Catch Me Bird & Baker Tarpaga present: Sans Detour

Catch Me Bird & Baker Tarpaga present “SANS DETOUR”


This split bill features the vanguard husband and wife teams of: Catch
Me Bird, a daring duet company that fuses highly physical dance theater and
aerial choreography, and Baker and Tarpaga Dance Project, LA's
premiere African Contemporary Dance Theater company, who combine their
passion and politics with highly theatrical movement for a visceral
narrative, blending real life events with West African dance and
post-modern dance theater. Border and boundary crossing appears in
their multi-ethnic, intimate relationships, further highlighted by
their charged partnering movement and aesthetics.

VOWS IN MID-AIR
For the first time in Ford Amphitheatre history Catch Me Bird dancers
will perform aerial movement from the Ford’s proscenium towers. Catch
Me Bird
will utilize the architecture and unique setting at the FORD to create a
site-specific aerial spectacle, highlighting the performers at the apex of the
two towers. Audience participation will also be artfully woven into
the event. The performance culminates in a possible marriage proposal
and wedding ceremony on the main stage under the stars – see
www.catchmebird.com, for
the vows in midair link.


On-site, stacked parking costs $5 per vehicle for evening shows and $1
