SUMMARY:Ladies of Hip Hop
DESCRIPTION:Ladies of Hip Hop (LOHH) is an all-female intergenerational dance collective that creates dance works illuminating the strength\, power\, and diversity of women in Hip Hop. Under the direction of founder Michele Byrd-McPhee\, LOHH interweaves the embodied experiences of women\, creating a communal fabric that paints a picture of a more global women experience. Through their work\, LOHH is reclaiming and transforming spaces\, not only in the realm of dance but also within the broader cultural landscape.  \nThe Black Dancing Bodies Project is an initiative to uplift and celebrate Black women in street and club dance culture\, addressing the erasure and miscoding of Black women’s contributions to American dance culture. Black Dancing Bodies Project: Speak My Mind reclaims community stories\, gestures\, mannerisms\, hairstyles\, dances\, and cultural norms. With neck rolling\, eye rolling\, tongue popping\, teeth sucking\, hand clapping\, and finger snapping\, we will be loud\, expressive\, gentle\, and soft. We will be authentically ourselves. We will speak our minds. \nSpeakMyMind was commissioned by Works & Process\, developed in Works & Process LaunchPAD residencies at Bethany Arts Community (2022\, 2023\, and 2024) and Catskill Mountain Foundation (2022)\, Office Hours Residency at The Kennedy Center\, and Jacob’s Pillow Lab. \nSpeakMyMind is a 2023 New England Foundation for the Arts’s National Dance Project grantee\, with lead funding from the Doris Duke Foundation and Mellon Foundation. \nBonus Experiences:\nPost-Show Q&A – Join us for a post-show Q&A with some of the cast after the show!

SUMMARY:Lakecia Benjamin
DESCRIPTION:With her deep jazz roots\, electric presence\, and fiery sax work\, Lakecia Benjamin fuses traditional concepts of jazz\, hip hop\, and soul to create a fresh new sound. A dynamic young performer\, Benjamin has shared stages with many legendary artists\, including Stevie Wonder\, Alicia Keys\, Christian McBride\, Gregory Porter\, and The Roots and was voted “Rising Star Alto Saxophonist” in the 2020 Downbeat Critics Poll and “Up and Coming Artist of the Year” by the Jazz Journalists Association.  \nFor her MPAC debut\, Benjamin features the quartet from her 2023 release\, Phoenix\, an album that featured cameos by some of Benjamin’s heroes including Wayne Shorter\, Angela Davis\, Dianne Reeves\, and Patrice Rushen. \n“Lakecia Benjamin plays jazz that is sprinkled with the rich flavors of funk and soul—she’s a crafty traditionalist who remains in step with the rhythms of the young generation.” — The New Yorker \n“This is musical storytelling at its finest.” — Downbeat \n  \nThis show is part of the 2024/25 MPAC Presents Jazz series.

SUMMARY:The Cher Show
DESCRIPTION:Superstars come and go. Cher is forever. For six straight decades\, only one unstoppable force has flat-out dominated popular culture – breaking down barriers\, pushing boundaries and letting nothing and no one stand in her way. THE CHER SHOW is the Tony Award®-winning musical of her story\, and it’s packed with so much Cher that it takes three women to play her: the bright-eyed kid starting out\, the glam pop star\, and the icon. \n\n\nTHE CHER SHOW is 35 smash hits\, six decades of stardom\, two rock-star husbands\, a Grammy®\, an Oscar®\, an Emmy®\, and enough Tony Award-winning Bob Mackie gowns to cause a sequin shortage in New York City\, all in one unabashedly fabulous new musical that will have audiences dancing in the aisles!
