(2005) April 16, Krasnoyarsk, Russia and (2004)  December 3 (USA)  Shocked and Odd
“Live  Art” improvisation events that took place in two countries, Russia and American, that encouraged  extreme movement and character concepts:

The Russia performance was part of the programming for the International Festival of Modern Dance “Isadora” in Krasnoyarsk, Eastern Siberia, Russia where Maida Withers Dance Construction Company were guest artists (April 10 to 17, 2005). The improvisation performance took place April 16, 2005 outside the theatre and and, then, inside the spectacular Ballet and Opera House (among the public, not on stage) in Krasnoyarsk, Siberia, Russia prior to a concert on the stage.

Note:  (2004) December 3 The American improvisation performance was presented in downtown Washington, DC as part of the 10th International Improvisation Plus+ Festival that included international, national, and local dancers. See International Improvisation Plus+ Fesetival for more information.
