BOULDER, Colo. (February 5, 2007)— Naropa University’s MFA in Contemporary Performance showcases 17 original works created by graduating students. Performances will take place February through May 2007. Locations vary – see below.
Performances include “Chaos on the Camino Real: An Experiment,” which explores Tennessee Williams’ “Camino Real” between the lines of the text, “This Thing of Darkness: the Origin of Geometry,” where three individuals explore the Dharma of Shakespeare’s “The Tempest,” and “Whole, some” & “Amuse-bouche,” which centers around a dance-based rant and a “sweet morsel of song from an easy-bake oven.”
All shows are $7 for the general public, free to all Naropa staff and faculty, students with ID, and seniors. For more information or to purchase tickets, contact the Naropa box office at 303-245-4798.
