SUMMARY:ASU Spring Dance Fest (Tempe)
DESCRIPTION:Spring Dance Fest is an annual juried performance featuring the most innovative work of the Arizona State University dance season\, bringing together a dynamic collection of new works created within the School of Music\, Dance and Theatre. \n\nSpring Dance Fest\nWhen: 7:30 p.m. April 24–25; 2 p.m. April 26\nWhere: Galvin Playhouse Theatre\, ASU Tempe campus \nTicket information can be found here. \n\nThis 2025–26 season\, the pieces selected by the program committee reflect a wide range of choreographic voices\, drawing from different movement traditions\, creative processes and artistic perspectives. \n“The program moves through a wide range of choreographic landscapes\, from quietly unfolding duets to large-scale ensemble works\,” said Mitchell Castro\, dance graduate student and associate artistic director of dance this year. “Each piece offers a distinct perspective on movement\, inviting audiences into worlds shaped by curiosity\, collaboration and the evolving voices of ASU dance artists.” \nAudiences will experience works by guest artists Akosua Akoto and Joan Rodriguez; faculty choreographer MK Ford; and ASU student choreographers Ashley Koclanis\, Astrid Camacho\, Diana Toledo\, j. bouey and Yi Peng. \n“The works are brought to life by a large ensemble of ASU dancers\, each piece offering a distinct choreographic voice and approach to movement\,” said Mitchell. \nRodriguez said he was thrilled to work with ASU students. A Cuban-born dancer\, choreographer and educator known for his dynamic versatility and signature blend of Afro-Latin\, contemporary and multimedia movement\, Rodriguez is currently in his fourth season with BODYTRAFFIC in Los Angeles. \n“I think that some of the smartest artists that I have encountered are trained and based here\,” said Rodriguez. “My best advice is to really take in as much as you can of your teachers\, the amazing faculty that you have here\, and how much this city has to offer in regards to growing as a wholesome\, holistic artist — not just as a dancer.” \nHis work is a tribute to where he is now\, to his home country of Cuba and to what it feels like to be home. He said he wanted to create a work that “feels like you are being pulled back to the best memories you ever had.” \nAkoto has worked as a performer\, choreographer\, cultural consultant and movement coach for recording artists\, films\, major award shows\, dance tours and music videos. Her work features both traditional and contemporary West African dance styles. \nAkoto’s choreography for Spring Dance Fest\, “Farafina Muso\,” will be presented in three parts: “Maraka” comes from the Soninke people in the Kayes region of Mali and is performed to welcome the Marakafoli people when they arrive for social festivities like weddings. The dance is designed to welcome the audience to the piece. “Koredjuga” is from the Bamana people of Guinea and Mali\, who are known for their comedic wisdom — they perform for the public in a mime-like or gesture fashion as they give life lessons. The last track is a fusion of dances from Guinea and Mali that honors African women\, mothers and young girls. The featured dances and techniques are also taken from several other traditional rhythms including Yokui\, Guinea Fare\, Mane\, Kassa\, Bao\, Yankadi and Yamama. \n“Throttle\,” by Clinical Assistant Professor MK Ford\, features a live performance created with ASU students. There will also be a lobby installation highlighting excerpts of a screendance titled “State of Emergency/State of Emergence\,” created in collaboration with Glendale Community College students. \nFor choreographers Koclanis and bouey as well as performer Jimena Perez-Flores\, this will be their last performance at ASU. \nThe five pieces created by undergraduate and graduate students include: “Half Life” by Yi Peng and Grace Crain; “HYSTERIA” by Ashley Koclanis; “SATURN: Chapter One” by j. bouey; “Otro Dia” by Astrid Camacho; and “Doom Bags: A Love Letter to the ADHD Weirdo” by Diana Toledo\, \nAudiences can purchase tickets to attend Spring Dance Fest through the Herberger Institute Box Office. \nhttps://news.asu.edu/b/20260414-202526-asu-spring-dance-fest-brings-innovative-dance-works-stage?

SUMMARY:Grey Box Collective's A Decade In The Grey (Phoenix)
DESCRIPTION:A Decade In The Grey\nApril 26th | 7pm | Third Street Theater\, Phoenix Center for the Arts Documentary Film Premiere + Encore Performance + Coloring Book Release \nThis is the moment we’ve been building toward\, a celebration of ten years spent playing in the messy grey areas of life. Join us for the premiere of our documentary film\, a special encore performance of Finger Painting [for grown-ups]\, and the release of our fourth coloring book! \nYou won’t want to miss it. \nEvent Overview: Join Grey Box Collective at Third Street Theater in Phoenix Center for the Arts on April 26th to celebrate all ten seasons! For A Decade in the Grey\, we’ve got the premiere of our documentary film\, an encore performance\, and a new coloring book release. \n6:30p Doors Open 6:45p Pre-show 7:00p Encore Performance of Finger Painting [for grown-ups] Intermission 8:00p Documentary Film Screening 8:45p Q&A with Performers\, Filmmakers & Creatives of GBC Event concludes around 9:15pm \nWhat Audiences Are Saying: “It was a true pleasure to witness Finger Painting [for grown-ups] tonight. It was engaging\, thoughtful\, thought-provoking\, honest\, personal\, funny\, relatable\, beautifully performed\, and wonderfully constructed.” \n“The way Finger Painting [for grown-ups] reflected the collective social anxiety I already feel\, offered an antidote for fear and stress through joy and group play. I appreciated the interactive moments\, care\, and thoughtfulness of the performers and creative team. It was engaging and cathartic.” \n“Grey Box Collective offers a space to hold and reflect our very human experiences\, together\, with care and intention.” \nWhat to expect: Honestly – and we recognize this probably isn’t super helpful – expect the unexpected. As with any Grey Box show\, it’s about the journey\, not the destination. Be as present as possible and enjoy the semi-organized\, chaotic ride. If you’re seated on stage\, you’ll likely be asked to hold things (budgets are tight\, so we appreciate the extra hands) and read things aloud with others (you can always say no or just pretend). No matter where you sit\, performers will talk to you. Don’t be alarmed; they’re just highly caffeinated extroverts seeking human connection. We also recommend warming up your singing voice and brushing up on your Pokémon knowledge to fully engage with the show. \nA lot more detail available at https://www.greyboxcollective.com/event42626 \n\n\n link in bio or greyboxcollective.com

SUMMARY:Convergence Ballet's The Space Before: An Evening of Metamorphosis (Phoenix)
DESCRIPTION:The Space Before\nApril 26th | 6:00pm \n\n\n\nAn evening of metamorphosis with Convergence Ballet. \nJoin us for an evening that reveals where Convergence Ballet is headed. Playful\, lyrical\, and quietly bold\, the program traces the shift from what was to what’s possible. New creations by Artistic Director Ian Parsons slip between surreal dreamscapes\, intimate reflection\, and the pulse of emerging identity\, weaving together a night that celebrates evolution in all its forms. \nConvergence Ballet presents a bold and deeply personal mixed repertory program marking Artistic Director Ian Parsons’ first full choreographic offering to Phoenix audiences. The evening features Peggy Baker’s acclaimed 5 Views of the Temple Garden alongside Parsons’ own works — including two world premieres. \nFrom dark\, driving neoclassical movement to an intimate lyrical meditation on longing\, the program culminates in With a Little Help from the Static\, where The Beatles collide with baroque ballet in a theatrical and joyful celebration of dance. Intimate\, inventive\, and emotionally resonant\, this is Convergence Ballet at a turning point. \nApril 26 at 6:00 PM\nDorrance Theatre\nAddress: 2835 E. Washington St Phoenix\, AZ 85034\n(Located inside Ballet Arizona)
