Immersion & Room to Skate at Nathan Phillips Sq

Posted by Tanja / November 27, 2006

20061127-cityhall2.jpgNothing better than an uneventful monday night for a trip to Nathan Phillips Square. Having already spent a couple evenings there in the past few days, I've got to say, it's quite the scene this year.

Two great reasons why you should grab that sweater you keep in your desk and head over there tonight:

1) The "Immersion" projection light show by Xavier de Richemont. Pictured above, the 15 minute choreographed light show is a sight to see, even if it seems more appropriate for Halloween than Christmas.

It's on a couple times every evening and you'll know when, as the the action at NPS come to a halt and all eyes turn in awe at Old City Hall.

2) Room to skate! The weather is mild and the rink isn't quite packed yet, so this is prime skating time. Bring your own or rent 'em there.

It's a memorable Monday in the making.

Definitely check it out in person... it's not something well you can quite capture in a photo.

I went to NPS for Joel Plaskett on opening night, and the light projection show was really very amazing & well done. It starts off subtle, then becomes the closest thing one can get to an acid trip, sans acid.

It's every evening until late December every hour from 5:30 to 10:30 I believe (maybe 11:30 too, I'm not sure)

I caught the 10:30pm show (which is the last showing every night). I totally agree on the Halloween comment. The music and imagery are rather dark at times. Some kids might not like the radially emminating gargoyle faces!

What I found creepiest was the sinking of city hall as the floodwaters rose and swallowed it up. *shudder*

You keep your sweaters in your desk? Does that mean you keep pens and pencils in your closet?
