Miro Dance Theatre
Show Times:6:00pm and 7:30pm
Cost:Free with Museum Admission
Location:Philadelphia Museum of Art, Great Stair Hall
Event Description:Self-Portrait is a 30-minute solo commissioned by the Philadelphia Museum of Art to be premiered during the upcoming Frida Kahlo exhibition. Combining live animation, video, still imagery, and technically demanding dance, the work will be a living performance sculpture that museum attendees view from three sides. Miller and Rothlein join their choreographic and visual experience, using imagery and themes inspired by Kahlo's paintings to create a performance experience resonating from a single dancing body that is both restrained and boundless. Inspired greatly by Kahlo's diary, the human body becomes a canvas for self-expression by becoming a projection surface that will catch the vivid, jewel-toned colors being hand-painted onto the performer via projection. Kahlo's struggles with illness and her penchant forself-expression will figure prominently in the work's choreographic vocabulary and emotional exploration. Self-Portrait seeks to provide a new entry point for understanding the work of this monumental artist, while functioning as a universal testament to liberation through confinement and pain.

Pilobolus Dance Theatre
Dance Celebration presented by Dance Affiliates & Penn Presents
Annenberg Center, 3680 Walnut Street, Philadelphia
• Thursday, May 15, 2008 @ 7:30 PM

• Saturday, May 17, 2008 @ 2:00 PM
• Saturday, May 17, 2008 @ 8:00 PM
Pilobolus is all about having fun as we saw in the 2007 Academy Awards telecast, the Oprah show, and the 2002 Olympic Games. Theatrical innovation at its best, Pilobolus creates work with the imaginative use of costumes and props, precarious aerial work, and message and meaning all wrapped up in an accessible story. The program features its first collaborative creation, Pilobolus, conceived as a Dartmouth College dance composition project in 1971. This troupe of superhuman artist/athletes has since turned heads and eyes with its novel approach to weight- sharing, eye-catching gymnastics and over-the-top group partnerings. Pilobolus is serious fun!

May 25 at 3pm and 7pm
Cost: $20 | $3 off with DancePass

Location: Shubin Theatre
407 Bainbridge Street
Philadelphia, PA 19147

Event Description:
Founded by Bolivian-born Elba Hevia y Vaca in 2000, Pasión y Arte quickly achieved a reputation for staging groundbreaking contemporary feminist flamenco dances that are simultaneously deeply steeped in the teachings of the southern Spanish masters and Hevia y Vaca’s personal experiences as a woman,
Latina, Boliviana, and American. She is not alone. Other contemporary choreographers create experimental work influenced by the homegrown culture of Latin America and the US, which is why Hevia y Vaca has decided to initiate a special series of three annual tablao performances featuring Flamenco de Las Americas. The performances have two main goals: to promote the work of high-level flamenco masters who are not from Spain and to educate the Philadelphia public about tablao.

Tickets are available at the door, by phone at 267-235-5685, or through www.brownpapertickets.com/event/33796.
