SHOWS - May 10, 16-17, 2008

MAY 10 - B-GIRLIN' WITH CULTURE SHOCK LA...

Imagine a world where someone's inner expression has been suppressed and regulated like some drug waiting for FDA approval. Imagine a world where your voice is seen as weapon of mass destruction. Imagine a world where rhythms and beats have been buried, for the greater "good".

That is the world these four individuals live in...

A BEAUTIFUL STRUGGLE
[A classic novel gets a Hip Hop spin]

"A Beautiful Struggle" tells the story of four individuals who dare to create in a time when artistic expression has been outlawed. Inspired by the real life experiences of those whose lives have been deeply touched by the arts and inexorably changed by a belief in themselves, this unique original work uses music, art, spoken word, and dance to bring their stories to the stage. This truly collaborative effort includes performances by Culture Shock San Diego, RhetOracle Dance Company, Creative Planet, Kaba Modern, and members of the Jabbawockeez.

Barbara Duffy is "one of the most inventive tappers around today", said Gregory Hines. Barbara's performance highlights include "THE GREGORY HINES SHOW", where she was a featured dancer, actress and choreographer, "GALA FOR THE PRESIDENT", performing with Gregory Hines before President and Mrs. Bill Clinton and as dance captain and featured dancer in Brenda Bufalino's AMERICAN TAP DANCE ORCHESTRA. Barbara performs as a featured soloist across the United States and overseas, including London's Queen Elizabeth Hall, where she was hailed as "a riveting performer" by the Independent. Her all women ensemble, Barbara Duffy & Company has performed at the Duke Theatre, NYC, the Joyce Theater, NYC, Lincoln Center Out-of-Doors, NYC, the University of Richmond, the Tanz Haus Theatre in Dusseldorf, Germany and with Tap City On Tour. A highly sought after teacher, Barbara has taught at numerous workshops and festivals in 15 countries. When not on the road, Barbara teaches classes in New York City at Broadway Dance Center and Steps On Broadway. Her greatest inspirations are Brenda Bufalino, the late Leon Collins and the late Gregory Hines.
