CSU Presents the 2019 Spring Dance Concert March 22 & 23 @ Playhouse Square
by Theatre 11 Mar '19

11 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.

REVIEW: School of Rock (Laura Kennelly)
by Laura Kennelly 11 Mar '19

11 Mar '19

School may be classified as "work" for children, but that doesn’t mean it can’t be fun. *School of Rock*, now playing at Playhouse Square’s Connor Palace Theatre, offers a raucous musical treatise about how to have a blast in school, fool parents and teachers, and learn to be a hot rock star — at least if you have the right substitute teacher.

by B W 11 Mar '19

11 Mar '19

"One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" DIRECTED BY CO-ARTISTIC DIRECTOR BRIAN WESTERLEY A charming rogue, McMurphy, contrives to serve a short sentence in an airy mental institution rather than in a prison. There, he clashes with the head nurse, Ratched, a fierce disciplinarian. He quickly takes over the yard & leads others out of introversion, stages a revolt so that they can see the World Series on TV & arranges a rollicking midnight party with liquor & women. Ratched quietly works in the background to stop McMurphy from taking over her ward. The end is as shocking today & it was when it premiered 45 years ago. ROLES AVAILABLE (Some may be doubled. Looking for a range of ages & ethnicities): CHIEF BROMDEN AIDE WARREN AIDE WILLIAMS NURSE RATCHED NURSE FLINN DALE HARDING ELLIS BILLY BIBBIT SCANLON CHESWICK MARTINI RUCKLY FREDERICKS SEFELT COL.

Peter and Jason have fallen in love with each other, but Jason -- a popular athlete -- fears losing his status if he is discovered to be gay. Unpopular Nadia, Jason’s sister, is contemptuous of Ivy, a beautiful girl with a questionable reputation. As the group attempts to put up a production of Romeo and Juliet, tensions flare, self-doubt simmers, and God’s path seems more difficult to find than ever. bare rings with the sounds of youthful repression and revolt. With a unique sung-through pop score, heart-pounding lyrics, and a cast of bright young characters, bare is a provocative, fresh, and utterly honest look at the dangers of baring your soul, and the consequences of continuing to hide.
