No, it’s not an Adele CD release party… it’s the 25^th Anniversary of the Lisa Leizman Dance Company!

A resident company of the Northampton Center for the Arts, the group has chosen a special program to celebrate 25 years of dancing together. In a concert of works old and new, enjoy audience favorites All Blues, set to the classic Miles Davis tune, and some bird, perhaps with music by Arvo Part. This special anniversary concert also features the first full performance of Instructions for When There’s a Mountain, written by company composer-in-residence Andrea Kwapien. Inspired by her travels to Southeast Asia, Kwapien’s score shimmers with the sounds of bells, bowls, kalimba and flute. And, following their decades-long tradition, the company invites the audience to linger after the concert for a bonus treat… a festive buffet dinner reception prepared by the company!

Exciting News for A Happening V: The Bestiary

Cloudgaze and Eggtooth Productions are thrilled to announce that we have received generous grants from the Mass Cultural Council as well as the Community Foundation of Western MA to support our 2025 Immersive Arts Festival, “A Happening V: The Bestiary.”

This festival will transform the Shea Theater into an exploration of theme, hosting installations, music, theatrical performances, and movement pieces, featuring the collective contributions of over 50 local artists. Audiences will experience otherworldly environments and narratives inspired by Aesop's Fables, George Orwell's Animal Farm, newly imagined cautionary tales, and creature myths of all origins.

Thanks to the Mass Cultural Council for their vital support this year.We'd also like to thank the Community Foundation of Western Massachusetts for their support in the form of a Flexible Funding grant. We couldn't do this work without you!
