Nov 9: StoryFaces at the Bethel Woods Center for the Arts

from the Bethel Woods website:

STORY FACES

WORLD STAGE SERIES

Bethel Woods is excited to host this intriguing, interactive performance!  Catering to family audiences, Christopher Agostino shares discoveries from his 30-year adventure in theatre, storytelling, and painting faces. Audience volunteers are brought on stage and face painted to illustrate the stories as he tells them, fully engaging the audience with a skillful spoken word performance combined with his unique visual art.  After the performance, Agostino will lead two face painting demonstrations/workshops for kids where additional participants can get their faces painted.  For more information about this show, go to Christopher Agostino’s official website

The World Stage Series presents music and performing arts from around the world with the goal of promoting respect for diversity and an appreciation of the arts in all audiences. World Stage Series performances are available for school audiences on school days and for youth, families, and the community on weekend days.

Bethel Woods’ Educational and Children’s programming is supported by Annelise Gerry and Family and the Rhulen/Loughlin Family – In Memory of Trevor John Loughlin.  Transportation, admission, and scholarships provided in part by TD Charitable Foundation and First Niagara Foundation.

Music and dance transcend
Música y danza trascienden
Dancers and musicians in Calpulli Mexican Dance Company’s “Dia de los muertos” capture humor, passion, longing, and hope. They create celebrations of life in which Los enamorados, Skeleto, and La Catrina partake. Dancers are often the pawns of these characters, being easily manipulated for a purpose. A tapestry of live music is the background of the stories traveling from the serenades of the Mariachi, to the heart-pounding rhythms of the Aztec, to the brass bands of northern Mexico.
The performances will feature the debut of the following:
  • the suite “Hermoso Oaxaca” (Beautiful Oaxaca) choreographed by Alberto Lopez & Noemy Hernandez capturing a glimpse of the world-famous Guelaguetza
  • the piece “El jarabillo” choreographed by Roberto Lara explores the stylized dances from Michoacan
  • a reprise of “El regreso/ petalos” (The Return/ Petals)a contemporary piece depicting the welcoming of a loved one
 
Box office/ Taquilla: 212-650-6900
 
Bailarines y músicos en “Día de los Muertos” de Calpulli Danza Mexicana captan el humor, la pasión, el anhelo, y la esperanza. Crean celebraciones de la vida en la que Los enamorados, Skeleto, y La Catrina participan. Los bailarines suelen ser los peones de estos personajes, siendo fáciles de manipular para un propósito. Un tapiz de la música en vivo es el trasfondo de las historias que viajan desde las serenatas de mariachi, a los ritmos palpitantes de los aztecas, y las bandas de viento del norte de México. Las actuaciones contarán con el debut de:

  • un cuadro “Hermoso Oaxaca” con coreografía de Alberto Lopez y Noemy Hernandez captando un vistazo de la mundialmente famosa Guelaguetza
  • la pieza “El jarabillo” con coreografía de Roberto Lara explora las danzas estilizadas de Michoacán
  • una nueva version de “El Regreso / petalos” una pieza contemporanea que representa la acogida de un ser querido.
