Sol Arts is back! 

VIXIN, Kristen Loree's one-woman show, is Sol Arts' first venture into co-producing with other venues around town, after the close of the Sol Arts Performance Space in December 2007. Sol Arts' home for VIXIN is q-Staff, the perfect intimate setting for what creator and performer Kristen Loree describes as "A One Person Acapella Opera in twenty-four personalities. Based on a true story."  Incorporating masks, dance, and unbelievable vocal aerobatics, VIXIN lets the audience witness Loree's amazing transformations from one character to another. Seven years in the making, VIXIN is reborn, exploring sexuality, gender and above all - love!
 
Kristen Loree is a native New Mexican who has been studying creativity, performance and vocology her entire life. She has performed locally and nationally on stage, in concert halls and in film. She directs plays for children and adults and spends her free time writing songs. Kristen has been teaching voice and performance techniques at UNM and privately for the past 13 years. She also works with the Santa Fe Opera in their Student Produced Opera Program. She is a founding member and Artistic Coordinator of Sol Arts.
 
Sol Arts' choice of q-Staff for this production is a natural one. Known for their intimate theatre and astonishingly original work, the people of q-Staff have been producing award-winning performances in their space on Central since 2004. VIXIN, with it's experimental structure and tone, will be right at home. Sol Arts opened its own space on Central Avenue in 2004, and after three years of critically-acclaimed work, shut its doors in December 2007.  However, the work goes on - VIXIN is just one example of the exciting projects Sol Arts has up its collective sleeve in the near-future.
 
VIXIN has four performances only: June 6, 7, 13, 14 at 8 pm. Saturday, June 7th is a special "Maintain the Afterglow" reception with the artist and other members of Sol Arts. There will be refreshments, live entertainment from Albuquerque's premiere drag troupe THE DOLLS, and a chance to catch up with the Sol Arts' folks and find out what is next for them. This is an opportunity to show your support for Sol Arts by purchasing a $20 ticket that includes the price of the 8 pm performance. Tickets for the performance alone are $12 on all four nights and available at the q-Staff box office. q-Staff is located at 4819 Central Ave. NE, 87108.Call Sol Arts at 244-0049 for reservations and other information.
