    ArtPower! Presents Rubberbandance Group
    8:00PM
    Mandeville Auditorium
    An über-physical hybrid of precision and invention, RBDG mixes up explosive hip-hop, contemporary, and classical dance with energy that pops and sizzles. Quijada is a total original who grew up on the streets of Los Angeles and was nicknamed Rubberband by b-boys and rappers for his unusually elastic dancing style. RBDG is a new fusion that involves an expansive, sophisticated approach to physicality, line, and form. ArtPower! presents Elastic Perspective, a spectacular suite of dances to an eclectic and unlikely music mix that ignites competitive group fireworks with tango-inflected duets, lifts, and spins. Adults: $36/$32; Faculty/Staff: $ 31/$27; UCSD Students: $17/$15.

    Purchase: Call 858.534.TIXS or visit www.artpower.ucsd.edu
