"More than just beautiful to look at, this dance work is something rarer: a real novelty."
Bundle up, grab a hot cocoa, and get ready for a winter day like no other as Portland Ovations and Thompson’s Point present Montreal’s internationally acclaimed Le Patin Libre. Pioneers of a new kind of performance on ice, Le Patin Libre blends the artistry of contemporary dance with the athleticism of skating, using “glide” as their core language to create something at once breathtaking and deeply human.
In Grand Forme, 15 masterful skaters move together in flocks and formations that echo the patterns of nature—athletic, graceful, and full of surprises. Stripped of sequins and clichés, this is skating reimagined: raw, powerful, and profoundly moving. Perfect for the whole family, Grand Forme is the ultimate way to spend a brisk February outing—warming your spirit with an unforgettable performance.
VIP ADD-ON: Available after 6 PM performance—$20 additional. Includes post performance dance party on the ice and skate rental. Limited to 100 spots.
