News Get a move on with Louise Runyon & Co. this weekend
Posted by Debbie Michaud @DebsMichaud on Fri, Nov 21, 2008 at 9:57 PM
Local all-around arts maven Louise Runyon and former CL dance and lit critic Tom Bell present their new contact improvisation piece "Chairs: Unseated" this weekend during Language/Listening. The duet forms the centerpiece of the evening's four dance performances and involves two individuals vying for a single chair, the pair floating back and forth to illustrate the give and take of sharing. Post performance, Bell and Runyon will lecture on and demonstrate contact improvisation methods.
Among the show's other bits and bobs, local poet, artist and activist Alice Lovelace will perform from forever, her recently published book of poetry informed by her relationship with her daughter and the loss of her husband. Runyon will also take the stage as a poet to read from her latest work LANDSCAPE/Fear & Love.
But wait ... there's more! Women's drumming group ConunDrums opens and closes the evening with rhythmic West African, well, drumming. A smorgasboard of treats from the Decatur Organic Farmers Market tops everything off.
Language/Listening. $10. Fri.-Sat., Nov. 21-22, 8 p.m. Beacon Hill Arts Center Studio Theatre, 410 W. Trinity Place, Decatur. 404-728-8991. www.LouiseRunyonPerformance.com
