KOKORO DANCE PERFORMS WITH THE SSRIs AT THE 33rd ANNUAL POWELL STREET FESTIVAL
SUNDAY, AUGUST 2, 2009 AT 5:00 PM
Kokoro Dance's Barbara Bourget and Jay Hirabayashi will perform the SSRIs, the alt-emo-post-punk-avant-hardcore-jazz-rock-energy-noise band that includes their son Joseph Hirabayashi on keyboards, guitar, and vocals, Elliot Langford, lead guitar and vocals, Aaron McKinley, bass, and Anthony Dallas, drums.
The performances this year will take place at WOODLAND PARK at 700 Woodland Drive (Woodland and Adanac, just east of Clark and south of Hastings) on Sunday, August 2nd at 5:00 p.m.
Jay Hirabayashi's relationship with the Powell Street Festival predates Kokoro Dance's formation in 1986 and the company always brings something new to this Japanese Canadian celebration of art, crafts, and food. Last year, Kokoro Dance's performance of Ghosts, a work for 12 dancers, 3 bagpipers, and a drummer in the Sunrise Market parking lot, was one of the highlights of the Powell Street Festival.
