If you are a fan of storytelling or dance, get ready for Three Acts, Two Dancers, One Radio Host which combines storytelling and dance for a hilarious and poignant show at Mesa Arts Center. This show is an incredible hybrid of the two art forms, developed by Ira Glass with dancers and choreographers Monica Bill Barnes and Anna Bass.
Ira Glass is the host of the well-known radio show This
American Life. Heard across the United States, on over 500 public radio
stations, Glass transmits stories that touch the hearts and minds of listeners
everywhere. Now Ira Glass is taking storytelling to the stage in this
performance show, Three Acts, Two Dancers, One Radio Host.
The show involves three acts; act one is about the job of
being a performer, act two is about falling in love and what it means to stay
in love, and act three is about how nothing lasts forever.
Audiences will combine Glass’s words and the dancers’
movement to immerse themselves in stories. Two artistic mediums, one all speech
and one all movement, come together in an unforgettable way. “What makes it
work is a shared sensibility,” Glass says. “As dancers, Monica and Anna are
these amazingly relatable and funny storytellers without words.”
