Dec.  2

 Choreographer Michael Jahoda (in picture) chose seven dancers to perform pieces in his Emerging Artists Series, calling in "New Salt from the Stock." Jahoda worked with the dancers, discussing choreography, and invited guests in to comment upon the works-in-progress. On Saturday Dec. 2 at Green Street Studios, the "New Salt" will be sprinkled on a new audience. We admit we don't always "get" the themes behind the dances, and simply get caught up in the music and the motion, but there are stated purposes. Among them: Heather Bryce explores fear propaganda in American media and politics, and Arlene Steiner unveils a dance which deals with jarring life changes and loss of support. Starts at 8 p.m. Tickets: $20.
