3001: A Baltimore Odyssey
March 13th & 14th
What is a community-based, alternative-venue performance troupe like Fluid Movement to do when the pools are closed, and water ballet, unwelcome?
Get sixty people to strap on their skates and take over the Hamden Rec. Center! Of course!
It is the return of FLUID MOVEMENT’s annual Roller Skating Ballet! And this year it’s called 3001: A Baltimore Odyssey!
The year is 3001, the place is Baltimore- sort of. As a futuristic underwater city in a bubble, Baltimore has gone through some dramatic changes while maintaining that unmistakable Baltimore charm. Witness the adventure as two hapless Baltimore City sanitation employees in an attitude ridden submarine awaken a surly, slumbering Cyclops who, with the help of some gold medal clones, send the workers into the uncharted waters of the Washington DC bubble. Will they ever make it home again?
Get ready to:
See the lighter side of Central Booking!
Simulate nudity!
Re-boot with our fearless motherboard as she overrides her directives!
Get “trashed” with the help of some local celebrities!
Where? Hampden’s Roosevelt Recreation Center, 1221W, 36th St, Baltimore, MD

Welcome the return of FLUID MOVEMENT’s occasional Roller Skating Ballet! And this year it’s called EASY ROLLER! A COURTROOM DRAMA on WHEELS.
Imagine a town where roller-skating is a crime, sunny days in the park depressingly sedentary, and Kevin Bacon is filing for copyright infringement!
It takes a special kind of person to overcome the condescending ways of an uptight judge in Intercourse PA, but DARCY DUTTLEHOFFER and her brand of ROLLER LOVE are more than up to the task. With a little help from the AMISH and her side-parted ponytail, she gets a backward town to take a good look at themselves and MAKE THAT CHANGE…on WHEELS!
SEE HOT, STEAMY JUSTICE ladled out…on WHEELS!
WITNESS a cautionary PSYCHEDELIC FREAKOUT…on WHEELS!
THRILL to the spectacle of 30 PEOPLE DOING THE ELECTRIC SLIDE…on WHEELS!
RELIVE YOUR ADOLESCENT RINK DREAMS …on WHEELS!
