If there weren’t already so many dance festivals in Charlotte, they’d probably call the upcoming Working With a festival, too. Five local choreographers are coming together under the Martha Connerton/Kinetic Works umbrella to present a themed program of new, innovative dances. All of the pieces in this collaboration will be blending dance with other art forms and technology.

Connerton’s “Las Hermanas del Corazon,” for example, will be a duet created by using a computer program, and Arlynn Zachary’s “Inside This Painted Mind” will be performed while Corina Brown creates a new abstract painting onstage – to be auctioned off after the three-performance run. Also joining the celebration are Bridget Morris, Jessica Stewart, and Camerin Watson. $10-$20. March 15-16, 8 p.m., March 17, 3 p.m. Actors Theatre of Charlotte, 650 E. Stonewall St. For more information, visit www.mckineticworks.org.
