“Fact or Fiction?” Work-In-Progress Showing by Trainor Dance
February 7 @ 6:00 pm - 7:30 pm
Free
“Fact or Fiction” is a collaborative creation by the artists of Trainor Dance in which the performers tell stories through language and movement, and the audience votes on the veracity of each. The work is motion and emotion; a joyous and irreverent romp motivated by concern for truth in an age of alternative facts. Please join us for our work-in-progress showing and share your stories at info@trainordance.org!
“Trainor Dance is in residence at Bethany Arts Community from Feb 2nd – Feb 8th, 2023. During their time at BAC, Trainor Dance will be developing “Fact or Fiction” and sharing this work-in-progress with the public as the community program component of their residency.
