“Pleasures of Collaboration” Poets, Dancers and Musicians at Play

Friday, June 17, 2011 7:30 p.m.

Takoma Park Auditorium, 7500 Maple Avenue, Takoma Park

FREE EVENT

Enjoy an evening of performance pieces that combine dance, music and spoken word—and join in the fun when the audience is invited to contribute to new work. Meet characters such as the wolf at the door, Jane Bowles, a gay fetus, a sea violet, and a green conflagration.

These    experiments    in    collaboration    were developed by a multi-talented group of artists from    Maryland    and    Washington,    DC,    during Collaboration    Laboratory,    the    culminating project of Anne Becker’s tenure as Takoma Park poet laureate. Over a 6 week period, these artists, including Karren Alenier, Jodi Beder, Rima Faber, Craig Flaherty, Greta Ehrig, Kate Jordan,    James    Landry,    Hannah    Leatherbury, Ashira Malka, Sydney March, Shakaya McFarland, Ken Moss, Orit Sherman, Rosanne Singer, Patrick Smith and Yermiyahu Ahron Taub, explored the layering of movement with the voices of humans and cello, keyboard, guitar, saxophone, flute

and percussion. For more information contact Anne Becker at annebecker@bodywriting.org.
