PRESS RELEASE FROM ASHEVILLE FRINGE ARTS FESTIVAL:
Fringe Night at the Crow & Quill – Butoh Edition
July 27 marks the next installment of the Summer Fringe Nights at the Crow & Quill. This event will feature three performances by local Butoh masters. These short pieces, each about 15 – 20 minutes in length, represent a variety of Butoh styles and emotions. From the silly to the sublime, the performers present tales of weirdness and woe in various locations within the bar.
Julie Becton Gillum, internationally known dancer and founder of Legacy Butoh, is performing and coordinating this interactive evening which also features Sarah Baird from Anemone Dance Theater, Jenni Cockrell from strangedaughters butoh and Constance Humphries.
The Crow & Quill at 106 N. Lexington has an extraordinary menu of cocktails and an exquisite atmosphere that takes you back in time to a more elegant age. Come enjoy the alternate universe with a vintage whiskey or unique hand crafted cocktail and a Butoh performance.
The Summer Fringe Series wants to spark the imaginations of Fringe fans and artists so they will consider applying to perform at the 2017 Festival. The Call for Artists is now open, apply online at ashevillefringe.org.
