Welcome to On the Radar, where we preview up-and-coming arts events to mark your calendar for. This weekend brings a slew of activities, including a modern dance performance and the AIDS Walk to raise funds and awareness for ASAP, which provides services to locals living with HIV and AIDS.
The Moving Current Dance Collective – among the southeast’s most acclaimed modern dance companies – opens the fall season with a collection of interpretive contemporary dances. Kristen O'Neal restages "Remember," about a husband’s unwavering loyalty to his wife, who is dying of Alzheimer’s disease, and Cindy Hennessy explores symbiotic relationships in "Opposites Attract," which begs the question — are human relationships ever anything but competitive? Many more talented directors, choreographers and dancers also contribute to this stunning tribute to the power of dance. Visit movingcurrent.com for more info. Sept. 11-13, 8 p.m. Fri.-Sat., 2 p.m. Sun. USF College of Visual & Performing Arts Theatre I, 4202 E. Fowler Ave., Tampa, $15, $10 USF students and faculty, 813-974-2323. — Franki Weddington
