JoAnn Selisker in "Off Leash"
Tickets: $15
A pastiche of literary shorts, theater, dance and achingly funny satire, Selisker is a one of a kind performer! Who's a good girl in a world where model behavior is to sit still while being fondled by strangers? Drawn from animal care handbooks and first-hand experiences, JoAnn Selisker's hilarious and dark-hued humor revels in the mutual trust, love and affection that occurs as we attempt to walk and talk with the animals. http://www.joannselisker.com

Rosanna Gamson/ World Wide in "Ravish"
An evening-length dance theater piece that re-imagines the creative houthouse in which the Bronte sisters wrote their brand of intensely romantic fiction. Presenting adolescene as an altered state, "Ravish" examines the forces that resulted in works such as Wuthering Heights and Jane Eyre, taking as its jumping off point the Bronte's legendarily cloistered life.
"an erotic fever dream that merges dance, theater, music and literature." -The Wall Street Journal
