WING IT!: “Making Ahhht”
Phil Porter
Oakland, CA
Fri & Sat, May 17 & 18, 2013 • 7:30 pm
What does it mean to be an artist these days??
Is it a select club? What is it like to carry on any sort of art practice in and around the rest of our lives? Can’t we all claim our artist-selves?
In these two evening concerts, WING IT! Performance Ensemble will make some art and reflect on making art!
WING IT! creates moving and amusing concerts weaving the stuff of life into story, song, live music and dance. All done on the spot!
WING IT! is a gang of over twenty performers who are master improvisers. The company is based in Oakland, CA and has been creating their unique blend of accessible magic for 23 years.
Cost: $10 in advance/$15 at the door
