!! FreEpLaY !! LOVE STINKS: The Anti-Valentine Improv Show - Featuring Guest Poet Jerry Williams
In honor of Valentine's Day, THE STRIKE ANYWHERE PERFORMANCE ENSEMBLE uses its monthly !!FreEpLaY!! performance series to riff on the exquisite pain of heartache. The evening will feature several guest appearances including downtown performer Laura Wickens and poet Jerry Williams. Williams will read from "It's Not You, It's Me" , his recently released collection of poetry on break-up and divorce. SA's interdisciplinary ensemble of world-class musicians, dancers, and actors will improvise off of humorous and heart-wrenching stories of missed love, foolish foibles, heart-break and divorce. Known for their use of SOUNDPAINTING, the live composing sign language, the ensemble creates art in the moment, allowing intuition, the sounds of the room and audience suggestion to shape what they play. !!FreEpLaY!! Sundays happen every second Sunday of the month at the Brecht Forum at 7:30PM.

SPRING AHEAD: IT'S TIME- the 3D Jazz Improv Show!
To celebrate the changing of the clocks, THE STRIKE ANYWHERE PERFORMANCE ENSEMBLE uses its monthly !!FreEpLaY!! performance series to riff on the lengthening daylight hours and the rumor of impending spring. SA's interdisciplinary ensemble of world-class jazz musicians, modern dancers, and actors will spontaneously spin out performance pieces in a style dubbed 3D-Jazz. Known for their use of SOUNDPAINTING, the live composing sign language, the ensemble creates art in the moment, allowing intuition, the sounds of the room and audience suggestion to shape what they play.

| "Untidy gray areas exist in the way we experience art - between artist and composition, between audience and performance, between painting and music and poetry and dance, between structure and chaos. ...Smack in the middle of this in-between-ness lives the Strike Anywhere Performance Ensemble."
- Carlton Wilkinson, Asbury Park Press
