About the Show Credits

Monica Bill Barnes & Company is a contemporary American dance company that brings dance where it does not belong. The company consists of a team of collaborators – Monica Bill Barnes (Artistic Director/Choreographer/Performer); Anna Bass (Associate Artistic Director/Performer); Robbie Saenz de Viteri (Creative Producing Director/Performer) and designers Kelly Hanson (Set/Costume) and Jane Cox (Lighting). The company creates and produces each work entirely from its own rulebook—dancing to radio interviews on the biggest stages in the world, hosting a weekly show in a crowded office party, or leading a choreographed exercise routine in an art museum. Together, this team creates the most unlikely experiences for every kind of audience. monicabillbarnes.com Happy Hour is supported, in part, by public funds from the NYC Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council, Mertz Gilmore Foundation, the National Endowment for the Arts, and Jody and John Arnold. Monica Bill Barnes & Company is supported by the NY State Council on the Arts with the support of Governor Andrew Cuomo and the NY State Legislature, Howard Gilman Foundation, and Emma Sheafer Charitable Trust. Happy Hour was developed during a residency at New York University, Tisch School of the Arts. Happy Hour would not be possible without the generous support of Gibney Dance Center, San Diego Dance Theater, Velocity Dance Center, SPACE at Ryder Farm and individual patrons.

MONICA BILL BARNES Artist Bios Monica Bill Barnes founded MBB&CO in 1997 with five solos that could be performed anywhere and one suitcase of costumes and props. Since then, her work has been performed in venues ranging from Upright Citizen’s Brigade to the BAM Opera House, and been presented in more than 75 cities throughout the US. Recent company projects include The Museum Workout, a guided exercise tour of art museums made in collaboration with the author/visual artist Maira Kalman; Happy Hour, an immersive office party turned dance show; Three Acts, Two Dancers, One Radio Host, a show that combines radio and dance in collaboration with Ira Glass; and One Night Only, the company’s award winning off-Broadway production that turns dance into a live sporting event.

Anna Bass has worked with MBB&CO for 15 years, performing all over the world on stages ranging from public fountains and comedy clubs to Carnegie Hall and the Sydney Opera House. She collaborated on all of the company’s current productions, and also served as Assistant Choreographer for productions at The Atlantic Theater, The Public Theater, and Yale Repertory Theater. Anna wears the grey suit in Happy Hour, the bronze dress in The Museum Workout, and her comfy jeans while managing many of the company’s day-to-day operations. She is proud and lucky to be a part of this team.

Robert Saenz de Viteri began working in theater as an audio script assistant to Anna Deveare Smith.

He has created performances and toured productions throughout the world with the Obie Award winning Nature Theater of Oklahoma. He has created, produced, and performed in Happy Hour and The Museum Workout with MBB&CO. Some of his other favorite projects include producing This American Life Episode 528, “The Radio Drama Episode” live on stage at BAM, directing Rachel Bonds’s Michael & Edie, and working in Norway to create The Spiritual Life of Modern America, based on the experiences of foreigners traveling in America today.

UtahPresents Jane Cox (Lighting Design) Jane Cox has designed with MBB&CO for more than a decade, and her collaboration with the company is central to her creative life. Recent theater includes Color Purple, Amelie, and Jitney (TONY nomination) on Broadway, Othello at NYTW, and Hamlet at the Barbican in London. Other designs include The Flick, The Ambassador, All The Way, and Machinal (TONY and Drama Desk nominations). Jane has a long-standing relationship with The Oregon Shakespeare Festival, and is the director of the Program in Theater at the Lewis Center for the Arts at Princeton University.

Kelly Hanson (Set/Costume Design) has worked with MBB&CO on every company show since she first met Monica in 2001. She is also a Production Designer for The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon, where she does approximately 220 live shows a year.

She has been nominated for an Emmy and an Art Department Guild award. Kelly was born in Bryan, TX and earned her MFA in set design at University of California, San Diego. She lives in Queens with her husband and two amazing kiddos, who support her more than they know.

Elizabeth Furman (Production Assistant) is a Brooklyn-based performance artist who creates worlds for distinct characters to inhabit. Along with her own work Elizabeth performs and collaborates with Liz Charky Dance, mollymingeyprojects, and Kayt MacMaster. She has shared work at Chez Bushwick, Chen Dance Center, Dixon Place, Movement Research, and most recently at the All Over Westbeth Site Specific Festival. Elizabeth is thrilled to be a part of the MBB&CO team as a production assistant, and truly enjoys traveling with them to share their work with new audiences.

JULIE FOWLIS• October 16

Libby Gardner Concert Hall With a career spanning ten years and four studio albums, Julie Fowlis has enchanted audiences around the world. It is little wonder that Disney Pixar tapped her to sing the theme songs for the award-winning animated film, “Brave,” set in the ancient highlands of Scotland. In an evening of traditional Gaelic stories and songs, Julie’s “crystalline” and “intoxicating” voice will take you on a journey through the rich traditions of her homeland.

TAYLOR MAC: “A 24-DECADE HISTORY OF POPULAR MUSIC (ABRIDGED)” • November 2

Kingsbury Hall Back by popular demand, the luminous Taylor Mac returns to Salt Lake decked and bedazzled in gloriously irreverent regalia for a night that is “startlingly unique…a must-see for anyone who wants to see a kinder, gentler society” (Huffington Post). The abridged version of Taylor’s transformative “A 24-Decade History of Popular Music” is a captivating, community-building experience that reflects our nation’s diverse and sometimes dysfunctional story in order to reinvigorate a distinctively American sense of possibility.

Told from the perspective of groups whose stories are often “forgot, dismissed, or buried,” the show highlights various musical styles and artistic voices ranging from murder ballads to disco, Walt Whitman to David Bowie and beyond.
