A closet, a cabinet and a hallway are just some of the βstagesβ University of Arizona Dance will use for its upcoming βSide Showβ performance.
The multiple sites-specific concert, performed as a series of vignettes in and around the School of Dance, was conceived by faculty member Sam Watson, who has spent a year plotting the show.
More than 60 dancers will weave throughout the building, telling stories through eight vignettes.
Dancer-guides will lead the audience from one performance to the next.
This is an elaborate production, making use of much of the expertise available to the school: atmospheric lighting comes from Ryan Moore, the schoolβs senior technical director, Daniel Kersh has created the lighting and scenic artist Taryn Wintersteen created set pieces.
Of course, this means the audience wonβt be settling down in their seats: wear comfortable shoes as youβll be moving from one set to the next and some vignettes will be standing-only.
Performances are 6 p.m. Friday, March 29; and at 1:30, 4:30 and 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, March 30. βSide Showβ begins in the lobby of the Stevie Eller Dance Theatre, 1737 E. University Blvd. on the UA campus. Tickets are $15, $10 for students.
