Members Who Went Said:
It's not quite what we were expecting (a professional dance company's adaptation of Fahrenheit 451), but what we got was really special. You can tell a lot of heart went into the show. It was put on by the Culture Shock LA Dance Troupe which is a community organization that teaches at risk kids of varying abilities and ages hip hop dance. Awesome, right? The choreography was innovative and the kid’s performances were moving. Overall we had a blast.
Abbe Barron Worth it and lots of fun amateur type performance
cr Worth it on the basis of being a "patron of the arts" or a parent of one of the performers. Otherwise, too amature for a Friday night adult date. |

More Details About This Event: A Beautiful Struggle tells the story of four individuals who dare to create in a time when artistic expression has been outlawed. It is their determination to use art as a method of overcoming individual adversity that gives rise to a revolution. A painter, a dancer, a singer and a poet--each one is fundamentally different than the other, but as they fight for the freedom of artistic creativity, their shared passion for the arts creates a unity that promotes understanding.
Inspired by the real-life experiences of local individuals whose lives have been inexorably changed by the arts, this original work uses the raw edginess of hip-hop dance, music, art and spoken word to bring their stories to the stage.
