Behind The Curtain with BETH CORNING

Another fantastic turnout for the March 7th Behind the Curtain! Those in attendance got a sneak peek at exerpts from FEED YOUR HEAD CAFE, Beth Corning's new evening length work opening March 28 at the New Hazlett Theater.

In addition to Beth and our five amazing dancers, tonight's showing featured students from CAPA High School.

As always, the reporters gathered the comments of the audience members:


“I’ve come to a couple of these, more than a couple actually, and I’m beginning to recognize the signature style for the company itself, and I also really appreciate the experimentation and especially the collaboration with younger people.”
-Gordon Hodnett, Interviewer, Beltzhoover




“I liked it. I didn’t know what to expect, although I heard hints of it from my daughter who’s in it. You know, so I’m looking at it from the point of view of: What is the experience for her? What does she get to do?...She’s enjoying it, I enjoyed it. I will see it more than once, I’m sure, and it will be interesting to see it more than once, because there are so many different ways you can look at this.”
-Viveca Meyer, Physician, Fox Chapel




“…I don’t want to play favorites, but Stephanie and Michael both were really at the best of their form, and it was hard to keep your eyes off them. I thoroughly enjoyed it, and I’m coming to see the performance.”
-John Reynolds, CMU Professor, Shadyside
