Dances On A Truck

Saturday, April 16, 2pm

Location: The Art Truck at Bicentennial Garden

1105 Hobbs Road, Greensboro

"Dances on a Truck" is part of a larger series featuring a site-adaptive solo conceived and directed by Caitlin Dutton-Reaver and collaboratively constructed with Joshua Dutton-Reaver and Annie Young. It features improvised performance collaborations with Greensboro-based double bassist Steven Landis and percussionist Erik Schmidt. In collaboration with the UNCG Art Truck, "Dances on a Truck" originally featured performances by Dutton-Reaver and Landis utilizing the truck as stage and frame. These performances were held beside the Weatherspoon Art Museum and off Elm Street in downtown Greensboro. Performances this spring will feature Annie Young and Erik Schmidt for a fresh perspective on the improvisational nature of artistic conversation between dance, music, and site. The mobile theater of the UNCG Art Truck is showcased as a hybrid offering of formal performance structure blended into the Greensboro community. Its minimal mise en scene reflects a sense of daily life, heightened into artistic performative conversation. Every performance is a new conversation of blended elements.
