Amy Lynne Barr: Dance (right) performs The Toss Away(s) January 23-24.

A moving memoir told through a compilation of five solo contemporary dance performances. Choreographed and performed by local Philadelphia artist Amy Lynne Barr, the evening explores many aspects of what it really means to experience life: What is one capable of? What will one become? What is the meaning of all that surrounds us?

See On Stage.

Rosie Herrera Dance Theatre (left) performs January 15-17.

Contemporary dance meets theatre, performance art, opera, ballet...and drag! Rosie Herrera’s innovative ensemble makes its way from Miami’s vibrant arts scene to the Annenberg stage for its Philadelphia debut. A favorite at the prestigious American Dance Festival, this program includes Various Stages of Drowning: A Cabaret and Dining Alone.

See On Stage.
