Their name – Ventana Ballet – references the Spanish word for “window,” which makes sense given this local contemporary dance company’s penchant for showing audiences new viewpoints on the art form. As such, you’ll find their Halloween offering quite “window”-opening. An immersive experience, Undead utilizes pro theatre and dance artists to create mature-audience-only style creatures and scares. Chills abound – literally, as they promise this year the venue has air-conditioning. Join the troupe at any of their performances from now until All Hallows Eve as show director AJ Garcia-Rameau puts on a real creep show. – James Scott
