Bill Bowers, Mime Artist
7:30 p.m. Thursday, March 20
Mainstage, Frances Frazier Comstock Theatre
Hailed by critics as the most accomplished and renowned mime of his generation, Bill Bowers currently performs and teaches the art of physical storytelling throughout the world. Bowers is a mime who also talks, deftly interspersing narrative with stunning visual portraits. He marries classical aspects with contemporary sound effects and music, poses present-day considerations through physical tapestries, and invites a wholly transformative look at the humor, pain, and beauty of our humanity.
Patax
7:30 p.m. Saturday, April 5
Christiansen Recital Hall, Hvidsten Hall of Music
Patax is today's most prominent fusion band in Spain. Drawing on the legacy of jazz legends, Patax takes the fusion concept to unexplored territory, where the communication between flamenco, funk, jazz, and Afro-Cuban rhythms is the key to its complex, explosive, and magical atmospheres.
Twincussion
7:30 p.m. Saturday, April 12
Memorial Auditorium
A Taiwanese duo of identical twin brothers, Twincussion pulses with charisma, dancing through complex, engaging percussion pieces with mallets and sticks in perfect synch. Whether playing Carl Orff or George Frideric Handel, contemporary classical pieces, or Taiwan's folk songs, Twincussion's Jen-u and Jen-ting Chien welcome audiences in with musical eloquence and showmanship.
