Though it is best known for its mainstage performances, the Performing Arts Society of Acadiana sees creating educational opportunities as an important part of its mission. PASA serves a big slice of Louisiana's musical history with BeauSoleil. Featuring a home-grown ensemble that is revered around the world, this performance offers students a glimpse at the hard work, research and knowledge that have combined to produce this great south Louisiana sound. Combine PASA's Backstage Pass study guides with Louisiana history resources, and this performance will be a success in your classroom, as well as at the Heymann Center. Diavolo is dance, but it's gymnastics, theater, physics and geometry all packed into a display of artistry that challenges our sense of bodies and motion and does so with an artist's sense of the beauty of timed movement to music.
Dancers fly through the air, interacting with fantastic sets with imaginative results.
