FEATURING
Out Of the Ordinary 2008 ● a festival of art with a point-of-view
October 31 – November 23
Reservations: 505-344-4542
The third annual Out Of the Ordinary is a festival that is fun, even joyous, yet provocative and challenging. OOO highlights work of excellence by artists with and without disabilities from throughout the U.S. and the world in performances that are out of the ordinary!
Ordinary is what this festival is NOT… not the artists, not the work, not the venues, not the audiences. OOO 08 begins at North Fourth Art Center on Halloween, Friday, October 31, at 6pm with an opening reception for Austrian photographer Ulrich Eigner, followed at 8pm by Mayday Danse of Montreal, and continues every weekend through November 23 with performances by artists offering completely new points of view on a variety of cultural and social issues. Artists include a company of dancers from New York City performing with Bill T. Jones dancer-turned-choreographer Heidi Latsky; silk aerialists Jennifer Bricker and Nate Crawford from Florida; and Rha Goddess, an artist, writer, poet and social activist from New York City. Finnish artists of Tero Saarinen Company, one of Europe’s most acclaimed contemporary dance companies, perform at south Broadway Cultural Center, on Saturday, November 1, 8pm. (One night only!) And for three Sundays, November 9, 16 & 23, North Fourth Art Center hosts OOO In Context, a mini festival of food, film & discussion—including disTHIS, a film series curated by artist and disability activist Lawrence Carter-Long.
Admission for Mayday Danse, Heidi Latsky performances and Rha Goddess: $15 general; $10 seniors/students.
Admission for Tero Saarinen: $20 general; $12 seniors/ students.
Admission for OOO In Context: $5 general
