Rachel and Leighton Edmondson reprise "-overt", now featuring two air dancers, cotton candy, and Shakespeare!
Not so unlike the historic Theater Event #1 that took place at Black Mountain College during the summer of 1952 and Norte Maar's own End of the World performance at English Kills, The Brooklyn Performance Combine unites all art forms in a fusion of poetry, sound, dance, and performance in a single cohesive 120-minute event. It will be epic.
