Terpsicorps is proud to present their latest production entitled "The Recession Blues & other works," a collaboration with Asheville's own Firecracker Jazz Band.
The headlining piece is a thoughtful and entertaining look at some of the most resonant themes of the current recession. Set to Firecracker Jazz Band's upbeat show stopping music, it calls to mind the speak easies and musicals of the Great Depression.
Known for creating innovative new works with musicians and artists, Terpsicorps is utilizing that same spirit of collaboration by creating additional partnerships with Asheville Buncombe Community Christian Ministry, MANNA FoodBank, Mountain Housing Opportunities and Green Opportunities.
Anyone who donates $45 or more to one of these charities between April 13 and May 29 will receive a buy one get one free ticket voucher to the show. It is Terpsicorps' hope that patrons will share these tickets with friends and neighbors who may not otherwise be able to afford to attend the performances.
***The weekend of shows is also a food drive for Asheville Buncombe Community Christian Ministry, so don't forget to bring along a bag of canned goods to contribute to the cause.
Also included on the program are some Terpsicorps favorites including...
"Satto" - Choreographed by Salvatore Aiello, this pas de deux has wowed audiences across the country with its fluid, athletic, awe-inspiring beauty.
"Le Suil Go..." - One of artistic director Heather Maloy's most acclaimed works, Le Suil Go… is set to traditional Celtic tunes and is a crowd pleasing non-stop tour de force for its six dancers.
