Upper West Side**, New York, NY 10025
Doors open at 7:30 pm
DanceAction Garden Series is a performance event that brings together artists from diverse disciplines (Dance, Music, Theater, & more!) to showcase short works rooted in improvisation and spontaneous composition practices. This event will showcase short performance pieces on Friday evenings in July, August, and September at its new garden performance venue in the Upper West Side of Manhattan. Artist Carmen Caceres and her husband open their home for an evening of improvisation, performing arts, and summer celebration!
The evening starts at 8 pm with live performances by Carmen Caceres and guest artists in dance, improv comedy, and poetry/theater, and features a Tango Lab Workshop after the performances. During the Dance Improvisation Lab segment, we will explore and mix principles of Contemporary Dance with a twist of Argentine Tango, led by DanceAction Artistic Director Carmen Caceres and Argentine Tango and Contemporary Dance Teacher and Choreographer Silvana Brizuela Weigel. We will conclude this event with a dance party!
