THIS Fri & Sat! CSU Presents the 2019 Spring Dance Concert @ Playhouse Square
by Theatre 20 Mar '19

20 Mar '19

--------------------------------------- CSU Presents the 2019 Spring Dance Concert March 22 & 23 Will feature CSU Dance Company, AntonioBrownDance Company and Habib Iddrisu Cleveland State University's Department of Theatre and Dance, a Resident Company of Playhouse Square, will present its annual Spring Dance Concert on Friday, March 22 and Saturday, March 23 at 7:30pm at the Allen Theatre, Playhouse Square, 1407 Euclid Avenue, Cleveland. All tickets are $5.00 and may be purchased by phone at 216.241.6000, online at playhousesquare.org<http://www.playhousesquare.org/events/detail/csu-spring-dance-concert-2019> or in person ahead of time at the State Theatre Ticket Office<http://www.playhousesquare.org/events/detail/csu-spring-dance-concert-2019>, located at 1519 Euclid Avenue, Cleveland. Tickets are also available at the Allen Theatre on the nights of the performances. The concert features the CSU DANCE COMPANY, FACULTY, ALUMNI, MUSICIANS, GUEST ARTISTS and the new apprentice ensemble VIKING DANCE GROUP. Choreographers include Antonio Brown, formerly of Bill T. Jones/Arnie Zane Company, Tyler Ring of GroundWorks DanceTheater, Bryant Henderson, a visiting assistant professor of dance at CSU and Dr. Habib Iddrisu, a master drummer who is on the faculty at the University of Oregon. This repertory concert consists of both newly created and restaged works that represent varied artistic styles, traditions and music, with special appearances by the six-member AntonioBrownDance Company and Habib Iddrisu. About the Concert: Antonio Brown's newest work created for the CSU Dance Company, Our Room ... Only Imagined, takes an affectionate look back to his younger self. As an only child with a vast imagination, Antonio spent much of his time creating elaborate new worlds and inhabiting those worlds with fantastical toy creatures. Supported by an energized sound score created by Brown, this piece will take the viewer on an intimate journey inside one of these magical worlds. The New York based AntonioBrownDance will perform an ever-evolving work titled Mixtape. Compiled of various short movement and sound studies, this work explores the connections people have to sound and to music, and the consequences that repeated listening experiences can have on their bodies and their movement choices. Dr. Habib Iddrisu, a traditionally trained dancer, musician, and oral historian from Northern Ghana, has returned as guest artist to stage the energetic and exuberant Yankadi/Macru featuring the CSU Dance Company and the Viking Dance Group. Mostly popular along the Guinea Coast of West Africa, Yankadi/Macru is offered as a celebratory music/dance form for a variety of occasions. This version highlights the possibilities and adaptations of traditional styles to proscenium stages across the African Diaspora. Tyler Ring's piece, The Depth Between features four senior dance majors performing to a moving piano score by composer Goldmund. The dance focuses on shifting relationships created through explorations in three-dimensional movement and the negative space between the dancers, allowing for new and unexpected interactions. Bryant Henderson will be premiering two new works. The first piece, US/them, is a collaborative work created and performed with CSU alumna Anne Howard. Henderson and Howard have teamed up with Dr. Bob Roche, Assistant Lecturer in Music Education at CSU, who will perform an original score to support this work. US/them is inspired by, explores, and references the hypocrisy and divisive characteristics experienced within contemporary social and political narratives in our country. Henderson second work, Near the Edge, will be performed by the CSU Dance Company. This contemporary-urban piece considers the human experience of accepting and resisting social relationships and conformity, and how these continuous negotiations impact one's sense of individuality and control. These experiences are tangibly represented by the dancers' practical work of re-organizing and manipulating wooden boxes designed by Associate Professor of Theatre, Russ Borski. The evening will begin with a pre-concert Allen Theatre lobby performance of an excerpt of Tammy Metz Starr's Saffron Days, performed by the Viking Dance Group. This ode to spring weather-which cannot arrive soon enough- features dancers performing simultaneous Butoh-influenced solos. And, as the audience is ushered into their seats, they will be greeted by an additional pre-concert welcome from eight CSU Alumnae, created in collaboration with Lynn Deering. About Cleveland State University Founded in 1964, Cleveland State University is a public research institution that provides a dynamic setting for Engaged Learning. With 17,000-plus students, nine colleges and more than 175 academic programs, CSU was again chosen for 2017 as one of America's best universities by U.S. News & World Report.

Catch "The Other Side of the Story" Wed - Sat
by Malina Rauschenfels 20 Mar '19

20 Mar '19

See our preview here <https://clevelandclassical.com/burning-river-baroque-tells-the-other-side-o…> : Curating thoughtfully-programmed, politically-inspired concerts has become a calling card for the innovative, Cleveland-based ensemble Burning River Baroque <https://www.burning-river-baroque.org/current-programs>. Society’s collective understanding of history is biased toward the perspectives of those with the privilege and power to preserve their stories. The Other Side of the Story looks beyond this power imbalance to shed light on characters whose viewpoints are underrepresented. Drawing from ancient mythology, literature, and Biblical passages, this program of dramatic music highlights issues and themes raised by the #metoo campaign. >From the Book of Judith (which is excluded from some canonical versions of the Bible) to the story of a Siren from her own perspective, we will show the ways in which ancient tales resonate in our communities today. In our continued commitment to promoting new works for baroque instruments, this program for soprano, flute, cello, and harpsichord melds baroque repertoire with a medieval work and the premiere of Honey sweet we sing for you, a cantata by Aaron Grad and Jennifer Bullis. Malina Rauschenfels, soprano & Paula Maust, harpsichord GUEST ARTISTS Sarah Lynn, baroque flute & Glenna Curren, baroque cello Wednesday, March 20, 2019 <https://www.facebook.com/events/335261093999631/?notif_t=event_aggregate&no…> Fresh Perspectives presents Burning River Baroque 6:30-9:30pm Artist panel, poetry call, dj, bar, light snacks 2460 Lakeside Ave Cleveland, OH 44114 sliding scale tickets at door ($0-15) Thursday, March 21, 2019 ~ 7pm <https://www.burning-river-baroque.org/current-programs> St. Alban Episcopal Church 2555 Euclid Heights Blvd Cleveland Heights, OH 44106 $10-20 suggested donation Friday, March 22, 2019 ~ 7 pm <https://www.burning-river-baroque.org/current-programs> St. John's Episcopal Church 323 Wick Ave Youngstown, OH 44503 Saturday, March 23, 2019 ~ 7pm <https://www.burning-river-baroque.org/current-programs> Lakewood Congregational Church 1375 West Clifton Blvd Lakewood, OH 44107 $10-20 suggested donation

The members of this band have been keeping swing dancers happy on the dance floor for over 20 years! Red Light Roxy is a professional band from Cleveland, Ohio that plays an upbeat mix of jazz standards, jump blues, swing, boogie-woogie and a dash of old-school R&B. Its repertoire comes from the Great American Songbook and includes familiar songs made famous by such legendary performers as Ella Fitzgerald, Ruth Brown, Frank Sinatra, Peggy Lee, Nat King Cole, Ray Charles and Louis Armstrong.

Everyone is really friendly and you will get asked to dance during the social dancing from 9-12. What do I wear? Wear shoes that allow you to pivot and turn easily. Some people find this floor a little slow so, wearing your leather soles or slippery soled shoes might be perfect. Attire is casual and comfy. Where what makes you feel good about yourself.

We don't care what your physical ability or size is, where you are in life, where you are on the spectrum of sexual or gender orientation, what color or creed, or non-creed, you are. Are you a man who wants to learn how to follow or a woman who wants to learn how to lead? That's cool! This idea is not new to the swing dance scene. We are the easiest club to join. If you have an interest, you are in. :) We love spreading the gospel of swing dancing and we are excited to share the language and culture of this truly American, urban folk dance form with you. It is important for us to let you know that this dance style started in the African-American ballrooms of Harlem, New York in the late 1920s/early 1930s. You will find this dance, and the ones that came from it, incredibly expressive, empowering, beautiful, and joyful. We can't wait for you to experience this conversation of dance with us. We make learning to partner dance easy and enjoyable. Please join us the second Friday of every month at the Lakewood Masonic Temple and the last Saturday of every month at The Lithuanian Club.
