Things you don’t want to miss this week
Looks like there’s another big Arts & Entertainment week on deck for us in Durango. Here are some things not to miss:
1. Durango Independent Film Festival: Focus on Film
Various times and venues, for tickets and schedule, visit

For the past 15 years, the Durango Independent Film Festival has been bringing movies from all over the world to Durango – along with the people who make the movies. This year “Focus on Film” will once again offer up a schedule of cool films starting today and running through Sunday in various venues in downtown Durango. The fest also boasts a schedule of parties, meet-and-greets and Q&A panels.
2. Raven Narratives: “Firsts/Lasts” storytelling event

Everybody’s got a story to tell, and the bravest of us can get on stage and tell it. On Friday in Durango and Saturday in Cortez, check out the Raven Narratives curated storytelling event – “Firsts/Lasts.” Storytellers Bailey Carlson, Sue Vanden Brink Loweree, Daisy Perez, Ellen Shinkle, Kathy Forrest, Robin Brodsky, Kate Sutton and Angie R. Wingerd will share their true stories. Raven Narratives sell out pretty fast, so it’s a good idea to get your tickets early.

If you’re in the mood for a little dance theater, head up the hill to the Community Concert Hall at Fort Lewis College to check out Pilobolus Dance Theatre’s latest show, “Come to Your Senses.” The troupe is turning 50 and, according to its website, “since 1971, Pilobolus has tested the limits of human physicality to explore the beauty and the power of connected bodies. We continue to bring this tradition to global audiences through our post-disciplinary collaborations with some of the greatest influencers, thinkers and creators in the world.”
4. Viva the Good Life!
7 p.m. Friday and 2 p.m. Saturday, First United Methodist Church, 2917 Aspen Drive. Tickets: $20/$5 and are available online at

Now in its 50th season, DCS will bring everyone together at First United Methodist Church in Durango.
