FLUXspace, usually a venue for exciting and risk taking visual art work, will put itself in flux as a practice, performance, and movement space during DANCEmonth, with performances, dance classes, movie screenings, and other dance related activities scheduled throughout the month of February. Wednesday Night Programming The ever-popular free and fun WNP (Wednesday Night Programming) at FLUXspace will continue during DANCEmonth featuring a range of activities including lectures, movie screenings, and a potluck. FLUXluck, our monthly Pot Luck, scheduled on February 4 at 7:30 pm, will provide a casual atmosphere to enjoy a shared meal and will also feature a rehearsal for a FLUX staff-initiated dance piece to be performed at the first FLUXspace FUNDraiser later in the month.
