DANCE

Liquid Measure, a new dance work by Baltimore Dance Project choreographer Carol Hess, one of "the most exciting choreographers in Baltimore." Dancers Rebecca Dyson and Franki Trout perform up close with unexpected, precise and provocative movement derived from early systems that used parts of the body as measuring instruments.

Rd E3 is a movement installation influenced by the texture and architecture of AREA 405. Lauren Withhart, along with Betty Skeen, use improvisation and perspective to shift the space.

In negotiations with space, time, and manners, dancers attempt to find means of expression and connection with each other in Quad Ruled, by Renée Brozic Barger. The navigation of formal interaction is revealed before the audience in this site-specific work of formulas, congruence and variation. Quad Ruled is danced by the choreographer and Nicole McClam, Graham Pitts, Stephanie Yezek. Dance performed on Friday night only.

This historic structure, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, was modeled after the Palazzo Vecchio in Florence, Italy. The Bromo Seltzer Arts Tower was completed in 1911 and was the tallest building in Baltimore at the time. It has been a Baltimore landmark ever since. The tower was built by Captain Isaac Emerson, the inventor of the headache remedy Bromo Seltzer. The most interesting feature is the still-functioning tower clock, the face of which displays the word Bromo Seltzer instead of numbers. Each of the clocks’ faces measure 24 feet in diameter, one foot larger than the clock faces on London’s Big Ben. The famous clock atop the tower holds its own separate historic registration.
