Aileen Mapes will unveil her valley wide Guerrilla Dance Attacks in collaboration with Arizona State University’s Herberger College of Theatre. Choreographer & Director, Mapes showcases her Master Thesis project acknowledges that, “the show, is a culmination of a year developing a multi-media interactive dance experience with unexpected twists.”

Aileen Mapes challenges the roles of both the audience and the performer. She also challenges the space that both inhabit. Aileen attacks the space, not the people. The dancers often have riddles to solve, and should those around them solve the riddle, they are encouraged to join. She believes that we are all dancers, and creative artists. At Alwun House they say, “all the gardens a stage,” never truer than this show, with action moving from stage to audience to garden areas, for a memorable multi-media interactive dance experience. This performance promises to be two hours of an interactive dance, unlike anything you're ever experienced.

Light refreshments available prior to performance, with a Meet-the-Players reception following the performance.
