FRIDAY, MARCH 27 THROUGH SUNDAY, MARCH 29
Chunky Move is one leading modern dance troupe to emerge from Down Under. The Aussie company is known for its genre-stretching works that involve everything from light shows to impressionistic poses. But lest you think this is an avant-garde exercise, rest assured that they have a great sense of humor. I Want to Dance Better at Parties was inspired by men’s stories of their adventures in dancing, and the show features documentary-esque projections of the subjects as dancers enact their stories in rhythmic form. The Boston premiere is at the Institute of Contemporary Art (100 Northern Avenue, Boston, 617.478.3100). For tickets ($35), call World Music/ CRASHarts at 617.876.4275 or visit www.worldmusic.org.
