To access our studios in Town Pavilion, you can use the building entrance facing Walnut Street that is directly in front of Oppenstein Brothers Memorial Park. The elevator lobby will be towards your right. Volunteers will be there to activate elevators and they will be required to grant you access to the sixth floor.

Parking can be found in various areas around Town Pavilion. Free and metered parking is available on various blocks around Town Pavilion. With a ticket validation from Cosentino’s or Kaldi’s Coffee comes parking in the Cosentino’s parking lot. You can also park near Union Station and ride the KC Streetcar to Town Pavilion.

Performance Schedule:

5:00pm Andi Meyer (Dance Studio)

6:00 Jessica Ayala and Sheri Hall (Dance Studio)

6:30 Danielle Hennerberg performs (Blackbox)
Danielle performs “Meet You At the Moon,” which is a jazz score arranged for trombone, piano, bass and drums.

7:30 Daniel Hogans (Blackbox)

8:00 Madison Mae Parker (Dance Studio)
Madison Mae Parker will be performing an excerpt from her one woman show Unravel. Unravel is the discovery, the making, the deconstruction, the reconstruction of our relationship with bodies. Come experience a poetry and movement based performance on fabric, bodies, souls, and the thread that stitches us all together. Unravel originally premiered in November 2017 at The Arts Asylum.

8:30 pm Jason Zeh (Blackbox)
Jason Zeh will be presenting a sound-based, performance work-in-progress. The piece employs layers of sin waves and cassette drones, hacked cassette-transcription machines, and computer-generated text. The piece rests somewhere between poetry, music, and performance art.

9:00 Karla Tull Aron (Dance Studio)
A smoky cocktail of intimate musical theatre pieces and moods by composer and pianist Karla Aron. Featuring Danielle Jean Hennerberg, trombone; Daniel Hogans, drums; and Tim Metz, guitar.

9:30pm Mazzy Mann (Blackbox)
Mazzy performs “Fine Dining,” is an immersive experience of free-form jazz piano and keys implementing soul, blues, and operatic vocal stylings. Thomas Wilson will be on keys, Mazzy Mann will be the vocalist. The inspiration of this piece derives from the experiences one might have infinite connections through a restaurant setting: a first date, an awkward family dinner, the last time two loved ones will ever see each other. The atmosphere will be like a last call at a late night near empty diner.
