Strike Anywhere Presents !!FreEpLaY!! POP-top-IMPROV Tonight, 6/6

!!FreEpLaY!! is Strike Anywhere's monthly improvised performance series at the Brecht Forum. This month's show is the final show in SA's 2011-2012 season.

The evening features SA's interdisciplinary ensemble of world-class musicians, dancers, and actors spontaneously spinning performance pieces. Part performance, part creativity lab, the ensemble steps into the unknown, creating art in the moment, allowing intuition, the sounds of the room and audience suggestion to guide what they play. The ensemble is known for their use of Soundpainting, the sign language for conducted improvisation which allows a conductor/composer to sculpt an improvisation while it is in motion. The June show will feature the full ensemble in a series of improvisations, including a few Soundpaintings and there will be games and giveaways.

The show plays tonight, June 6, 2011 at 8:00 PM at 451 West Street, (West Side Hwy between Bank St. & Bethune), New York, NY. Presented by Strike Anywhere Performance Ensemble, tickets for the show cost from $12-$25 and can be purchased at the door. The closest subway is the A, C or E train to 14th Street.

The Strike Anywhere Performance Ensemble is an inter-disciplinary ensemble theater that has been generating original performance pieces since 1997.

The company applies structures and concepts from American jazz to their inter-disciplinary improvisations to create performances that are startlingly alive. The company is in residence at the Brecht Forum. Strike Anywhere has toured nationally and internationally. The company has appeared at the Brooklyn Academy Of Music, the American Airlines Theatre, The Irondale Center, The Zipper Factory, P.S. 122, and HERE Arts Center.
