Hot Hot Heat

Presented by Postfontaine at In The Venue

See Hot Hot Heat at In The Venue! Hey Rosetta! will open. Beginning as a noisy, synth-based combo in 1999, Victoria, British Colombia's Hot Hot Heat evolved into an aggressively catchy indie rock band two years later, when keyboardist Steve Bays took on the vocal duties, and guitarist Dante DeCaro joined their ranks. The group's new lineup ? which also featured founding members Paul Hawley on drums and Dustin Hawthorne on bass ? brought a newfound sense of melody and witty wordplay to their music, which they debuted on their 2002 EP Knock Knock Knock.

Configurations

Presented by Ririe-Woodbury Dance Company at Rose Wagner Performing Arts Center

Become absorbed in the Configurations of contemporary dance as Ririe-Woodbury explores the depths of the human experience with four phenomenal choreographers, including one of America's foremost, Bill T. Jones. His commanding work "Duet" is performed to the traditional music of Madagascar and the Ivory Coast. With its extremely stylized and meticulously crafted movement this work is visual art in motion.

Artistic Director Charlotte Boye-Christensen will also premiere a work inspired by the movie 32 Short Films About Glenn Gould, exploring the life of this eccentric Canadian pianist.

Then New York based Susan Marshall exposes the emotional and absurd side of the human condition in "Cloudless," which City Weekly named the "Best Imported Work of Genius" in 2009. While David Rousseve's touching "Bittersweet Chocolate," performed to the passionate prelude from Richard Wagner's opera Tristan and Isolde, reminds us of the significance of love.

Space Station 3D is the story of this unique partnership of 16 nations building a laboratory in outer space, a permanent facility for the study of the effects of long-duration exposure to zero gravity and the necessary first step towards the global co-operative effort needed if man is to someday set foot on Mars.
