Now this is an idea whose time has come. Barefoot Collective and MLKBallet perform in-process works for a small audience in a relaxed atmosphere, where the dancers show the audience how the dance was created. For audience members, this is an opportunity to experience live theater and get a rare glimpse into the creative process of artists in all types of performing arts. After the performance, the audience can ask questions and offer feedback.

W.I.P. (WORKS IN PROGRESS), 7:30 p.m., Urban Grace Studio, 901 Market St., Tacoma, $5, april@barefootcollective.org
