The Martha’s Vineyard Public Charter School is hosting a True Colors Ball at the Yard on Friday, May 26.

H.T. Chen and Dancers are performing at The Yard in Chilmark on Friday, May 19 at 6:30 p.m.

For The Yard’s final off-season show, held on April 29, the staff did not have to look too far afield to find their dancers.

Inuit singer Tanya Tagaq’s vocal arsenal includes hissing, crooning, goblin-like muttering and sled-dog howls.

When Tanya Tagaq sings it is as if the earth itself as joined the conversation. She brings her talents to the Vineyard next Monday for one night only.

Le Patin Libre perform on skates, attacking the ice like tap dancers, tumbling like break dancers or rising on their toes with their blades digging into the surface.

Back by popular demand, Le Patin Libre, the ice skating dance company from Montreal, Canada, returns to the MV Ice Arena on Feb. 25, with shows at 11 a.m. and 7 p.m.

The Bang Group is back and, really, it’s no longer Christmas without them.

This week is busy one at The Yard in Chilmark. On Saturday, Sept. 3, the final DanceTheYard performance takes place at 6:30 p.m.

Performing artists come to the Vineyard to refresh themselves creatively and develop new work, and Island audiences see exciting performances in return: new plays, musicals and even ice-skating dancers from Canada.
