The Odyssey: The Musical!
Source: www.wnyc.org - Saturday, August 29, 2015 Lear deBessonet conceived and directed the community-based Public Works musical adaptation of Homer’s The Odyssey at The Public Theater . Inspired by the historical pageantry movement of the early 1900s—known for blending mass spectacle with community engagement—this latest work in deBessonet and Todd Almond ’s three-part cycle reimagines the Greek epic. Man-eating Cyclops, a sorceress that turns sailors to beasts, and the deadly sweet song of the Sirens are all part of this musical about finding your way home. This original musical adaption will run for four nights only through Sunday, September 7 at the Delacorte Theater in Central Park. deBessonet and Almond will be joined by Karen Olivo , who stars as Penelope.All Related

21st Kalamata International Dance Festival
The Kalamata International Dance Festival has been continuously contributing to Greece’s artistic life for twenty one years and it has become an internationally recognized European festival, following a stable path and committing to the principles and objectives that had been set from the start. The 21st International Kalamata Dance Festival will be held from July 17 to 24 and will showcase distinct aspects of contemporary Greek and international dance creativity, presented by professionals, students, amateurs and the public. The Dance Festival is inextricably linked with the city of Kalamata and its cultural life that has bloomed at every level in recent years. The festival has established partnerships with the city’s cultural institutions in order to flourish and show the joint effort for cultural development. The difficulties that the country has faced in recent years have also influenced the Dance Festival. However, the organizers always seek to maintain the high artistic level within their financial capacity in order to bring the public in touch with the latest developments in contemporary dance but also to create new proposals in relation to more contemporary concerns of the global dance community. This year’s event will focus on young and emerging artists. Foreign performers will represent three different continents, Europe (Igor and Moreno), Africa (Dada Masilo) and Asia (Wen-Chi Su). In regards to Greek production, the festival’saim was and continues to be the promotion of Greek contemporary dance and Greek choreographers, as well as the creation of a communication channel between the domestic and international dance scene. As always, the festival schedule will also include educational activities, such as a daily seminar for professionals and dance students led by Spanish dance teacher Laida Aldaz Arrieta.
