Along with Idosyncrazy Productions' Shannon Murphy's new piece Blast vs. Blaze (see our first post), April 16th's Bodies of Text Performance will also feature ...


Idiosyncrazy director Jumatatu Poe’s piece, A Big Enough Grief, inspired by Lesley Mitchell's abstraction of Astor Piazzolla's song, Balada para un Loco, in her book of the same title.

Mitchell’s book has caused Jumatatu to reflect on his experiences with grief and the situations that create it. Piazzolla's lyrics illustrate a man's obsessive love for a woman who is out of his reach. A Big Enough Grief examines the longing for those that are no longer within our reach and will also include text by James Ijames and new sound and music by Margel Overton.


Along with Idiosyncrazy's works ...
Rain Ross Dance, in collaboration with book artist Mimi
Shapiro, will premiere another duet, The Flight To Varennes. This choreographic work explores an unforeseen fantasy that could never be a reality, asking the question: does love fall into categories? Ross and dancer Lauren Kelly will perform this exciting and sensuous duet, with an original composition by Dan Roeder.
