Doors @ 6:30 pm
Performance @ 7pm
MAB is pleased to receive dance artist Jesse Factor for a 2 evening event, where they share excerpts of a new work-in-progress exploring a fascination with the Diva figure.
This multimedia solo work sifts through the nostalgia and longing inspired by Factor’s listening to multiple Original Broadway cast albums as a child, resulting in a lyrical fantasy.
Collaborators Scott Andrew (projection and media design) and Andy Hasenpflug (original score) round out the creative team.
Post-performance discussion on both evenings.
This is a donation based event and RSVPs are required. RSVP now, as seating is LIMITED.
