Beauty and the Beat
A leftover interaction haunts you. The beauty of the moment has a life of its own like a disaster waiting to happen should your neighbor’s tree fall over! Physical and fun, Beauty and the Beat is about presumptions that go way off course. You wonder about the guy who lives next door who wants to smoke his ham. Inspired by Tom Waits song “What’s He Building in There,” scenarios emerge of nosy neighbors jumping to big conclusions.

Picture This
A picture is worth a thousand words. A story churns up recollections or leads to new reflection.

On Jan 26 Fairfax-based DanceArtTheatre performs The Guardian, a company choreographed piece for 5 dancers that explores the notion there is a keeper or leader. On Feb 2, Forty+ performs a new work by Carrie Monger.
