Kingfield Neighborhood Association

At 7:30 on Saturday you are invited indoors at the Center for Performing Arts, for a free public performance by three local artists as part of the CFPA “Works in Progress: a ReClaim New Works Residency” series. Artists include:

• April Sellers Dance Collective is nationally recognized for their gender-bending, feminist-infused performances.
• Ben Swenson-Klatt (Kingfield native!) is a performance artist creating work focused on the interactions between movement and text, seeking opportunities that challenge the audience and disrupt the ordinary through the creation of activated art.
• Emily Rose Duea is passionate about sharing stories and creating discourse within the community.
