November 3, 2019: Gregory Corbino + Jennifer Miller + Lucy Sexton

Gregory Corbino presents Organ Grinder Song No. 2: brushstrokes, an illuminated painting performance for voice, brushstroke and light.
Jennifer Miller, circus director and itinerant dancer, will perform Vermont Migrations, five and a half short dances germinated deep in the rolling hills of Trump country.
