THREE ACTS, TWO DANCERS, ONE RADIO HOST: Ira Glass, Monica Bill Barnes, Anna Bass In an unconventional performance of Radio stories and Dance Wells Fargo Center for the Arts Saturday, February 7, 2015
– Ira Glass, host of the popular NPR Radio show, This American Life has teamed with Monica Bill Barnes & Company to combine two art forms that – as Ira puts it – “have no business being together – dance and radio.” Their innovative entertainment collaboration, THREE ACTS, TWO DANCERS, ONE RADIO HOST plays Wells Fargo Center for the Arts (50 Mark West Springs Road in Santa Rosa) on Saturday February 7 at 8 pm. Tickets are currently on sale.
The show includes radio interviews restaged as dance pieces, plus stories from the lives of each of the three performers, Ira Glass, Monica Bill Barnes and Anna Bass. “What makes it work is a shared sensibility,” Glass says. “As dancers, Monica and Anna are these amazingly relatable and funny storytellers without words.” Bass notes, “I think it’s still blowing Ira’s mind to see some of the radio pieces remade this way, with props and costume changes and lighting cues.” The result is a funny, lively and heartfelt evening of dance and stories that brought down the house in its first run at Carnegie Hall.
In May 2012 they collaborated on three short dances, which were part of a This American Life variety show that was beamed into movie theaters nationwide. It was such a success that they decided to do a full show that combines stories and dance. Some are performed together onstage by Glass, Barnes and dancer Anna Bass. For a few, the dancers or the radio host take over for a while. “People who like This American Life will probably like this,” says Glass “because it’s just like the radio show, um, if you picture dancers during all the stories.”
Tickets for THREE ACTS, TWO DANCERS, ONE RADIO HOST are $35, $45, $50 and $55 and are available through Wells Fargo Center for the Arts online at wellsfargocenterarts.org, by calling 707-546-3600, or in person at the ticket office at 50 Mark West Springs Road in Santa Rosa (open daily, noon to 6pm).
