DANCE: PAUL TAYLOR DANCE COMPANY

The Quintessence of Performance Art Comes to the Imperial


“Only a great choreographer with the mind of a great novelist could have created a work of such imaginative breadth – a category in which Taylor has no peer.” 
— NEWSWEEK ABOUT “SPEAKING IN TONGUES”



On April 14, the Paul Taylor Dance Company will perform Speaking in Tongues and Esplanade as part of the Augusta Ballet season at the Imperial Theatre. Sean Patrick Mahoney, one of the dancers appearing in Augusta, began his career with Taylor 2 and debuted with the Paul Taylor Dance Company in January 2004.

Rockabilly madness tonight!

Bill Davis wrote the majority of the songs with primitive folk artist John Preble of UCM Museum fame. Dash Rip Rock is a study in the art of southern decadence and wild native abandon. Dash Rip Rock has played every imaginable sort of revel - swamp parties, debutante parties, barn parties, farm parties, biker parties, cowboy parties, pool parties, Mardi Gras balls and beach blow-outs. Some were wild and exciting -  others creepy and terrifying. 

Tonight they play LIVE at:
Metro Pub & Coffeehouse!
