Now in its 11th year, Kaye Weinstein Gary’s “Yes, VirginiaDance” invitational built on Gary’s recent foray into theater and sought diverse dance artists from the state and beyond. Continuing her relationship with local actor-director Billy-Christopher Maupin, who collaborated on last season’s “The Words of Wendy Wasserstein,“ this year Gary presented a 10-minute play by Joan Ackermann, “A Great-Looking Boat.“ Gaye took on the role of Mrs. Carmichael (originally Mr. Carigianis), a woman born blind but possessed of vivid insight. Mrs. Carmichael has an encounter with Elaine Fink, a volunteer reader whose mangling of “The Odyssey” leads to insightful interactions—and the sharing of oversized cream puffs.

The Spring Gala performance of the Concert Ballet of Virginia, at their downtown home base in The Woman’s Club, ended on a high note Friday with a spirited performance of “American Saturday Night.“ Set to a medley of folk tunes and pop music, and with a predominantly Western flair, the ballet also features a down-home set designed by company technical director deVeaux Riddick to go along with the gingham-splashed skirts and cowboy hats attire fashioned by costume designer Erline Eason.

The Latin Ballet of Virginia has a knack for telling stories—colorful, rhythmic, entertaining stories that delve into sometimes unpleasant aspects of history and that touch the heart. The latest production, “Son Corazon” (literally, “they are heart,“ or figuratively, heart strings), is a 2-hour history lesson and celebration of Afro-Cuban music and dance, with the emphasis on celebration.

Passion” is 75 minutes of uninterrupted kinetic illusion. Although the work, created by MOMIX founding member and artistic director Moses Pendleton in 1991, was inspired by Peter Gabriel’s sumptuous score for Martin Scorsese’s “The Last Temptation of Christ,“ it does not attempt to mimic the movie or even tell a story. Instead, Pendleton allows the movement, shapes and illusions to allude to a variety of multicultural pantheistic images. MOMIX’s final performance of “Passion” will be at 7:30 p.m. Thursday at University of Richmond’s Modlin Center. Tickets are $8-$38. Call (804) 289-8980 for information.
