Central Atrium

Red Bull Dance Your Style is returning to Memphis — challenging some of the best dancers in the US. Competitors will enter epic 1-on-1 battles, bringing improvisation to a new level. Unpredictable tunes, from mainstream hits to timeless classics, fire up the dance floor, allowing dancers to showcase their skills and wow the crowd!

Supported by an Arts Access grant from the Tennessee Arts Commission and ArtsMemphis, Crosstown Arts presents the premiere of the commissioned work by Evan Williams, "Crosstown Counterpoint" alongside Williams' earlier works "Bodies Upon the Gears", "Amber Waves", and Terry Riley's classic minimalist bop, "In C."

The Ukuleles in the Heartland series visits the Crosstown Concourse, featuring the Nashville-based Webb-Tigert Ukulele duo, Ray Cygrymus (veteran of Pittsburgh bands Maxwell Switch, Tangent, and the Ukuholicks), and Huntsville, Alabama, ukulele performer and teacher Kirk Jones (also known by his adorable stage alias/YouTube handle, “Orangutan Or Lion”).

HerView: Sears Memphis depicts women's labor in the 20th century department store and is based on locally sourced history.  Manos will ride on an original freight cart used in the Sears Memphis warehouse while typing on a vintage typewriter, and will hand routing slips to Crosstown Concourse visitors.  HerView is part of a larger project Manos is spearheading, Visualizing Women's Work, which confronts gender bias in monuments and other historical markers through novel forms of publicly visible women's history, including popup performances and webAR* animations.
