And the rush continues..

Wow, it's been awhile over here at the Z Space blog. The year got off to a fast-paced start for us with the World Premiere of A Round-Heeled Woman. It was an incredible ride for us all, and we hope you were able to join us.

But we are, as always, looking forward to the future. Next up at Z Space, we're proud to host three amazing companies in our new home at Theater Artaud, not the mention the return of a favorite:

February 24-27: Kronos Quartet presents Kronos: Music from 4 Fences

On February 24-27, Kronos performs 4 programs in 4 nights at Z Space @ Artaud, featuring the West Coast premiere of Jon Rose's Music From 4 Fences. Premiered at the Sydney Opera House, the work features Kronos performing on four specially-built fences to create an eclectic aural environment, accompanied by a visual design by Willie Williams.

Each concert also features a work by one of the four young composers commissioned by Kronos' Under 30 Project, along with works by Terry Riley, Damon Albarn (Feb 24), John Zorn (Feb 25), Clint Mansell (Feb 26), and Bryce Dessner (Feb 27).

March 4-6: Hope Mohr Dance presents it's Third Home Season

Hope Mohr Dance presents works by three generations of female dance makers—Hope Mohr, Molissa Fenley and Yvonne Rainer. The evening features the premiere of Far from Perfect by Mohr, a new solo entitled Mass Balance created and performed by Fenley, and the legendary Yvonne Rainer’s pioneering work Trio A. Inspired by the work of painter Agnes Martin, Far from Perfect explores forgiveness and the creative process as two journeys that can illuminate each other. Mohr’s collaborators include poet Brenda Hillman and designer David Szlasa, whose visual environment combines projections of Hillman’s text, re-creations of Martin’s grid paintings, and home video footage.

March 24-28: The first annual KUNST-STOFF Arts Gala

Two exhilarating programs, featuring
works by: Sara Shelton Mann, Yannis Adoniou's KUNST-STOFF, La ALTERNATIVA, and "Project 4x4" directed and performed by Annie Rosenthal Parr, Kathleen Hermasdorf, Yannis Adoniou, Andrew Wards; and Yannis Adoniou's KUNST-STOFF dance company revisits two critically acclaimed works, Un-state and Raqs al Moza with guest artists Dohee Lee, Jethro DeHart and David Petrelli

Last, and certainly not least, on March 20-21, Z Space is proud to present the Bon Voyage Benefit performance of Tennessee William's Two On A Party! Don't miss a chance to see Word For Word work their magic on a hidden gem written by one of the great American playwrights. Two performances only, before the cast and crew pack up and head out to tour the show throughout France!
