Best Place to See Experimental Dance Performances

amid the Freaky Smell of Molten Tires

Only when experimental dance has the scrappy vigor of punk and the eccentric structural vision of Buckminster Fuller is it worth tolerating the rubbery aroma of a Firestone tire store located just downstairs. Fortunately, at Jon Sims Center for the Performing Arts, the vigor and vision are both present. Rarely is dance as entertaining and innovative as the work showcased here. The center is named for the founder of the Gay Freedom Day Marching Band and Twirling Corp., reputedly the first-ever openly gay cultural group. The center continues to offer venues and studio space for artists dealing with issues of gender and sexuality. Recent shows have encompassed everything from avant-garde to burlesque to tap dancing to avant-garde burlesque tap dancing, as well as excellent work from Sean Dorsey and Goldie Award–winner Alma Esperanza Cunningham. Yes, brain cells will be killed by the industrial vapors, but your mind will be more than compensated by the thought-provoking work.
