TESTIMONIALS: “Bill’s uncanny genius is knowing how the actor and the playcan work together like a Swiss watch.” WilliamMastrosimone, playwright. “For several years, I’ve only been partially able toarticulate, or utilize, what Bill’s book, and his teachings have brought rightout into the middle of things, where I have begun to believe they belong, andwith blazing clarity. Austin Pendleton,actor, director, playwright & master teacher. “I loveworking with Bill in his ACTING BY MISTAKE workshops. I’ve been taking hisworkshops for over two years now. He gets us to ‘connect’ with the character inan organic way. He helps us allay the normal fears we have as actors, and ourneed to get it ‘right’, by creating a playful process in which we focus more onthe character’s experience than getting the exact words of the text correct inthe rehearsal process. That is so freeing. I’m feeling much more confident nowin how I approach a character and trust that organic process of developing acharacter.” John Sannuto, Chair, TheatreDepartment, Long Island University.

*DANCECleveland Presents Pam Tanowitz Dance with Pianist Simone Dinnerstein* *This Saturday, March 19 at 7:30 PM* *Mimi Ohio Theatre, Playhouse Square * *Tickets: 216-241-6000 or DANCECleveland.org. * *Pam Tanowitz Dance* returns to Cleveland to close the 2021 Season with renowned pianist, Simone Dinnerstein. The company will perform one of their most highly regarded works, “NEW WORK FOR GOLDBERG VARIATIONS”. Premiered in 2017 to rave reviews. The piece deconstructs classical, formal and traditional movement vocabularies and converses with Bach’s iconic score in a delightful interplay of rhythm, style and idiosyncrasy. Shifting between encoded gestures and virtuosic dancing the movement explores Goldberg’s musical architecture. The piece was called a “rare achievement” (The New York Times). As a choreographer, Pam Tanowitz is known for her abstract treatment of classical and contemporary movement ideas.Pam Tanowitz Dance has been selected by the New York Times Best of Dance series in 2013, 2014, 2015, 2017 and 2018. *Watch a clip from the performance , click here. <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pm_omTvRot0>* *Sarah Sumbrum **(Formerly Hricko)* Marketing & Artistic Director DANCECleveland 13110 Shaker Square, Suite 106 Cleveland, Ohio 44120 p. 216-991-9000 sarah(a)dancecleveland.org <sdurham(a)dancecleveland.org> *The Curtain Rises Again!
