PRESENTED BY EIGHTH & EIGHT CREATIVE SPACES
150 min., includes 15-minute intermission
Sexy, sassy and snazzy describe the dynamic dance work of choreographer, stage and film director BOB FOSSE, one of the most important and influential figures in 20th century American dance. Bob Fosse’s vivacious approach to choreography on stage and in film, along with his cinematic techniques, are the topics of this presentation by classic film scholar and movie musical maven, MICHAEL VAN DEN BOS. This entertaining evening looks at all that Fosse flash, steam heat and razzle dazzle dance from his early movie appearances, his choreography for classic film musicals and television work, and his years directing stylish, mature musical films, including the Oscar-winning CABARET and Fosse’s own semi-autobiographical ALL THAT JAZZ. Michael also shines a bright spotlight on Fosse’s wife, muse and dancer extraordinaire, the glorious GWEN VERDON.
