Today, the Traceables helped run an event called Kids’ Night on Broadway. After the show, the “Tiny Patrons” (as Heidi, the publications manager at DCPA, called the kids) gathered in the Bonfils Lobby at DCPA for some fun activities pertaining to “Traces”. The kids could crawl through the stacked rings that the artists jump through, take pictures in the wheel Brad spins in the show, and meet the artists in the show. We had some young adults who participate in Parkour come perform some tricks and show the kids how to balance on some pipes a few inches off the ground. The kids really enjoyed the activities, and everyone raved about the show.
The Traceables also gave our testimonials about the show. We were filmed answering several questions about the show. We all answered the questions a little different, but the gist was the same. My answers were as follows:
Q: What was your favorite part of the show?
A: My favorite part of the show was when Valérie and Mason performed near the beginning of the show. The trust they had for each other was very impressive, and you could see that they had a lot of nonverbal communication going on. The scene also communicated a lot about the human experience with love because it showed two people gaining trust for each other and was extremely emotion. It was passionate and seemed a little bit tragic, but it’s hard to say why I felt that the artists were communicating those particular emotions. The scene was fantastic and definitely helped the audience connect with the audience.

Q: What did you feel while you were watching the show?
A: While I was watching Traces, I felt very connected to the artists, which was interesting to me because they performed so many crazy stunts, and that made them seem a little bit superhuman. However, as you watch the show, it becomes apparent that the characters are quite human. They seem to shine brightly with the spirit that encompasses all humans—to live and leave a mark on the world—despite the darkness of the world they seem to be stuck in. That forges a deep connection between the audience and the performers.

Q: What surprised you about “Traces”?
A: I didn’t really know exactly what to expect; I had checked the show out online, but I still wasn’t quite sure of what it would be like. I had no idea how little dialogue there was, or how much truth the visuals could communicate, so it surprised me that there was so much truth and so much depth to the performance. It wasn’t just a flashy, exciting acrobatics show: Traces really is the story of the human spirit and the truth that encompasses us all.
