Bryan’s back at Danceclub for another day of Master Classes!
Choose from three different classes or take all three:

3-4:30 GROOVEMENT 101
Dancers will learn basic Hip Hop as well as show some of their own best dance moves while grooving to their favorite music. This class is a basic introduction to hip hop movement and grooves.

4:30-6 HIP HOP CHOREO LEVEL 1
Classes will encourage students to step outside the box by bringing their own individual style and personality to the movements. Choreography is emphasized more so in this class, while bringing in today’s most current swag moves.

6-7:30 JAZZ-HIP HOP CHOREO
This class presents a more fierce, yet sensual movement to a diva-like dance style. It takes elements from Hip Hop, Jazz & Waaking. This is where you can be your own star on stage.

$20 per class. Reserve your spot here: https://clients.mindbodyonline.com/classic/ws?studioid=330572&stype=-104&sView=day&sLoc=0

This drama, written and directed by local veterinarian Mark Thompson, will make its World Premiere at the theatre. Two veterinarians are finishing their day and have sent their staff home in advance of an approaching blizzard. With a knock at the door, they are presented with three men, one of which is unconscious and bleeding. What follows is a thriller with two vets, some bank robbers, a man with a gunshot wound and the worst storm they have ever seen. What could go wrong as the bank robbers make the vets perform surgery at gunpoint?

This year’s theme is “Wild, Wild Asheville.” So think wild west, wild animals, wild women or just plain getting wild! As always, the theme is just a helpful little nudge. You can feel free to incorporate it into your costume or krewe, or simply let your imagination run “wild” and show off your creativity in any way you see fit.

Members March!
While anyone is welcome to march in the parade, at least one representative of each krewe MUST be a member of Asheville Mardi Gras. Keep in mind that the only way the parade survives is through membership support, so if more than one person joins up — we would certainly appreciate it! To become a member, CLICK HERE. And, speaking of krewes …

Join a Krewe!
You’re welcome to march solo, or with a group of your friends as part of a krewe. You may even be able to join one of our existing krewes! All we ask is that you dress up, show up and bring some goodies like candy or beads to hand out to the parade attendees.

Parade Route
Parade participants will line up along Federal Alley from between 1 PM and 2 PM on March 3. The parade will then step off at its traditional time of 3:05 PM and head east on Hilliard Ave before turning south on Coxe Ave. The parade will then continue east on Banks Ave, turn briefly south on Church St., then west on Buxton Ave. and back to Federal Alley to finish up.

Details
Full parade details and krewe information can be seen on our website: https://www.ashevillemardigras.org/parade-and-queens-ball

Folk icon John Gorka, known for his warm baritone, intricate guitar playing and wry observations of everyday day, is touring for True In Time, his 15th studio album. Poignant and thoughtful, the songs span a lyrical spectrum from the spirit lives of dogs, to the people of the Taos Pueblo, to the idea that all songs manifest in time.

The Theatre of the Absurd (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theatre_of_the_Absurd) “is a post–World War II designation for particular plays of absurdist fiction written by a number of primarily European playwrights in the late 1950s, as well as one for the style of theatre which has evolved from their work. Their work focused largely on the idea of existentialism and expressed what happens when human existence has no meaning or purpose and therefore all communication breaks down. Logical construction and argument gives way to irrational and illogical speech and to its ultimate conclusion, silence.”
TheatreUNCA will present two prime examples of The Theatre of the Absurd:
“The Room”, Harold Pinter’s first play, written and first produced in 1957 and “The Bald Soprano”, an absurdist comedy by Eugene Ionesco, translation by Tina Howe.
Performances Feb. 28th, March 1st and 2nd at 7:30pm and March 3rd at 2pm. Ticket prices do not include taxes and fees.
“The Room” is presented by special arrangement with Dramatists Play Service Inc., New York
“The Bald Soprano (trans. Howe)” is presented by special arrangement with SAMUEL FRENCH, INC.

Old School New Orleans R&B Swing to shake your hips to!!! Ashevillains Parrish Ellis, Jim Aaron, Zack Page, & Evan Martin will have you up and movin’! As always, there is no cover charge
