Occasional gentle teasing of the Live Arts Fest aside, September is already shaping up nicely in the local arts scene, and we are already getting pumped for the new semester of the Headlong Performance Institute. The program takes 14 young artists from across the country and puts them through a rigorous semester-long creative boot-camp of sorts, under the tutelage of artistic directors from the award-winning Headlong Dance Theater and the Pig Iron Theatre Company. We’re definitely excited to see how the newest crop of fresh-faced youths will collaborate with these innovative performers; the first public performance by the Institute attendees is coming up some time in October, and you can keep track of the group on the HPI website.
