Ramon de los Reyes Spanish Dance Theatre: Will present a lecture demonstration combining storytelling with rhythmic dances. John Hancock Hall, 180 Berkeley Street, 10am...
...Heads have had their odd successes since their first album was released in 1977. Any prosperity this band enjoyed would have to be odd, since the music it makes, fractured and rhythmic and inventive, touches amusingly on endless varieties of weirdness. Starting out, the nucleus of the band formed in Providence in 1974, when Tina Weymouth and Chris Frantz, students at the Rhode Island School of Design, fell in with David Byrne, occasional student and otherworldly wit. Moving a couple of hundred miles south, and joining up with Keyboard Player Jerry Harrison, they became the premier house band...

...North with music by Bob Downes. The dozen-man ensemble rolled, leaped, and cart wheeled across a bare stage in various pairs and groups. This comical celebration of machodom neatly balanced the somber 'Creole Giselle,' reminding us of the perversely ambiguous history of the American south. The Brazilian music--rhythmic drums, cymbals and xylophones and the set's rapidly changing colors provided a lively background for the jazzy, athletic dance...
