Upcoming showcases for The Bang Group
Soaking WET is a series of choreographic evenings curated by David Parker, whose company, David Parker and The Bang Group has been the first and only resident-dance company of the West End Theater since January 2003. Parker is committed to bringing together artists of varied backgrounds and levels of experience in order to break down aesthetic barriers and achieve mutual inspiration. The artists are united by their commitment to movement and their understanding that vigorous experimentation can take many forms. Soaking WET has received generous support from The Netherland-America Foundation, The Jerome Robbins Foundation, Derek Bernstein and several private donors.
The next Soaking WET series will be presented November 5-8 and will feature Johanna Hegenscheidt (Thursday-Saturday @ 7:00, Sunday @ 3:00) and Lorraine Chapman (Thursday-Sunday @ 8:30, Sunday @ 5:00).
Tickets: $15/general, $10/artists.
