From the organizer:
Don’t miss this innovative event, as The Remember Balloons presents a powerful intergenerational story of a child and his grandfather facing Alzheimer’s.
Join choreographer Dominic Moore-Dunson and composer Theron Brown for an exclusive cabaret-style sneak peek of their new show, The Remember Balloons! This live performance presents a powerful intergenerational story of a child and his grandfather facing Alzheimer’s. Praised by Broadway World for its "energetic blend of late 20th-century American modern dance and social dance" with an original score incorporating jazz, blues, Motown, and classical music, this event promises to captivate. Based on a children's book, the performance features an incredible cast of dancers and Northeast Ohio’s favorite live musicians, including Theron Brown (piano/conductor), Chris Anderson (trombone), Tommy Lehman (trumpet), Zaire Darden (drums), Jordan McBride (bass), and Andrea Belding (violin).
