* 1/2 lb ricotta
* 4 eggs (I used some from Elwood Stock Farm)

JON MUELLER/JIM SCHOENBECKER w/THREE LEGGED RACE @ Underlying Themes, 110 S. Upper
8pm, all ages, $3
Part of the Outside the Spotlight jazz and improvised music series.
Jon Mueller was here as part of the series last fall with Jack Wright and Carol Genetti (at Firebird Studio). He's a percussionist/electronicist from Milwaukee who studied jazz with the late Hal Russell and has played with a who's who of modern improvising musicians including Wright, Genetti, Fred Lonberg-Holm, Bhob Rainey, and Lionel Marchetti. Jim Schoenecker his partner in crime for this show is an electronic composer and improviser. For those who saw Mueller's performance with Wright and Genetti, you know this will be one of the more subtle shows in the series – as much about the silence between sounds as the sounds themselves (a far cry from the Outside the Spotlight blowout with Mandarin Movie, Blastocyst and Sharks With Wings a couple weeks ago).
Three Legged Race is the solo analog electronics project of our friend Robert Beatty. Many of you will recognize him as a member of the groups Hair Police and Eyes and Arms of Smoke. His TLR performance at the February Lexington Underground Performing Arts Series show was strikingly beautiful. If you’re playing along at home, grab your copy of "Know Your Own" vol.2, click forward to track 27, hit play. It's lovely stuff.

Infusion Tribal Dance-A-Go-Go featuring RACHEL BRICE, RAKADU GYPSY, MIRA BETZ, LIZ STRONG, and more
@ The Dame – late, doors open at 10pm, ages 21+, $15
The Perfect Banquet
The perfect banquet....devoured....
Transpiring downtown, Saturday, June 3rd, is the InFusion Tribal Dance-a-Go-Go: a feast for the senses to nourish the ceaseless urban bite. Unfold and be lost in dance, music, silk, and smokescreen.
Sample the local faire:
The knockout, improvisational narrative of Rakadu Gypsy Dance Ensemble in collaboration with artists Aminata Baruti, Chandra Nair, and Pezhead.
Featuring the delicious addition of phenomenal west coast talent: Mira Betz, Liz Strong, and Rachel Brice...
Mira Betz, of San Francisco, has been touring nationally with workshops and performances. Her background ranges from traditional to contemporary, and her performances reveal the dialogue and emotion of history and the human element.
Liz Strong, also from San Francisco, has studied Middle Eastern and Turkish Roman dance forms. She travels internationally to perform and teach. Her personal style is rich in imagery, passion, and energy and able to bring your heart forefront for reckoning.
Rachel Brice, also, also of San Francisco, is the director of The Indigo, a tribal fusion troupe from the bay area, which has become an international success. She is one of the most infamous interpretive artists in the tribal fusion style, and travels internationally sharing said art form. Her amazing stage presence is seeded with intricate body articulations, sanguineous movement, and powerful momentum.
Such decadence should not to be missed...
Encounter this event at The Dame, 156 West Main Street in downtown Lexington. BYOPillow for lounge seating. Doors open at 10 p.m. $15 cover.
Tickets may be purchased at the door or in advance through paypal. For information: info@meccadance.com
