On AVCon’s opening night the performers danced us the story of ‘Ayvee and Switch’.<\/p>\n
In this scene Ayvee, performed by Alice Willamsen, spins a gift of silk cloth for her rescuer Switch.<\/p>\n
Ayvee, in the form of a beautiful magical crane been caught in a trap set by the people of Switch’s village.<\/p>\n
Despite the famine and hardship the village had endured Switch was so filled with compassion he chose to release the crane rather than bring it back to his village.<\/p>\n
In her gratitude Ayvee spins fine silk cloth from her feathers which the villagers then sell to buy the food they need.<\/p>\n
It was a delightful story and wonderful prelude to AVCon 2017.<\/p>\n
