Matthew Thornton, former member and current guest teacher for the Pilobolus Dance Theatre will perform Laden in collaboration with textile artist Rebecca Cross.

The Beginning is a collection of existing and new solos and duets by local and national choreographers performed by the Greene/Medcalf Movement Project. The vision for this project is to create, commission and perform new and thought-provoking contemporary solos and duets that aim to push the boundaries of dance. Longtime friends and former classmates at Cleveland's School of the Arts, this duo joined forces to in 2010 to create a duet for their high school reunion and subsequently launched the project.

Opening Next Week:

Cut to Pieces
June 2 - June 11
Chris Seibert's haunting tour-de- solo show returns for two weekends only! What begins as a classic "whodunit?" quickly takes a nose dive into the psyche of a fragmented individual. Blending live video, film and animation, Cut to Pieces is a poignant glimpse into one young woman's past and present and the coping mechanisms she relies on to reconcile the two. Written by Seibert and Raymond Bobgan and directed by Raymond Bobgan, this original CPT production is set to tour throughout 2011 - 2013.

Show times are Monday, Thursday, Friday & Saturday at 7 p.m. and Sunday at 3 p.m. Tickets are $10 on Thursday & Monday and $25 For all remaining performances.
