AVENUE Q
Imagine a Tony® Award-winning musical that’s hip, savvy, uproariously funny and where the cast consists of puppets (yes, puppets). You won’t want to miss AVENUE Q, the story of Princeton, a bright-eyed college grad who comes to New York City with big dreams and a tiny bank account.

Prices: Admission is free and open to the public.
In an astonishing exposition of choreographic fomentation, nine African choreographers tell stories of an emergent art form and their diverse and deeply contemporary expressions of self. Stunning choreography and riveting critiques challenge stale stereotypes of “traditional Africa” to unveil soul-shaking responses to the beauty and tragedy of 21st century Africa. Selected for over 40 festivals in 2007, Movement (R)evolution Africa was nominated for the Jury Prize of New York’s Dance on Camera Festival at Lincoln Center.
The Gainesville premiere will feature a post-screening panel with the producer/director Joan Frosch and the artists of the film, including Germaine Acogny (Compagnie Jant-Bi) and Jawole Willa Jo Zollar (Urban Bush Women). For more information on the world premiere of their companies’ collaboration, Les écailles de la mémoire (The scales of memory), click here.
Presented by the Center for Arts and Public Policy as part of the Cultural Diplomacy Series, in collaboration with University of Florida Performing Arts, and the Center for World Arts, School of Theatre and Dance, and Center for African Studies.
