The ΟγΈΫΑωΊΟ²ΚΙϊΠ€ΊΕΒλ amphitheater, which was recently transformed for live performances of the play βEurydice,β is hosting a performing arts series for two Saturdays.
The Solo Darity series, presented by Art Street, Inc., includes poetry, music, dance and theatre performances onMay 15 and May 22. Showtime is 8 p.m. on both dates.
Art Street Inc. is a multi-discipline arts center engaging with communities through events, artist residencies, performances, exhibitions, and workshops.
COVID-19 restrictions, particularly for indoor events, highlighted the need for outdoor performance venues, event organizers said.
βThe idea came from the need for a venue to support the arts and to activate the amphitheater,β ΟγΈΫΑωΊΟ²ΚΙϊΠ€ΊΕΒλ professor of design Kevin Griffith said. βΟγΈΫΑωΊΟ²ΚΙϊΠ€ΊΕΒλ's involvement is forming relationships with the community and local artists while activating and renovating the theater.β
A portion of the proceeds from tickets sales will be used for continued improvements to the amphitheater, Griffith said.
Saturdayβs show will feature storyteller and musician Daiquiri Rene Jonesβ Radiosynthesis. The performance will include βwaves of stories and poetry,β accompanied by live music and physical theatre.
On May 22, the Reese Johanson Collective will present the debut of their full-length solo piece, βExtraordinarily Ordinary,β accompanied by world-renowned guitarpist Phil deGruy.
