TRAVESTY DANCE GROUP kicks things up a notch answering age-old question in dance: “But what (the heck) does it mean?”
Ever wonder about the meaning of dance? Especially, modern dance? On November 3, 2007, Travesty Dance Group meets your questions head on through an exciting new interactive performance titled “Framing Dance.” As part of their on-going 10th anniversary celebration, TDG leaps into the turbulent waters of interpretation, imagination, and the aesthetic experience. Using a narrative framework as the springboard, TDG and the audience will consider content through story telling under the guidance of Director Karen Stokes. The audience will engage with the dancers and choreographer through out the performance by hands-on participation (volunteers will be recruited on the spot) and an open dialogue. ONE-NIGHT ONLY! Tickets priced affordably: $5.00 for students, $10.00 for adults.
