Bemidji Live 1st City/Saturday Performance Series

The intent of the 1st City/Saturday Series is to provide performance artists and their audiences with an opportunity to elevate their performance experience. Through explanation and discussion both the artist and audience will delve into the creative process, performance experiences and insights as well as other artistic nuances.  Actively seeking a greater understanding of the artists relationship with the medium (Music, Acting etc…) through an intimate verbal back and forth will bring the audience very close to the material and as an artist having an audience that has been enlightened as to the intent of your material increases the subsequent shared performance.

A relaxed atmosphere with a comfortable exchange will make each of these performances unique and memorable.

Tickets: $8.00 available at the Wild Hare Bistro (Open House on May 1st is free)

Wine, Coffee & Desserts will be available for purchase.
