Join local green
building startup Ecoform for this unique opportunity to work

material. Learn about the science behind hempcrete, and about
its properties and applications. As part of the workshop,
participants will create their own hempcrete flower pots. This
event is sponsored by Rensselaer Plateau Alliance.
Participants should bring two containers (Tupperware or
something similar) for use as flower pot molds. One container
should be at least 1 inch slimmer than the other. Please dress

as an accessible outdoor education classroom and community
gathering space. As part of this project, Ecoform plans to use
hempcrete as an insulation material in existing stud-framed
walls.

CIRQUE DU SOLEIL OVO
Times Union Center
51 South Pearl Street - Albany, NY |
|
Cirque du Soleil comes to Albany in January 2020 with the show
OVO, after having toured in arenas all over North America,
Europe and South America since April 2016. OVO has been
performed in the United States in the past but is now back by
popular demand.
The production will be presented at the Times Union Center from
January 29, 2020 to February 2, 2020 for a total of six
performances.
Thrilling more than 6 million people worldwide since the show
premiered in Montreal in 2009 as a Big Top show, OVO embarked on
a new journey, performing the same captivating production, but
in arenas in 2016, giving more people the opportunity to enjoy a
Cirque du Soleil show in their own town. Since 2016, the arena
tour has traveled to 22 different countries, including Germany,
Brazil, United States, Canada, Argentina, France, Spain,
Portugal, United Kingdom and Chile.
About the show
OVO, meaning “egg” in Portuguese, is a headlong rush into a
colorful ecosystem teeming with life, where insects work, eat,
crawl, flutter, play, fight and look for love in a non-stop riot
of energy and movement. When a mysterious egg appears in their
midst, the insects are awestruck and intensely curious about
this iconic object that represents the enigma and cycles of
their lives. It is love at first sight when a gawky, quirky
insect arrives in this bustling community and a fabulous ladybug
catches his eye – and the feeling is mutual.
The cast of OVO is comprised of 52 performing artists from 14
countries specializing in many acrobatic acts. OVO is now a
Cirque du Soleil classic. It features over 10 different high
level acrobatic acts such as foot juggling and Icarian Games,
hand-balancing, contortion, aerial straps, slackwire, Russian
cradle and a signature final act mixing trampoline, tumbling and
rock-climbing.
The Creative Team behind the world of OVO is: Artistic Guides
Guy Laliberté and Gilles Ste-Croix; Writer, Director and
Choreographer Deborah Colker (first female director at Cirque du
Soleil); Director of Creation Chantal Tremblay; Set and props
Designer Gringo Cardia; Costume Designer Liz Vandal; Composer
and Musical Director Berna Ceppas; Lighting Designer Éric
Champoux; Sound Designer Jonathan Deans and for the first time
at Cirque du Soleil: Rigging and Acrobatic Equipment Designer
Fred Gérard; Acrobatic Performance Designer Philippe Aubertin;
and Makeup Designer Julie Bégin.

The patriarch of
a politically

her to start a
new life in
Colorado. Her
aim is to
liberate them of
their hometown

of children to
break away, the
power of family
destiny and the
emotional ties
that bind. $18
