Jordan Hamilton with Akwi Nji
<p>Jordan Hamilton with Akwi Nji at CSPS Hall on Friday, October 6, 2023 @ 8PM.</p><p>Cellist and vocalist Jordan Hamilton is a mix of mastery and maverick musicality; hip-hop influences, rhythmically layered, melodically robust. Driven by diversity, drawn to the cello's tone, cosmic strings calling souls home.

Akwi Nji is an interdisciplinary artist creating in words, voice, and visual art. Her work and words have appeared on stage from California's Wine Country to New York's Fashion Week and her collaborative partners include Emmy award-winning composers and nationally recognized videographers, musicians, dancers and choreographers, and photographers.</p><p>This is a General Admission seated show held in the theater of CSPS Hall. Doors will open 1 hour before showtime.</p><p>$16 Advance | $20 Door</p> 2023-09-13 23:00:00 -0500

Macbeth
<p>Do we have good and evil within us? How do we navigate by our inner moral compass? Foretold of his kingship, Macbeth—reimagined as three figures—sets out to claim the throne and keep it in his grasp. Mary Mayo’s production of Shakespeare’s classic draws forth the influences on our decision-making and offers a fresh embodied exploration of Macbeth’s tragic fall from grace.</p><p><em>Please be advised this performance includes the use of haze and includes scenes portraying violence, death onstage, violence against a child, and death of a child onstage.</em></p> 2023-09-18 22:30:00 -0500
