LABCO dance represents a company of experienced professional dancers and choreographers with a collaborative spirit living in Pittsburgh. Providing performances, professional classes, and outreach programs, LABCO has become an integral part of the Pittsburgh arts community.
LABCO was established as an initiative of the Dance Alloy in September 1996. As of May 1999, LABCO was recognized as a non-profit 501(c)3 organization. After several years of functioning under a collective philosophy, LABCO operated with a sole artistic director, Gwen Hunter Ritchie from 2003-2009. Now LABCO has returned to it's roots. Company members Kelley Krepin DeFade and Gretchen Moore along with Meredyth Casey Smaretsky and Stephanie Thiel took over the company to return it to it's collective vision. This ever-evolving company has become a source of great excitement and inspiration for members of Pittsburgh's artistic community. LABCO has long explored cross disciplinary collaborations with leading artists in Pittsburgh. With renewed vigor, LABCO will increase its efforts to seek out and explore creative interactions and projects with a host of artists from many disciplines... The Movement has begun.
LABCO's company members are both well established and emerging dancers, choreographers, and performance artists who have come together in the Pittsburgh area, bringing with them varied movement backgrounds. LABCO members have performed in New York, Virginia, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, California, and Europe. The artistic director, with the assistance of the company members, oversees classes, educational residencies, workshops, lecture demonstrations to universities, public schools, art festivals, and performances throughout Pittsburgh and other cities.
Labco Dance is included in the Pennsylvania Performing Arts on Tour Roster.
Funding may be available to support engagement in DC, DE, MD, NC, NJ, NY, OH, PA, VA, WV, and the US Virgin Islands.

Squonk Opera and the Lively Arts College of Fine Arts Performance Plus present Indiana County: The Opera.
Come celebrate Indiana County with a new installment in our ‘Hometown Series’, a show that has been called “noisy, colorful, funny, outrageous” by the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette and “a quirky, playful, music- and image-driven piece of performance art “ by the Tribune Review.
Our show is not exactly ‘opera’, but a multi-media live concert that weaves music with video projections, props and puppets. To see more of what we do, check out our website at http://www. squonkopera. org.
Indiana County: The Opera includes amazing Indiana based dance and choral groups, and lots of video interviews with Indiana County residents.
Friday, January 30 at 8:00 pm Fisher Auditorium IUP Performing Arts Center

What people have been whispering about is TRUE! Strange sightings… Unexplained phenomena. . . scientific anomalies… Squonk Opera will be responding to the cover-ups with… ASTRO - RAMA!
With 3 stories of scaffolding and a 40 ft radio telescope, Squonk Opera will take you on a wild visual and musical celebration of the universe and our place in it.
Part symphony, part cacophony, Astro-Rama dares to go where no multi-media/theater/performance group has gone before.
Rising in scissor lift platforms and cherry pickers, Squonk will compose a proud message from our species, power up and transmit.
Stand with us, and the truth will be revealed.
