The Flair of Fred Astaire
Presented by Eighth & Eight Creative Spaces
FRED ASTAIRE—the greatest of all movie dancers—takes the spotlight in this show presented by classic film scholar MICHAEL VAN DEN BOS. Illustrated with a rich bounty of film clips, Michael explores the distinctive diversity and invigorating inventiveness of Fred Astaire’s considerable dance work in classic Hollywood movies. Also highlighted is Astaire as vocalist, favoured by many famous songwriters of his era as the best interpreter of their tunes, who introduced more songs that became standards than any other 20th-century musical performer. So, what do you say . . . shall we dance?
