twilight approaches, around 7:50 pm, the StarDanceSwan Fairies spin color into motion and invite all children to follow them in rounds of dance. Children are encouraged to move in their naturally expressive ways to music befitting a Fairy Ball. Steve McLinn’s original Ojas Music bedazzles ears and helps little feet spin to his electric acoustical fusion sounds. When the evening grows darker, colors brighten and the music reaches
the stars. Parents can watch their children dance or dance with them in a special area.
Surrounded by trees and lights everyone can gaze into the starry sky while they dance in
their own ways. The ones who bring Midsummer’s Twilight Time into their hearts are
creating opportunities to feel delight and wonder.
On the evening of the Fairy Ball, everyone gathers at the Crown Jewel Amphitheater
located at First Christian Church at 3700 N Walker, just north of the dome and church
building. ‘Flower Magic’ is from 7:00 to 7:50 pm. The dance follows until 9:00 pm.
The Fairy Ball is free to the public; donations are appreciated to help offset the costs of
the event. Children must be accompanied by adults. In the event of inclement weather, a
rain date will be announced for a later time. The Fairy Ball is made possible through the
support of the Oklahoma Arts Council, Paseo Arts Association and Theatre Upon a
StarDanceSwan. For more information call the Paseo Arts Association at 525-2688 or
