Dancing Lessons - a play on autism, all set to open Twin Bill Theater's third season on August 16 #DancingLessonsMNL

-
Are you in for a new romantic comedy play about two lonely souls who embark on an unlikely relationship filled with surprising discoveries and the healing power of love?

Twin Bill Theater Company is all set to open its third season with the Asian premiere of DANCING LESSONS, a 95-minute charming new two-character play by Mark St. Germain beginning August 16 at the Power Mac Center Spotlight, Level 2 Circuit Lane, Circuit Makati.

Noted playwright Mark St. Germain is known for real-life figures in his fact-inspired plays namely: Camping With Henry and Tom (about Henry Ford and Thomas Edison), Freud’s Last Session (which also featured C.S. Lewis as a character), Becoming Dr. Ruth and Scott & Hem in the Garden of Allah (featuring novelists Hemingway and F. Scott Fitzgerald). For DANCING LESSONS, Mark has written about two fictional characters in a heartfelt production that is moving, comic and sweet.
DANCING LESSONS centers on Ever Montgomery, a science professor and Senga Quinn, a Broadway dancer. At the top of her career, Senga is holed up in her apartment with a serious injury that threatens her career and identity. When neighbor Ever, a professor at New York Institute of Technology, with a condition that is fearful of touch, asks for a dancing lesson so he can deal with social intimacy (handshaking, hugs, dancing) at an upcoming awards banquet that he was tasked to host. Through the lessons, a relationship slowly develops that has both individuals stepping out of their comfort zones.

During the run of Dancing Lessons, Twin Bill Theater will engage audiences through special discussions on Asperger’s and Autism Spectrum conducted in partnership with Autism Association.

The schedule of performances of DANCING LESSONS are as follows:
August 16 – 17 (Friday – Saturday) – 8 pm
August 21 – 24 (Wednesday – Saturday) – 8 pm

Venue: Power Mac Center Spotlight, Level 2 Circuit Lane, Circuit Makati, Makati City.

Running Time: 95 minutes. For ages 13 and older.

The artistic team of DANCING LESSONS are as follows: Francis G. Matheu (Director), Mark St. Germain (Playwright), JM Cabling (Choreographer), Kayla Teodoro (Set Designer), Joseph G, Matheu (Lighting / Technical Director), Arby Dimaculangan (Sound Designer), Joyce Garcia (Video Graphics Designer) and Benjor Catindig (Graphic Designer).

Before a single note is played, there is already a journey waiting to unfold, one that moves not through space, but through centuries of sound. On January 21, the Far Eastern University Center for the Arts opens the doors of the FEU Auditorium to that journey with Tones Through Time: A Musical Odyssey , a free admission informational piano concert led by internationally acclaimed pianist and educator Dr. Raffi Kasparian . This is not simply a recital. It is an invitation to listen with context, to hear how Western music grew, shifted, and responded to the world across generations. Through carefully chosen works and thoughtful narration, the concert traces the evolution of musical language from the Baroque period to the 20th century, guiding audiences through Classical balance, Romantic emotion, Impressionistic color, and modern experimentation.
