Mile Zero Dance presents: Dirt Buffet Cabaret #34
Mile Zero Dance confirms additional Dirt Buffet Cabaret performance with founder Ben Gorodetsky for a special one-off show.
Mile Zero Dance (MZD) has included an additional Dirt Buffet Cabaret performance to their Swerve 2017-18 season with series founder Ben Gorodetsky curating and hosting the experimental variety show on Saturday, July 14 at 8 PM at Spazio Performativo (10816 95 St.). Entry is $10 at the door, but no one will be refused for lack of funds.
With a special emphasis on freaky fun and ecstatic experimentation, Ben has curated an all-star variety show that promises to blow the doors off the Mile Zero performance laboratory. The show is structured in 10-minute segments of concept comedy, dance, performance art, music, and many other shades of Vaudevillian spectacle where anything goes.
Entering the performance laboratory are:
• Todd Houseman – Political performance
• Mustafa Rafiq aka Family Injera – Ambient music and sound art
• Louise Casemore – Theatrical performance
• Sarah Ormandy and Alex Dawkins – Anti-comedy and existential chaos
• Sean Arceta – B-boy dance
• Stacey Murchison – Afterparty DJ
• Plus, a burlesque comedy art and an inscrutable media art piece by Ben Gorodetsky
