The Performance & Time Arts series is Cincinnati's longest-running performance art series. It celebrates the time-based arts such as dance, performance, music, and poetry and combinations and permutations thereof. Presented in Contemporary Dance Theater's historic College Hill Town Hall performance space, PTA provides a forum for expression to artists working in experimental, time-based media. The series presents new work by talented, creative and original local and regional artists. PTA can be surprising, challenging, thought-provoking or (fill in the blank), but it always leaves the mainstream behind.
