More than 90 Miles from Home
by Colette Krogol

More than 90 Miles from home explores Colette Krogol’s Cuban-American identity and the oral stories told to her throughout her life by her maternal Cuban family. Through movement, poetry and film, Colette attempts to piece together reality and dream by coming to terms with the truth that the Cuba she knows from her families stories exists vividly but solely in her mind. She can deeply hear, taste, feel, smell, and be with her Cuba but only for as long as each story goes. This work weaves together personal moments of history, loss, mystery, anger, joy and family while reorienting the viewer’s cinematic experience by encouraging them to investigate their surroundings and take on new perspectives.

“To me it isn’t just 90 miles when you can never go back home.” – Mom

Snake Telegram
by Sarah Beth Oppenheim

Oppenheim performs a soft and vicious solo evening which unravels from maneuvered folds into an operetta of savage and coarse dimensions. It is both mystery and surprise that arcs from coil to cry as its plucked and tarnished movements dance to cool, cool jazz.

Sunday, October 4, 2015 at 3:00pm

Location: Greenbelt Community Center Gymnasium 15 Crescent Rd.

Journey With Alice to Wonderland where you will enter a “Caucus Race”, laugh at the antics of TweedleDee and TweedleDum, attend the zany Mad Hatter’s Tea Party, paint the roses red, play croquet with the Queen of Hearts and her jabberwocky raven, meet the mysterious Cheshire Cat, and rescue the Mad Hatter from the Red Queen when he goes on trial for stealing her tarts. Lewis Carroll’s “classic” tale is transformed as BTM meshes dance, theater, and music together to bring all of these whimsical characters to life through the power of dance.

Sunday, October 4. All-ages DIY Halloween Costume Clinic, 1-4pm: bring your ideas and reference images, and get started on a great costume!

Facilitated by professional designer and Artist in Residence Celestine Ranney-Howes. Cardboard and other basic supplies available. See the current Art Gallery exhibit featuring costumes and sculpture by artist Hoesy Corona. Plus a studio open house and sale and Greenbelt Museum programs.
