BEVERLY – Dance, visual art, sound, and photography come together in Armations: Activating Adaptation, a collaborative work by professors Nicole Sao Pedro-Welch, Cynthia Roberts, and Miles Warner, with the Endicott Repertory Dance Ensemble. The futuristic creation depicts a time and place in which the environment is unfamiliar to its inhabitants, raising questions about sustaining the world and adaptation. The show premieres at The Walter J. Manninen Center for the Arts on Friday, December 11 and Saturday, December 12, at 7:30 pm, and Saturday December 12, at 2:00 pm.

The show features a guest performance by Monkeyhouse Dance Company, as well as musical pieces and live harp and cello instrumentation by Lily Press and Simon Gerstein. Re-mixing and soundscapes are further developed by Robert Guay. The producers offer special thanks to NASA, Commander Kelly, Larry Volk, and Steve Liss.

Tickets are $10 general admission, and free for ECID holders. The price of admission includes delicious desserts and soft drinks for enjoyment after the show.
