Percussionist/rhythm dancer Keith Terry, with Crosspulse, will perform on Oct. 9. Terry, a Guggenheim Award winner, combines music, dance, theatre and performance art to create an artistry that cannot be easily labeled. As a "body musician," he uses the human body for what his website describes as "the basis for exploring, blending and bending
traditional and contemporary rhythmic, percussive and movement possibilities."
Crosspulse, founded in 1980 by Terry, is a nonprofit organization dedicated to the creation, performance and recording of rhythm-based, intercultural music and dance. General Admission: $15 |
