Rhythm Industry Review, Saturday, March 31, 7pm-10pm
The quarterly Rhythm Industry Performance Factory Review is part mixer, part recital, part showcase...the Reviews are an opportunity to interact informally with audiences, show works in progress, provide students with an opportunity to show off what they've learned, and to get feedback. It's also a way all the groups work together to raise funds to support the studio, to broaden audience, attract new students and supporters. Of the suggested $15 donation for admission, we use 90% to help pay the mortgage. 10% goes to a project that one of the participating groups is involved in, such as the All Souls Procession or the Tucson Carnaval Spring Festival.
