VISCERAL: relating to a deep inward feeling rather than to intellect.
Have you ever wanted to dip your toe into the water, but have been afraid to jump all the way in? A calling, curiosity, or purpose, that you’ve always known was for you but, you have been too afraid to dive in, and live in the fullness it. Diving into the water is where the adventure begins and life truly starts.
Visceral is an immersive dance performance that will explore taking the plunge and all of the emotions that come with it!
Entrapment, Rage, and Self Doubt -- finding relationship with yourself, to others, and to the world around you.

Sunday, May 28th
The final program of the 2022/23 OFF the Beaten Path Performances Series. Blizzard of One features vocalist, educator and actor Richard Oliver. This experience juxtaposes the recitation of Mark Strand’s Blizzard of One with Franz Schubert’s late String Quartet in G Major. Blizzard of One fosters and encourages musical and artistic expression in arts and cultural experiences by presenting a concert program that audience members recognize. The audience will view the program in a different light due to the music program's collaborative spirit between the spoken word and music.
PROGRAM
String Quartet No. 15 in G major - Franz Schubert
**This concert is funded by the Dallas Office of Arts and Culture (OAC) ArtsActivate grant**
EMERGE is offering a "Pay what you can" method for the 2022-2023 Performance Series.

ARTIST STATEMENT
I want to revisit memories of coming from a country, former Yugoslavia, torn by civil war, and later working in Afghanistan as a contractor but not as a direct description of the destruction wars leave behind, rather as a reflection of relations, or contradictions between perceived fragility of human flesh and or spirit in relation to materials associated with strength and endurance, i.e., stones, concrete blocks, bunkers and or sandbags.
