Ten Tiny Dances ® - Corvallis
April 14 @ 7:00pm
Starker Auditorium
Tickets: $10
The Ten Tiny Dances® Premiere in Corvallis presents edgy new work by local choreographers as they face the challenge of creating dance for a stage that is 4 feet x 4 feet x 1.5 feet high. Director Mishele Mennett participated in Ten Tiny Dances® in Pennsylvania and now brings this unique venue to Corvallis. Originally created in Portland, Oregon, in 2002, by Mike Barber, Ten Tiny Dances® continues to be produced by Mr. Barber, and others, with permission. You’ll see ballet, modern dance, contact improv, tap, Chinese, and Indian classical dance, each compressed to its essence. In the lobby, you will be treated to a companion Tiny Art Show, coordinated by AliceAnn Eberman. This year, the dancers have chosen CARDV as the recipient of proceeds, in solidarity with all who take the courage to speak out. Please come and experience this intense and uplifting tiny event!
Stick around after the show for a post-show talk back featuring the performers discussing their motivations in tackling this interesting format of show!
