Preview: Grupo Corpo

Hello again Michigan art goers! Break is over and classes have started again. You’re back to procrastinating, partying, “studying,” and skipping class. With all of that slacking to you might forget about some of the awesome opportunities that the university provides for you to do just that. For example, my next planned procrastination is happening on Friday, January 21st at the Power Center for the Performing Arts. Grupo Corpo, a Brazilian dance company, is coming to the University of Michigan for two magnificent performances. Grupo Corpo came to the university once before in 2002 and now they’re back to dance for another batch of interested and excited students.

This dance company mixes traditional ballet, modern dance, and cultural flair to create an elegant and sensual sensation for all to see. If you love the beauty of dance and a bit of Latin flavor, you should go to this show.

One last detail that you may find interesting; this is one of the many Arts and Eats events hosted by UMS. Tickets cost $15 and the seats are great + it includes a pizza dinner before the concert and a 10-minute talk by a seasoned expert about the evening’s performance. (Note: you can attend Grupo Corpo without participating in this Arts & Eats opportunity.) It’s going to be a great night (and it makes a great date night if you are looking to ask someone out)!

So once more, here are the details:

What? Grupo Corpo (Arts & Eats Tickets available here)
When? Friday, January 21, 2011 8:00pm
-or- Saturday January 22, 2011 8:00pm

As always,
This is Danny Fob: Artist and Art Reviewer

I'm a Junior in LSA majoring in Italian and minoring in Art History. I love writing for art[seen] because it gives me the opportunity to show all of these amazing shows that the University brings to Ann Arbor. We get some world class performers and I would be really bummed if I missed out on anything that I'll never have to opportunity to see again. What you need to know about me? I'm not a writer, an art expert, and I didn't grow up around this much culture. I am a busy student at UofM, so if you are judging me for something, it's okay because I won't have time to respond. I'll just keep seeing shows and you can be jealous!
