TINYTOUR
Rather than looking for a stage to perform on, choreographer and dancer Kelly Silliman supplies her own. Silliman, the director of the tinydance project, pulls her 4-foot-by-8-foot stage behind her bicycle to outdoor settings around the Valley. The troupe begins a one-week tour of local venues of its new piece, โstill we climb,โ Saturday. Itโs low-tech (and free) and all about sustainability. You can join in bike rides to the events and community potlucks after two of them. For a schedule, visit www.tinydanceproject.com.
ANOTHER GOOD BET
I watched a video of a rehearsal for Act Too Studio Opera Workshopโs opera โIl sogno dโAriannaโ and was mighty impressed. (You can watch it, too, at vimeo.com/175955027.) This terrific young troupe performs the full-length opera, with music by Claudio Monteverdi, Friday and Saturday at 7:30 at the Academy of Music in Northampton. www.aomtheatre.com
