    August 14, 2010, 7PM at The Sculpture Garden
    1834 East 123rd Street
    Cleveland, OH
  The Best Location  
In "The Best Location" Still Searching: A Woven Reflection three celebrated artists share tales of power, longing, heartache, and joys in ancestral travels and searches for "The Best Location." Prolific sculptor/installation artist Johnny Coleman, renowned choreographer/dancer Dianne McIntyre, and insightful writer Bernard Matambo join forces to compose a series of intentional gestures referencing the bold traverses of African descended peoples. With sound design, dance, spoken word, and theatrically sculpted materials, the three will lead visitors on travels through the beautiful Sculpture Center. The journey culminates with interwoven contemplative reflections on Cleveland. This one-time event, part of the Cleveland Arts Prize Goes Live, is in celebration of the 50th Anniversary of the Cleveland Arts Prize of which Johnny Coleman and Dianne McIntyre are recipients.
