For the   Love   of Dance
Funraiser with 
SIMON BULL

Carmel Dance Festival is honored and elated to collaborate with esteemed painter SIMON BULL. We created this event together to provide joy, LOVE, beauty, connection, thought-provoking entertainment, and inspiration for our community through extraordinary art.

​

Our resident company (Ballare Carmel) will dance, Simon Bull will paint, and then the dancers and Simon will interconnect; fusing dancing and painting. 

​

Enjoy beautiful contemporary dance, learning about Simon's creative process, wine, charcuterie, and perhaps most noteworthy, an opportunity to collect Simon Bull's original artwork while supporting a great cause. Proceeds will provide scholarships for promising dancers and fellowships for emerging choreographers; helping foster the future of dance.

ART INSPIRING   ART

Simon   Bull   attended   our  resident   dance   company's debut at Folktale Winery & Vineyards   last summer and   was   moved   to   tears.   He   witnessed   6  passionate   dancers perform in  choreographer   Noelle   Kayser's     immersive   "The Outer   Gate,"   inspired   by the pioneering women   of Carmel.   After   the   performance,   CDF   founders Grant &   Lillian   Barbeito   conversed   with   Simon about   dance   and   painting   converging.   

Less than a year later,   they are    embarking on their first collaboration.   

See  images from Ballare Carmel at Folktale    below.
