A final tour for a modern master

In dance circles Desmond Richardson is famous. Very.

And residents of the area will have the opportunity to see him perform in hist last tour as a principal dancer on Saturday.

Richardson and  Complexions Contemporary Ballet will be on stage Bloomsburg University on Saturday, March 31, at 8 p.m. in Haas Center for the Arts, Mitrani Hall.

Tickets are $34.50 for adults and $19.50 for children.

Complexions debuted in 1994 under the direction of Dwight Rhoden and Desmond Richardson. With appearances on “So You Think You Can Dance” in both the United States and Australia, the company works to remove the boundaries of dance by combining many styles and periods of the art, echoing the constant movement of our world.

The Complexions show is part of the university's Celebrity Artist Series. The final show for the 2011-2012 season is a concert featuring jazz artists Grace Kelly and Phil Woods on Friday, April 13, at 7:30 p.m. also in Mitrani Hall. General admission tickets are $34.50. The box office number is (570) 389-4409.

If I was into dance (check that box) and free that night (unfortunately no), I would be sure to see this. (I still regret no seeing B.B. King at Penn State when I was a student). — EGF.
