MST Performance Group, under the direction of Sarah Weber Gallo, presents a concert of dance that reflects upon the collective experience of teenagers during the past 18 months and looks boldly ahead to a better vision of the future. Set to a driving score, the dances express all the big feelings bubbling under the surface of young adults and dare to look forward with hope.
Piano Tales is James and Jerome’s ongoing celebration of storytelling, music, and the freedom that comes from not having a plan. The audience chooses which three tales will be told (out of a possible 10) that performance and in what order, by selecting objects from a trunk. Then James and Jerome tell those tales in a different way than they ever have before, discovering a totally new show right along with the audience.
James & Jerome are a duo of musician-storytellers based in New York. They make hyper-literary, live-music story performances for theaters and other spaces. Their work has been presented by The Metropolitan Museum of Art, Lincoln Center Education, La MaMa, the Under The Radar Festival, Joe’s Pub at The Public Theater, Ars Nova, and The Kimmel Center for the Performing Arts, among others.
