FRIDAY 6/5
A Night with The Dance Complex: Ten Tiny Dances® 2019
7PM EST
Ten Tiny Dances® featuring choreography by fourteen local artists, each challenged to investigate the constrictions of space and time by creating dances on a 4’ by 4’ platform, and performing inches away from the audience. Within the casually intimate environment of Studio 7, audiences were immersed in the exciting and dynamic results of these challenges
The format for Ten Tiny Dances® was created in Portland, Oregon in 2002 by founder Mike Barber, and has delighted audiences across the country bringing local and regional artists to the forefront. The limitations of space and the awkward closeness to the audience has brought innovation to the artistry of dozens of artists over the last four years at The Dance Complex.
