Barking Legs Theater & Contrapasso will present Tilt-A-Whirl, a collaborative improvisational performance at Contrapasso, 1800 Rossville Ave., on Saturday, Aug. 2, at 8 p.m. Tickets are $10.
Dancers and musicians will spin and swing abruptly from one moment to another. In this performance, dancers and musicians model the festive Tilt-A-Whirl system, presenting an array of new experiences that defies logic.
This performance will bring together dancers of different generations and disciplines to bounce off of and whirl through walls of improvisational music in what promises to be an electric and eclectic fusion of energy, officials said.
This is the first in a series of collaborations planned between Barking Legs Theater and Contrapasso.
The musicians, who are currently touring between Philadelphia and other parts east are looking forward to playing an evening of acoustic violin/guitar poetically charged, and on the edge of instrumental excursions and improvised musical inventions, officials said.
The dancers will be Ann Law, Sycamore Toffel, Katie Kasch, Saifan Shmerer, Cayce Gearrin, and Camille Loftin. The musicians will be LaDonna Smith and Misha Feigin.
