Coming up: KEEPING AUG 19 - 22 | 12th AVE arts
ABOUT KEEPING: BLUE SCREEN invites you to experience KEEPING, an evening length dance work that will happen at 12th Ave Arts. We want to spend this time with you because the dance we made is about you and it would make more sense if you were there.
We are excited to really lean in and get down to business (dance business). We hope that the experience is a little scary, a little funny, a little sad, and mostly interesting. The art we make is the kind of art that keeps your experience in mind without being too clear about what any of it means. We try not to be condescending, pretentious, or difficult to understand, though we are dancemakers so our hands are kind of tied. You can always tell us after if you feel like you need more information about all the stuff you've seen.
The important thing is that you show up because, like we said above, the dance is about you and it would be pretty weird if you weren't there.
Featuring: Nia-Amina Minor, Barret Anspach, Shane Donohue, Joseph Hernandez
