It's that time of the week again, and DevilPass is ever your faithful guide through the trials and travails of a successful weekend in downtown Phoenix.
This week, get ready to push the envelope. Take in experimental percussion ensembles and jazz experimentation at the Trunk Space; hear horror stories of the past with “hipstorian” Marshall Shore; view postmodern fashion from local favorites UN3EK SY5STEM; think through unconventional lunch-time theater from Improbable Theater Company; and absorb a re-telling of the ever-shocking classic, The Great Gatsby.
It’s the perfect time for a break. School and work are weighing you down. It’s been too long since a federal holiday. There’s no better week than this to take some time off, and Downtown Phoenix is chock-full of events for even the most discerning entertainment connoisseur.
Don’t doubt things that aren’t familiar. This week, numerous Phoenix figures are bringing the supposedly “dull” and old media of lectures, American history, classical music, blues and jazz into relevance for people of all ages and interests.
This week, the theme is old meet new. Two-tone ska legends meet local innovators. Native traditions meet contemporary art forums. Greek myths inspire avant-garde performance. The vagabond lifestyle meets the modern city. Classic Latin principles coalesce in modern dance. Oh, and spinning for a good cause!
