Weekly performance art openings (08/16/09-08/22/09)
Each week I endeavor to list new performance art productions opening around the Twin Cities. With such an abundance of companies and venues in the area, keeping track of openings can be a challenge. I'm almost certain to miss a few, but I'll link whatever I can find. Provided descriptions are reprinted from production websites.
August 20th
Bedlam Theatre: Rhythmically Speaking
While often-formed images of musty records and smoky lounges evoked by the word ‘jazz’ are sometimes accurate, jazz music and dance have a versatility that opens up worlds of artistic possibility. Producers Erinn Liebhard and Heather P. Westerlund, along with choreographers Cynthia Guttierez-Garner, Karla Grotting, Jolene Konkel, Kaleena Miller and Karis Sloss will come together at the Bedlam Theater August 20-22 to prove it through a showcase of the rich and diverse art form known as jazz dance. Runs through 08/22.
