REDMOND PROFICIENCY ACADEMY PRESENTS: BOUNDLESS
6:00 pm
Tower Theatre
Redmond Proficiency Academy will present Boundless
A Live Event at the Tower Theater in Bend for and by Teenagers
The Redmond Proficiency Academy will host Boundless, a live event where teens showcase their talents, which includes magic, inspirational talks, music performances, and more, at the Tower Theatre in Bend, Oregon, on May 18, 2016, at 6:00 p.m.
This is the second event hosted by RPA and its student-run company, Caged Inspiration. It is a continuation of last year’s event, Limitless, which originated in a classroom at Redmond Proficiency Academy. “The challenge of the class was to create a legitimate business run by teenagers,” said RPA Advisor, Ken Streater. “They have succeeded at this, and then some.”
Daniel Raley, one of the student business managers and show producers, believes that “Boundless will be a great success, like last year’s event. We are looking for a few more presenters that will complete our already powerful lineup.”
The event was created by teens to inspire attendees and Central Oregon communities. “The goal is for people to walk away from this event energized to do something they love, something that can positively impact the rest of their community,” said student business manager, Faith Story. “Most of the performers will be teens who will share their talent, dreams, and ideas that aren’t displayed on a day to day basis.”
Streater said, “It’s an honor to be involved with this event again this year. Boundless promises to showcase Central Oregon high school students and I am proud to be a witness to the passion, power, and talent of teenagers.”

CHE MALAMBO DANCE COMPANY
7:30 pm
Tower Theatre
The Argentine based company, Che Malambo, presents a thrilling, percussive dance and music spectacle, the company’s work celebrates the unique South American cowboy tradition of the gaucho.The powerhouse all-male Argentinian dance company, Che Malambo, excites audiences with their percussive dance and music spectacle. Malambo, a dynamic blend of precision footwork, rhythmic stomping, drumming and song, is at the heart of the gaucho (South American cowboy) tradition and is now thrilling audiences around the world with this new production created by renowned choreographer Gilles Brinas. The Paris-based Brinas first learned about Malambo while researching traditional dances. He soon fell under its spell and travelled to the Pampas region of Argentina to engage with the gaucho and further his exploration of their traditions. Inspired by the dance and the talent of its exponents, Brinas created Che Malambo so as to share this powerful, passionate form with international audiences. Malambo began in the 17th century as competitive duels that tested skills of agility, strength and dexterity among the gaucho. It soon evolved to include its hallmark, zapeteo, the fast-paced footwork inspired by the rhythm of galloping horses. In addition to Zapateo, Malambo features the drumming of traditional Argentine bombos and whirling boleadoras, a throwing weapon made up of intertwined cords and weighted with stones. Since its premiere in Paris in 2007, Che Malambo has performed around the world, including a successful 2013 US tour. It returns to North America in fall 2015 for a limited engagement at New York City Centter’s sold-out Fall for Dance Series, followed by a coast-to-coast tour in the 2015/16 season.
