Re: THIS SATURDAY!

The Studio 34 Studio Series April 24th @ Studio 34  (45th & Baltimore Ave in West Philly) Curated by Adams Berzins 8 PM $10 ($5 with DancePass) suggested donation  supports the performers Adams Berzins is an improvisationally based dancer and performer who has the good fortune of having worked with a veritable who's who of dance and theater professionals from Philadelphia and points international. He has been performing in Philadelphia for the past 6 years and teaching contact improvisation at The Parlor (mostly on Monday nights) for the last 3 years. You may also recognize him as the Bartender from The Latvian Society (531 N. 7th st) if you've recently attended an EgoPo, PJI, or Azuka Theater production. This month's studio series will include improv based works by a wide range of performers collected for your viewing pleasure. In no particular order: The lovely and talented Kimya Jackson will restage an improvisational dance piece that Adams fell in love with at the How Philly Moves photo shoot. (It involves Depeche Mode) The incomparable Makoto Hirano with Ben Camp and a collection of movers and shakers will provide much entertainment.  A stunning dance collaboration between best friends Hedy Weiland and Adrianna Carey-Berzins, directed by Jamie Potts. In support of their upcoming show Rodgers and Hammerstein Are Dead (Philadelphia's only improvised musical; directed by Jason Stockdale), the members of Ladies and Gentlemen will offer audiences a sampling of musical improv comedy. Showcasing cast members Joe Gribbin on piano, Kristen Schier, and Apple Milkshake along with other members of the improv troupe Ladies and Gentlemen. Liz Filios, Anna Drozdowski, Christina Gesualdi, Michele Tantoco, and Gina Hoch-Stall have agreed, relatively site unseen, to be part of an improv experiment that draws inspiration from interviews and sentiments expressed by people who have strong feelings against contact improv. This is not a contact improv piece, well maybe… For any further Information or questions, contact Adams Berzins via Twitter (@adberzins) or email: PhillyContactAdams (at) me.com His infrequent dance and food raving can also be found @ http://foodanddance.blogspot.com/
