After Hours – Liss Fain Dance: Your Story Was This
An immersive performance installation integrates Fain’s choreography with three poems by Jane Hirshfield, embedded in an original score by Dan Wool. Fain’s work fuses modern dance’s forceful energy with the kinetic precision of ballet. Q&A with Fain and Hirshfield follows performance. Fain, Hirshfield, and costume designer Mary Domenico are all Mill Valley residents.

What is After Hours?
Debuting in January 2011 in celebration of the Library’s centennial year, the ongoing “First Fridays” and “After Hours” series presents different narratives, ideas and presentations that an audience might otherwise not consider or experience. After Hours is for adults and high school students.

The Venue:
The Library’s Main Reading Room is transformed into a beautiful venue for After Hours events. Built in 1966, the Library is nestled among the redwoods in an award-winning building and reflects the diverse intellectual interests of the community.

The Experience:
Programs typically last 90 minutes (includes Q&A). After Hours features a wine reception before and after our program. Patrons enjoy the intimate atmosphere and ability to meet our presenters. Attendance ranges between 115 and 260 people per event.
