Jan 14, 2010: Encore of Janice Garrett/Charles Moulton's Dance/Theater Hit at Yerba Buena Center for the Arts Theater

Wed, 23 Dec 2009 19:48:11 -0700

Thursday and Friday, January 14 and 15, at 8 p.m.; Saturday, January 16, at 2 p.m. and 8 p.m.; and Sunday, January 17, at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m.

Janice Garrett and Charles Moulton's large-scale movement spectacle "The Illustrated Book of Invisible Stories" returns to Yerba Buena Center Forum for six performances January 14-17, following its successful sold out premiere run last April. "The Illustrated Book of Invisible Stories" features a cast of 6 solo dancers, a movement choir of 18, 8 musicians and singer/songwriter Odessa Chen. Together they realize Garrett and Moulton's vision of a taught, visceral work that floods the stage with movement, sound and dramatic action in a dynamic exploration of individual and collective transformation. www.janicegarrettanddancers.org

Excerpts from the work, which choreographer and ODC/Dance Artistic Director Brenda Way called "A gorgeous evening full of imagery, emotion, humor and humanity," may be seen at:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=benfNiy7iz4

"The Illustrated Book of Invisible Stories" juxtaposes soloists against group, creating transformative dramatic friction of conflict and resolution, tension and release in a non-narrative exploration that is visually and emotionally stunning. American Conservatory Theater Artistic Director Carey Perloff said, "It was one of my favorite performances of last season, filled with wit and immense theatricality, a rich combination of haunting solos and brilliant choral moments that look like what Brecht and Sophocles must have had in mind. This is a beautiful piece, worth seeing twice."

"The Illustrated Book of Invisible Stories" is performed to an audience that surrounds the stage on three sides affording unusual intimacy, depth and a feeling of inevitable connection with the artists. Envisioned as a three-dimensional, "holographic" book, the stage space comes alive in a progression of dramatic episodes that arise and dissolve-each illuminating and investigating awkward, delicate and bittersweet aspects of the human experience.

Feb 13, 2010: Twin Titties Burlesque at The Ritz Theater

Thu, 24 Dec 2009 18:47:11 -0700

Foxy Tann parades her afro and attitude in a cabaret revue that pays homage to the naughty days of burlesque on Hennepin, but is firmly rooted in the 21st century. This pioneer of the neo-burlesque craze provides a high-energy show that never lets the audience stop and breathe, much less get a cocktail! What better way to celebrate Valentine’s Day and Black History Month than with The Original Triple Mocha Latte @ The Ritz Theatre! Burlesque with balls ladies and gentlemen is the only way to go. Foxy Tann produces more than just titilLating tease…she’s smart, sassy, and sexy not to mention up on her current events. If you want to learn about something other than your libido this is the show for you!
Twin Titties Burlesque combines some of the cheaper elements of Vegas and the more expensive sensibilities of drag. Twin Titties Burlesque, in the vaudevillian tradition, is a venue for short form performers of all shapes and sizes, types and talents. As they say, “Variety is the spice of life.”

Jan 22, 2010: Alonzo King LINES Ballet at Institute of Contemporary Art

Tue, 29 Dec 2009 12:27:02 -0700

Boston Debut

“LINES Ballet consistently serves up
stunningly soul-laid-bare dancing.”
—San Francisco Chronicle

Described by The New Yorker as being “hyper kinetic” and “exceptional,” Alonzo King’s celebrated LINES Ballet of San Francisco performs exhilarating works that meld classical Western ballet with a diverse set of cultural traditions. Their Boston debut features Signs and Wonders, a work that examines the relationship between contemporary ballet and African musical traditions with indigenous drumming and vocals from a myriad of African tribes, and Dust and Light, an intimate piece setting off the rich variations of Arcangelo Corelli’s baroque music against Francis Poulenc’s otherworldly sacred choral odes.

Free preperformance talk with dance critic Debra Cash, 45 minutes prior to performance.

Free postperformance Q&A: Friday, January 22.

Jan 8, 2010: 7th Annual Boston Celtic Music Festival (BCMFest) at First Parish Church Meetinghouse

Tue, 29 Dec 2009 20:59:14 -0700

What: Boston Celtic Music Festival (BCMFest)
When: Friday, January 8 & Saturday, January 9, 2010
Where: Three venues: Springstep in Medford & Club Passim and the First Parish Church, Harvard Square, Cambridge
Tickets: http://www.bcmfest.com/tickets.html
More information: http://www.bcmfest.com/

BCMFest 2010 to Explore "Core Traditions"
Seventh annual festival set for January 8 and 9

Hot Celtic music is the perfect answer for the cold of winter, and that’s where the Boston Celtic Music Fest (BCMFest) comes in.

The seventh annual BCMFest takes place January 8 and 9, 2010, featuring some of Boston's best performers in the Irish, Scottish, Cape Breton and other Celtic or Celtic-influenced music traditions.

BCMFest #7 kicks off January 8 with an evening concert at Club Passim in Harvard Square as well as its wildly popular, hipster-friendly Celtic dance party, the Boston Urban Ceilidh, at Springstep in Medford. The festival continues on January 9 with performances at four stages, located in Club Passim and at nearby First Church of Cambridge. First Church will be the setting that night at 8 p.m. for the BCMFest Finale Concert, which will include performances by the Makem and Spain Brothers, Kimberley Fraser, and Barbara McOwen with Anne Hooper.

What’s a word to describe BCMFest? Think “grassroots.” The festival board and most of its staff are volunteers. The festival line-up is selected almost exclusively via application, and all performers — whether full-time touring professionals, evenings-and weekends musicians or newcomers to the scene — receive the same expense reimbursement stipend. BCMFest also is a place where generations gather: Teen-age fiddlers sharing a tune with octogenarian accordion players, or grad students hoofing it with middle-aged parents on the dance floor.

At a time when the financial crisis has forced a number of local or regional music events and organizations to scale back or suspend operations this year, BCMFest –buoyed by its largest-ever total of performer applications and a growing audience – is poised for another successful January.

Performers confirmed for the 2010 festival include Flynn Cohen & John McGann, The Gobshites, Triptych, Tri, Colm O’Brien, Kate Chadbourne, Calum Pasqua & Susie Petrov, Michael O’Leary, Gordon Aucoin & Lloyd Carr, Catherine Joyce & Tess Ruderman, David O’Docherty, Cedar Stanistreet & Max Newman, Bento Boxty and the trio of Laurel Martin, Kieran Jordan and David Surette, as well as a family-oriented production, “The Fiddler’s Wish,” and a special one-of-its-kind ensemble that will recreate the classic Dudley Street Boston Irish Dance Hall Era from the 1930s to 1950s.

BCMFest 2010 has a "back to basics" theme, say festival organizers, exploring the core traditions in which BCMFest was forged.

"Last year, BCMFest put the spotlight on what might be called the 'fringe' of Celtic music," explains BCMFest co-founder and board member Laura Cortese. "The festival featured a number of acts that were connected to, but a little removed from, the Celtic traditions: old-timey and Appalachian, or New England contra dance music, for example. We even had a performance by Session Americana, who play a blend of country rock, blues and roots music, but for BCMFest put together a set that had an Irish theme.

"For BCMFest 2010, we felt it was important to reaffirm the importance of core traditions, and highlight people who keep those traditions alive and well in the Boston area. So, many of the acts who submitted applications this year and who were selected for BCMFest reflect this emphasis."

Shannon Heaton, who co-founded BCMFest with Cortese and also sits on the Festival board, adds: "During its first six years, BCMFest has reached out to the area's diverse Celtic music community, through the festival as well as events during the year, such as the monthly Celtic Music Monday series at Club Passim and our annual music cruise in Gloucester. And every year we've seen more and more musicians, singers and dancers come up with some great ideas and collaborations that really speak to the BCMFest mission.

"What's especially encouraging about this year," Heaton says, "is that when we issued the call for performers to apply we made a point of stating the 'core traditions' theme, and it clearly generated a response. There were applications from first-time performers, as well as from people who have appeared before, who came up with an act or collaboration geared to the theme."

Jan 12, 2010: Afro-Cuban Folkloric Dance Class at Northeast American School of Dance

Wed, 06 Jan 2010 08:53:05 -0700

Afro-Cuban Folkloric Dance Class
If you are enchanted by Afro-Cuban rhythms and dances then you will enjoy our ongoing classes in Afro-Cuban Folkloric Dance. Join us as we learn a variety of Orisha dances from the Santería/Yoruba/Lucumí tradition; Bantú dance from the Palo complex; and social dances such as Rumba and Comparsa.

Each class includes a warm-up; instruction in basic movements; creation of choreographies out of the basic steps; and discussion of the historical and cultural roots of the various Afro-Cuban dances. The highlight of each week's class is the traditional dance circle where each dancer takes a turn to put what he or she has learned into practice by dancing before the drums.

These high energy classes are accompanied by a battery of live drummers from Grupo Folklórico Palo Santo playing authentic Afro-Cuban instruments and rhythms; and singing traditional Afro-Cuban songs.

These ongoing classes are open to dancers of all different ability and experience levels. No previous formal dance training is necessary. Newcomers are always welcome.

Tuesdays 8:00 - 9:30 PM
