Leon Redbone: Unique Acoustic Showman in Concert
- Full Price:
- $75.00
- Our Price:
- $35.00
This one-of-a-kind musician, who has amassed a huge cult following over three decades of performing and recording, combines an encyclopedic knowledge of jazz, blues, and Tin Pan Alley standards with virtuoso guitar playing, humor, and consummate showmanship. Over the course of a 30 year career, Leon Redbone has continued his love affair with tunes from the turn-of-the-century, flapper-era radio ditties, Depression-spawned ragtime and World War II folk-jazz. With his now iconic white fedora, jacket and sunglasses, this master of the acoustic guitar has appeared on Saturday Night Live and in the film Elf, and recorded the famous theme song for TV's Mr. Belvedere. He's even had a ballet, Mr. XYZ, built around his songs. Learn More

Written on Apr 16 2012If you're not a big fan of dance, like me, then you may not necessarily understand it. It's slightly abstract, but I guess that can be said about all dance. My girlfriend may have enjoyed it. I'm not sure.

Description
THROB is a conceptual yet very physical work by Jody Oberfelder Dance Projects inspired by the biological workings of the heart. Informed by conversations with cardiologist Dr. Holly Andersen, Oberfelder tackles and represents the science of — as well as the stories spawned by — our most fundamental organ. Original music by composer Andy Akiho will be played live, augmented with auditory tracking of the heart rates produced by sweaty, passionate dancers. (Sound design by Weston Minissali). Oberfelder intrudes upon the intimate physicality of the dancers by examining their heart fluctuations produced by physical exertions and emotional confluence.
Also in the program is Re: Dress, a solo performed by Jody Oberfelder, and the premiere of Sung Heroes, a quartet which places each dancer in a cinematic lens, working through his or her own — and others' — emotional narratives to connect to the superhero within. Music is by The Section Quartet. Collaborators for the evening include lighting designer Kathy Kaufmann, costumes by Katrin Schnabl, and dancers Lonnie Poupard, ChristinaNoel Reaves, Jake Szczypek, and Jessica Weiss.
