DCCA presents
something completely different
Darke County Center for the Arts will present high-tech comedy musical
act AudioBody at Henry St. Clair Memorial Hall in Greenville at 7 p.m.
on Thursday, December 15. According to DCCA Artistic Director Keith
Rawlins, the performance is difficult to describe and the artists
almost impossible to label. “This show is part of our intimate
Coffeehouse Series, but could not be contained within the confines of
the small venues where these performances usually occur,” Rawlins
stated. “An innovative mix of comedy, circus arts, and up-beat music
with cutting edge technology, AudioBody's performance will captivate
and delight audiences of all ages,” he said.
According to Mr. Rawlins, AudioBody founders Matthew and Jason Tardy
began their performing career as young teenagers, presenting sketch
comedy in their home town, then trained with physical comedians, mime
masters, gold-medal jugglers, and Cirque du Soleil performers before
creating their current show that has played cruise ships, resort
casinos, and the White House. Their arsenal of audio-visual inventions
include wearable electronic jumpsuits that play music as they move,
fluorescent light ropes that form the shapes of sound waves, an
electronic drum set, and a computerized LED lighting system. “AudioBody
presents a uniquely creative energetic show that provides something for
everyone,” Rawlins concluded.
DCCA's Coffeehouse Series is sponsored by EB Real Estate, Julie and Tom
Graber, Eileen and Steve Litchfield, and Rodney Oda. The Ohio Arts
Council helps fund this program with state tax dollars to encourage
economic growth, educational excellence and cultural enrichment for all
Ohioans. DCCA also receives operating support from the Harry D. and
Esther Stephens Memorial as well as funding from the Ketrow Foundation
and Lydia E. Schaurer Memorial Trust Fund.
Tickets for the Coffeehouse Series performance by AudioBody cost $10,
and can be purchased by contacting DCCA at 937-547-0908 or
dcca@centerforarts.net, or at DCCA's office located within Greenville
Public Library as well as online at www.CenterForArts.net. If any
remain by showtime, tickets will also be available at the door.
AudioBody will also perform on December 14 and 15 for junior high
students as part of DCCA's Arts In Education series; these performances
at Henry St. Clair Memorial Hall are free and open to the public.
