Pieces of Life
Dina Denis Dance / Dance Into Light, Inc.


Featuring three premiere performances, Pieces of Life is a collaborative effort that defies classification. Dina Denis Dance employs evocative music, film, and inciting choreography pieces to weave together relatable stories of human life.
 
As part of the company’s artist-to-youth mentor program, “Lonely Crowds” (Premiere) features young dancers from Nadia’s Performing Arts Center. “Love, to The Same Old Tune” (Premiere) takes the storytelling of classical blues music and applies it to dance. Using dance, music, and film, Elementary Balance (Premiere) explores the influences of human intention during ceremony and ritual over natural forces endeavoring for balance.

Rounding out the program is the urban dance selection “Please Stand Clear of the Closing Doors.” Along with the harsh realties of conformance expressed in “Trickle Down, Up, and Through My Spine”.

ANDREW CLEMENTS' FRINDLE
Produced by The Griffin Theatre Company

Nicholas Allen has plenty of ideas. Who can forget the time he turned his third-grade classroom into a tropical island, or the times he fooled his teacher by chirping like a blackbird? But now Nick's in fifth grade, and it looks like his days as a troublemaker are over.

Everyone knows that Mrs. Granger, the language arts teacher, has X-ray vision, and nobody gets away with anything in her classroom. To make matters worse, she's also a fanatic about the dictionary, which is hopelessly boring to Nick. But when Nick learns an interesting tidbit about words and where they come from, it inspires his greatest plan yet: to invent a new word. From now on, a pen is no longer a pen -- it's a Frindle.

“Frindle is …about discovering the true nature of words, language, thought, community, learning. It’s also about great teaching and great teachers, and about the life that surges through corridors and classrooms every school day.” - Andrew Clements
