 6-27\n\nPsophonia Dance Company applies the pressure in their newest produ
 ction Squeeze\, June 26\, 2009 at 8:00 pm and June 27\, 2009 at 8pm with a
 n encore performance at 10pm at Barnevelder Movement Arts Complex. In a cu
 lture of consumerism marked by a recession\, Squeeze questions the ever-ti
 ghtening pressure of a society marked by a desire for more.\nSqueeze is ev
 erybody's story rolled into a saucy little carnival show. It's the little 
 inner voice of the choices we've made about money. If it feels good do it\
 ; get it\; buy it. Everybody says so. Satisfy your deepest desires (on cre
 dit) with immediate gratification. Don't just look- touch\, take. Get that
  house\, buy that car\, fill your life with stuff. Do it all with music\, 
 song and dancing showgirls. Let Psophonia take you away for an hour. In th
 e world of credit\, you can buy now and pay later and later and later.\nHo
 w did America become a consuming society rather than a producing society? 
 How were we so easily swayed into the consumer mindset? Most importantly\,
  how do we discover what we truly need and discard the excess? How do we r
 ecognize a necessity from a mere want?\nCo-Artistic Director\, Sophia L. T
 orres comments\, &ldquo\;We are all feeling the pressure\, sweating a bit 
 under the hot lamp. Everyone is stretched to their limits and people are w
 ound up in knots. It's no wonder with huge market swings\, fluctuating gas
  prices and job uncertainty. Squeeze is my response to these pressures.&rd
 quo\;\nSet as a vaudeville show\, Squeeze lures the audience into the land
  of illusion with show girls and debutants. Squeeze reveals characters try
 ing to stay afloat as the rug is yanked out from underneath their feet. An
  intimate interaction\, Squeeze invites the audience to lean in and take a
  closer look. So why not sink into your seat and enjoy a slightly disturbi
 ng but highly seductive world of money where nothing is guaranteed.\nThe g
 ritty performance will be played by Scarlett Barnes\, Stephanie Beall\, Na
 phtali Beyleveld\, Sophia L. Torres\, Tapley Whaley and Toni Valle as the 
 ringmaster. Music compiled and composed by Jeremy DiMatteo.\nShow times ar
