Akron*, founder
and Artistic Director Larry Keigwin’s take on iconic elements of Akron past
and present. Set to the well-known score by Ravel, the piece will include
50-75 area residents to celebrate the city in dance and theatrical movement.
This work will follow in the footsteps of Keigwin’s *Bolero NYC*, which *The
New York Times* praised as “a joyful and breathtakingly clever celebration
of the city and its people.” Other site-specific Bolero pieces have been set
in Denver, Santa Barbara and Connecticut.

You don't need to be a performer, you just need live in the area and want to
move on stage. Rehearsals will take place in the evenings from Tuesday,
September 21st through the performance on October 2nd.  Flexible and

tickets to the performance, plus discounts for additional tickets. *
