May 27 Ten Tiny Dances
Dance and ballet thrives on the expanse of the stage, sort of like playing as a child on the park's infinite lawn. Ten Tiny Dances takes modern dance's aesthetic and shrinks it onto a stage 4 feet square. That in itself allows the performance to happen in a bar or restaurant; it also challenges the dancers. This performance, the 13th in the series includes movers Michael Shoehorn Conley, Robyn Conroy, Anne Furfey, Jenn Gierada, Margretta Hansen, Agnieszka Laska, Tere Mathern, Summer Morgan, Katrina O'Brien, and Cydney Wilkes + Mike Barber. Each performance is short of like a short film, so you don't even need to be enamored of each. At Bluehour 250 NW 13th 7:30PM $15
