PENNIES FOR BREAKFAST
February 10, at Arts Night Out
The Workroom
Pennies for Breakfast is a band made up of classical musicians, songwriters and actors. The group consists of Luca Kevorkian and Marta Djorovic on the violins, Jackson Pelz on guitar, and Isabelle Bushue on vocals. The quartet develops their music through improvisations, often creating form in front of an audience. While experimenting in sound driven storytelling, the Pennies ask questions regarding the relationship between music, performance, and what it means to compose.
INDETERMINATE DANCING:
A New Year’s Master ClassWith Sarah Lass
January 7
Move into the New Year with sensitivity and purpose during this intermediate-advanced level contemporary technique master class. Structured as a series of movement accumulations, class will progress from the floor to standing, and culminate in nuanced, full-bodied phrase work.
SARAH LASS is a Colorado-raised, Massachusetts-based dancer, choreographer, writer, and teacher. Across modes of creative output, her work explores intersections between embodiment, perception, place, and design, and her research unfolds through a transdisciplinary process of dancemaking and creative writing. Her choreography has been presented and supported by residencies at Basin Arts Center (Lafayette, LA), the School for Contemporary Dance and Thought (Northampton, MA), 10forward (Greenfield, MA), and Triskelion Arts (NY, NY).
