The spirit of Charlie “Bird” Parker is about to land at SMC for a night of music and modern dance.

The Santa Monica College music department is presenting “Interior Flight: A Tribute to ‘Bird,’” a modern dance inspired by the music of Charlie “Bird” Parker.

“Interior Flight,” choreographed by Kindra Windish, is a series of dances inspired by Parker’s music that explores how memory shapes and dictates our relationships. The program is presented by the New York City Co-op Dance Ensemble.

“Flight” features Brent Dodson on trumpet, masks by Lance Windish and dancers Thania Acaron, Maria Brenza and Jennifer Twilley.
