Brief Shorts
description: A program of spoken and danced plays and poems by Eugene Ionesco, Ade Ademola, Rick Foster, Adam Kraar and Curtis Zahn. These innovative and entertaining works will be seamlessly knit together by combining clear and dramatic articulation of the texts with exciting choreographed dance and movement. The overall effect of the one hour presentation will be akin to a contemporary vaudeville show. Commissioned music by James Barry. Costumed by Yuliya Bogdanova. Directed and choreographed by Shela Xoregos.
