is proud to support and foster the work of area artists in this unique program.
Over eight weekends, local artists are given keys to The James Levin Theatre
and the freedom to transform the space for the presentation of their
work. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

Presented by FiveOne, Carly Dorman and Sara Lawrence-Sucato<br>
<br>
<span style='color:#4B4B4B'>CPT is proud to present the return of the
instrumental music ensemble FiveOne in collaboration with dancers and
choreographers Carly Dorman and Sara Lawrence-Sucato to Big [BOX]! In <i>Extra!
Extra!</i>, FiveOne, Dorman and Lawrence-Sucato deliver the news. From the
front page to the back of your mind, this performance promises a dynamic and
physical journey through our daily newspaper.<br>
<br>
<i>Extra! Extra!</i> is a unique, multi-faceted view of the long enduring daily
newspaper. Each piece of original dance is set to specially composed music to
highlight a particular section of the typical daily paper, with as many
impressions, characteristics, and as much emotional connection and relevant
meaning as a tangible, musical portrayal can provide. From the downright silly
diversions to the most solemn announcement, through the glorious triumph and
dismal failure of your beloved sports team, to the price of used cars, we
attempt to print your favorite story. FiveOne is a Cleveland-based group with a
"no boundaries" approach to music. Under the artistic direction of
John Thompson, FiveOne is made up of 15 musicians with diverse educational
backgrounds and musical influences. For showtimes, to purchase tickets or for
more information on the musicians, Dorman and Lawrence-Sucato, please visit <a

Lisa K. Lock, performed by Amy Compton and Lisa K. Lock<br>
<br>
Choreographer and performer Lisa K. Lock's new work ponders questions about the
privilege of owning a body, in a fable of incarnating souls. As time passes,
memories weave a fabric that connects with the present, shaping every moment of
our lives. A mysterious karmic tale that spans a lifetime repetitively gives
second chances and allows for grasping wisdom through mistakes made in the heat
of passion. <b><i><o:p></o:p></i></b></span></p>

Dirt is the title piece and the first installment of a multimedia dance trilogy

Kahlil Gibran. <i>Dirt</i> is a solo dance piece performed by Medcalf along

<b><i>Hum</i></b><br>
Written by Sebastian H. Orr<br>
<br>
In <i>Hum</i>, four characters gently weave their disparate narratives. A
letter from a long-forgotten ex-girlfriend, a monster in the backyard, a math
lesson, and a road trip to the Ohio Caverns. Four very different stories with
one ominous, unifying thread. "Apparently Dan was just gone. He hadn't
left a note or anything and he just wasn't there. Vanished. And so I suggested
Randall take a look to see if Dan's car was still there, but Randall said Dan
always got a ride, and poor Randall. He just didn't know what to do."<span

style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><br>
Written and performed by Cat Kenney<br>
Directed by Lisa Ortenzi<br>
<br>
<i>McInjun</i> is the story of a geeky 15-year-old half-Seminole, half-Irish
boy, new to the city of Cleveland, but not new to the feelings of isolation
that being the oddest of all outsiders brings. When the bus leaves him
stranded, he must make a late-night journey through Cleveland from the
Playhouse to his home in Bay Village. With folktales, memory, and imagination,
he combats fear, fatigue, and the unknown as he struggles to find his own path
home. <br>

<b>HonkFest!</b><br>
Created by James Krouse<br>
<br>
HonkFest! 2010 is coming to Cleveland, and you're invited. HonkFest! is a
festival of arts, culture, and ideas presented every year in Hohonkus, NJ.
Originally conceived as the Hohonkus Festival of Arts, Culture, and Ideas in
1998 by the Hohonkus League of Women Leaders (with Jean Brackenbridge as the
Executive Director), the festival was rebranded this past year as HonkFest! and
now incorporates talent from all over the world under the leadership of Greg
Musmeci, Artistic Liaison. Come hear actual Hohonks (as they like to be called)
discuss art, culture, and their personal lives. Not necessarily in that order.<span
