Emily Elliot took a turn out in front of the Yellow Springs Dance Improv performance on the steps of the Winds Wine Cellar last Friday night, which opened the Yellow Springs Arts Council’s March Third Friday Fling event. Phillip Bottelier led a drumming group in the background, and the event continued in the 360° Studio Theater with hoop dancing by Soul Fire Tribe, a ribbon dance, Melissa Heston’s original work, “Bon Voyage,” and an improvisation by Heston, Ali Thomas and Marybeth Wolf that drew belly laughs.

Every year the local blues fest reminds community members about the roots of contemporary popular music. If gospel can spawn the blues, jazz, reggae and rap, then what can the art of the local community tell us about our own history and roots?

It will be an evening of performances in which villagers use the arts to connect to and share their own stories.
