If you have been meaning to catch a live performance close to home, tonight is your last chance to see this one.

"Parallax," the faculty and guest dance concert at Cal State Dominguez Hills, wraps up its run on Saturday, November 14.

The final performance is set for 7 p.m. at the University Theatre on the CSUDH campus, 1000 E. Victoria Street in Carson, according to the university.

The concert opened Thursday and also had a 1 p.m. matinee today.

What the show is about

The university describes the program as an evening of contemporary dance built around a simple idea: what you see depends on where you are standing.

The title comes from the way an object can appear to shift when it is viewed from different positions.

The choreographers use that idea to look at how perspective shapes understanding.

It is the kind of theme that tends to stick with you on the drive home.

Who is behind it

The concert is under the artistic direction of CSUDH faculty members Chelsea Asman and Cihtli Ocampo.

It features choreography by the university's dance faculty along with guest artists Fernando Carrillo and David Bernal-Fuentes.

Guest performers Naomi Christenson and Brianna Hall are also part of the program.

Dancers from Rio Hondo College join the production as well.

Tickets and parking

General admission is $20, the university says.

A discounted $12 ticket is listed for students, and the event listing also extends that price to seniors and alumni.

Tickets are sold through the university's theatre ticket page at csudh.edu/theatre/tickets.

Parking on campus requires a permit, which costs $10 and is sold at kiosks near each lot.

Campus directions and a map are posted at csudh.edu/directions.

Since this is the closing performance, it is a good idea to check ticket availability before you leave the house.

Questions can go to the CSUDH Performing Arts Department at (310) 243-3589 or PerformingArts@csudh.edu.

A night out without leaving town

For Carson residents, the show is a chance to see contemporary dance on a full stage without getting on the freeway.

Tonight's curtain comes on a busy Saturday in town, with boxing at Dignity Health Sports Park and Toros basketball also on the schedule.

If dance is more your speed than a jab or a jump shot, the seats on Victoria Street are waiting.
