Le Boeuf Brothers
March 17 - 27, 2013
Various Bay Area locations
What do you get when you cross pollinate brainy jazz with Kafka? Well, you can find out when the Le Boeuf Brothers perform a musical adaptation of Kafka's "The Dream," a short story about a man who walks through a cemetery and find his own gravestone, at Kuumbwa on March 21st in their hometown of Santa Cruz.

The Disposable Film Festival
March 21 - 24, 2013
Various Bay Area locations
You don't have to be a big shot with a fancy camera to make art. The Disposable Film Festival proves this point with their roster of films that were all shot on smart phones, web cams, and point and shoot cameras. Their motto is film is too important to leave to the experts and we wholeheartedly agree! The festival runs from March 21st through 24th. For tickets and more information, visit disposablefilm.com.

Trisha Brown Dance Company
March 15, 2013
Zellerbach Hall on the Cal Berkeley campus
Known as the grande dame of the dance world and perhaps the most widely acclaimed choreographer to emerge from the postmodern era, Trisha Brown has certainly left her mark on modern dance and the Trisha Brown Dance Company is making a stop at UC Berkeley to showcase some of her later works on March 15th. For tickets and more information, visit calperfs.berkeley.edu.
Bang Data
March 16, 2013
The New Parish
Who needs to pick a favorite genre when acts like Bang Data roll a handful into one bangin' package? The group has made a name for itself by blending cumbia, jazz, hip hop, and rap into a bilingual mix and they plan to do just that at the New Parish in Oakland on March 16th. Dos Four, another Latin hip hop fusion band, are also on the bill. For tickets and more information, visit thenewparish.com.
