‘Writing About Music/Dancing About Architecture’

March 3 to 6

There’s an old, famous saying that “writing about music is like dancing about architecture.” In other words, it’s really hard to use one form of art to describe another. But dammit if Danceworks isn’t going to try with this media-blending program. The company will perform works guided by “dance fiction” — haikus written by company and community members that form scaffolding and inspiration for choreography.

March 3 to 6 at Next Act Theatre, Milwaukee. $16 to $27. www.danceworksmke.org.
