The Dance Complex

Through a series of vignettes with live music, you are invited to celebrate, question, and reflect on life in the contemporary moment.

About THIS: Meditation on Love, Loss, Lunacy and Laughter in the early 21st centuryTHIS is an evening of experiential encounters that invite audiences to celebrate, question, and reflect on the real and unimaginable of living life in the contemporary moment. Through vignettes, the live original music of bassist and percussionist Ron Reid, and the dance, prose, song making and soundscapes of Carol Marie Webster, audiences engage with the radical, the serendipitous, and the quirky. This event page is for the live-stream of the in person performance - we are glad to have you join us from near and far! <a href="https://www.eventbrite.com/e/866464026227?aff=oddtdtcreator" title="https://www.eventbrite.com/e/866464026227?aff=oddtdtcreator" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Click here for tickets to the in person event</a>.
