Performance
"Anna Halprin: Parades & Changes"
Iconic choreographer Anna Halprin revamps her revolutionary, post-modern piece for its final performance. Originally choreographed in 1965, Parades & Changes opened up the current BAM/PFA facility in 1970. Prior to each performance, Halprin shuffles dancer and stage crew instructions on cards, making each performance an unrehearsed, problem solving experience. This innovative piece, which was banned by New York City Police, is something that must be seen to be understood.
When: 7:30pm, Fri. 2/15–Sun. 2/17
Where: Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive, 2575 Bancroft Way, Berkeley
