talented choreographers and dramatists. A stunning Princess
of Ceremonies, played by Kike Adedeji in a bouffant-skirted
gown graced with a pink wrap, pointed eyeglasses 50's chic,
and obligatory magic wand, introduced each piece with poetry
written by the composer. Ms. Adedeji also performed As
Almost Anyone, a theatrical beach piece. At the July 14 performance, As Almost Anyone was performed in collaboration with choreographer and dancer Mary Reid and Full Moon was performed by the Adolphe Sax Ensemble.
