About this Event
5 Paths To Uptown Stories: Live the experience!! … Reframe your thinking with this dance-theatrical piece presented on a stage that emulates a maze/cage. Audience members will be seated in a way that is aligned with the “cage’s” shape, creating an illusion of being inside of this clear plastic “maze/cage”. Choreographer and artistic director Elliott Ortiz sets the terms in this “urban playground” of dance, music and monologue, with a diverse cast of dancers: Yvanhova Figueroa, Luca Villa, Sara Grassi, Alessia Seglee, drag-queen/performer “Chicky Gorgina” and with jazz singer Ellen O’Brien. Featuring music by Ala Este, Ezequiel Amoroso, Brashell Santos, Daniel Lugo & Chorus, Mariela Villasmil, and others. Tech Director John McGee, MUA/Hair by Percy Van Ooordt, set by Alejandro Aquinot & Jonny Rueda.
Chat and toast with the artists: A post-performance event is intended to provide an opportunity for interested audience members to engage with the artists in a conversation. This post-show conversation will be facilitated by performer & choreographer Lainie Munro: Oct 29 (in English) and actor and singer Marcelo Rodriguez on Oct 30 (in Spanish). 35 minutes chat; refreshments will be served.
