General Ticket Prices are as follow:
General Admission $20

HEADS or TALES
“Fresh, imaginative…full of invention and wit…” Roslyn Sulcas, The New York Times
Jody Oberfelder: voted "Outstanding Choreographer" in the 2009 FringeNYC Festival
An eccentric retrospective celebrating the 20th Anniversary of Jody Oberfelder Dance Projects, this fairy tale-like journey, careens from the epic to mundane and operatic to ordinary with acrobatic physicality, emphasizing the connections and stories of our lives . Heads or Tales will not be a superhero blockbuster or a romantic comedy. However, the work, augmented with cameo appearances from an all-star cast of former company dancers, is an amalgam of the past and present weaving together a philosophical narrative. Dances to be re-visited include: excerpts from Oberfelder’s raucous “Head First” (1986)—a crash helmet dance, first presented as a solo at PS 122, the tender “Rock Me Mama” (1995)—danced by new mothers and their babies, along with original cast members and their now teenage children, including alumni Denise Roberts Hurlin with her ABT dancing daughter, Cate Hurlin. Also featured is the hilarious and perky “X-Cheerleaders” (1994), the fantastical “The Story Thus Far” (2002)—based on Grimm Fairy Tales, and clips of “Dido & Aeneas” (2008). Other bits from the past find their way on the stage. Guest performers Jenny Mendez, Edisa Weeks, Luke Gutgsell, Brandin Steffensen,, Malina Rauschenfels, and many others add zest to a core group of eight dancers: Brynne Billingsley, Aditi Dhruv, Elise Knudson, Rebekah Morin, Jody Oberfelder, Edward Rice, Jake Szczypek, and Carlton Ward. Lighting design by Kathy Kaufmann, costumes by Katrin Schnabl, and live music to be performed by Malina Rauschenfels, Tine Kindermann, Andrew Nolen, Kamala Sankarem, and Melody Fader.

For Marchland, Chicago-based choreographer Carrie Hanson collaborates with visual artist Fraser Taylor to create a new ensemble work about mark-making, endurance, and borders. Hanson, the artistic director and founder of The Seldoms, was inspired by Taylor's video, CREVICE, a frenetic animation and sound piece that he created by making minute drawings directly onto the surface of clear 16mm film, later capturing the projected film with digital video. Marchland combines video, sculpture, and costume design by Chicago fashion designer Lara Miller with idiosyncratic movement, mimicking the same flickering, erratic, and charged qualities of Taylor's video.

Beyond Gravity [Professional Performances]
AscenDance Project
|
|
Andy Schmeder, Lara Mercurio, Elena Cochran, Martha Hazel, Susan Owen, Ryan Gaunt and artistic director Isabel von Rittberg will be performing Beyond Gravity March 5, 6, 12 & 13 at 8 PM and March 14 at 3 PM. General Admission: $25 ($20 Sunday only), Students and Seniors: $20, Kids under 12: $10. For information contact: info@ascendanceproject.com
AscenDance Project was founded in January 2006 by German-born performance artist and mountaineer, Isabel von Rittberg. Her work explores the aesthetics of rock climbing with dancers performing on a vertical stage. Performing entirely without the use of ropes, their work exhibits strength and grace enhanced by the effects of gravity on the dancers and their ability to overcome it. Using a 24 ft long and 12 ft high climbing wall, AscenDance artists move through three dimensions, using time and space as inconsistent and unpredictable variables.
Von Rittberg’s aspiration is to create a sense of detachment and lightness, to offer a completely new stage perspective and to appeal to a collective appreciation of rhythm and movement.
Following their well-received world premier of Levitate at the San Francisco International Arts Festival 2008 on Union Square, AscenDance Project was invited to perform at the 2009 International Aerial Dance Festival in Boulder, Colorado. After two weeks of teaching dance-climb fusion to students from all over the country, their participation ended with two sold-out performances. Having created a local following through fundraisers and classes, choreographer von Rittberg is ready to contribute to the community which she is proud to be a part of.

Keigwin + Company [Professional Performances]
Keigwin + Company

KEIGWIN + COMPANY (K+C) announces their first solo week of performances at The Joyce Theater from March 16-21, 2010, including an untitled World Premiere. Tickets start at $10 and are available at www.joyce.org or by phone at 212-242-0800.
K+C’s 2010 season will include a World Premiere made possible by the Jerome Robbins New Essential Works (NEW) Program. The 20 minute work for six dancers will be set to Joseph Haydn’s “Symphony #6 in D Major.” The company will also perform "Runaway", with music by Jonathan Melville Pratt, originally commissioned by The Juilliard School in December 2008. "Runaway", accompanied by an electronic, percussive score, was initially set with 25 dancers dressed in sophisticated business suits and dresses inspired by the 1960’s. Re-staged for K+C’s season at The Joyce, "Runaway" will showcase 6 dancers performing contrasting and vigorous movement to a pulsating beat down a runway of light, forming and dissolving lines and shapes amid shadows, while sudden bursts of aggression and surprising contact create vibrant counterpoints. "Caffeinated "(2007), set to Philip Glass’ “Glasspiece #3” was initially commissioned by the Department of Dance at New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts. "Caffeinated" is a witty, hyper-kinetic response to the American coffee culture craze. Dancers speed through the space in intersecting lines and tight formations, each clutching, and sometimes led by, a coffee cup, their movements driven by Glass’ increasingly hurried tempo to create a frenzied scene. "Mattress Suite" (2004) is a compilation of seven short dances set to music from opera to pop, exploring the various facets of human sexuality and the yearning for love.
Dancers: Matthew Baker, Ashley Browne, Aaron Carr, Kristina Hanna, Liz Riga, and Ryoji Sasamoto. Lighting Design by Burke Wilmore.

Yokoshi and Seyama dare to face boundaries of different training, cultural code and social hierarchy yet simultaneously desire to cherish the forms and beauty of universal language of dance.
Tyler Tyler features the oldest disciple and member of Seyama Dance Family, Kayo Seyama; a young Kabuki actor, Kuniya Sawamura; and an actor from the Bungakuza Theater Company, Asaji Naoki. In the United States, Yokoshi collaborates with American contemporary dancers Julie Alexander and Kayvon Pourazar, and musician Steven Reker who toured the world as a guitarist, singer and dancer with Everything that Happens will Happen Today, a musical performance composed by David Byrne and Brian Eno. Tyler Tyler is produced by MAPP International Productions.

“Science, Technology and Dance,” a series at The Dance Center of Columbia College Chicago exploring the ways choreographers are working with new technologies and scientific ideas, concludes with The Dance Center’s presentation of Wayne McGregor | Random Dance.
Entity, McGregor’s new evening-length work, explores the links between artificial intelligence and choreography in a staggering blend of bodies, lights, technology and film. Technically astonishing, the uncompromising, hard-hitting piece, which breaks boundaries and defies categorization, is set to a soundscape created by two of the hottest new musical talents working today: Jon Hopkins and Joby Talbot. Talbot (The Divine Comedy, White Stripes) has written a propulsive string quartet pitched against the sonic extremes of Hopkins’ (Massive Attack, Coldplay) electronic melody.
McGregor developed a fascination with the “technology of the body” and, inspired by the connection between the mental and the physical, he began to explore the concept of non-verbal and kinesthetic intelligence. While researching Entity, he consulted with an international think tank of individuals working in cognitive science, including psychology, neurosciences, linguistics, human-computer interaction and robotics. He writes, “What was immediately engaging in our dynamic conversations across our different fields of expertise was a mutual interest in the relationship between this connection of the brain and the body…Could exploring the brains of dancers and choreographers bear insight into human movement that was scientifically meaningful, and could this research provoke new stimuli for choreography?”
As part of Wayne McGregor | Random Dance’s residency, there will be a post-performance discussion with the artists on Thursday, March 18, and McGregor will give a pre-performance talk on Friday, March 19 at 7 p.m., free to ticket holders. McGregor will lead a free “movementPROCESS” workshop exploring his methods for creating choreography Saturday, March 20 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Dance Center. Random Associate Director Odette Hughes will lead a DanceMasters class Tuesday, March 16 at 6 p.m. at the Museum of Contemporary Art, 220 E. Chicago Ave.
Wayne McGregor | Random Dance was founded in 1992 and became the instrument upon which McGregor evolved his drastically fast and articulate choreographic style. The company became a byword for its radical approach to new technology—incorporating animation, digital film, 3D architecture, electronic sound and virtual dancers into the live choreography. Collaborations with leading multidisciplinary artists enriched the company’s futurist aesthetic and dramatically enlarged the possibilities of dance. In 2002, Wayne McGregor | Random Dance was invited to become Resident Company at Sadler’s Wells. Among the company’s groundbreaking projects have been webcasting live performances and exploring broadband (ATM) bi-directional performance where two companies perform simultaneously in different parts of the world. In 2003, McGregor was appointed Artist-in-Residence at the Department of Experimental Psychology, University of Cambridge. From this unique position, he and a select group of scientists conducted research into the relationship between dance and the mind, which has informed much of his subsequent work.

Kat Wildish Performing in New York Showcase
March 21, 2010 at 4pm & 7pm
The Ailey Citigroup Theater
What do a banker, a bartender, a business manager, a book author, and
a Broadwayactress all have in common? Ballet class!
Started as an opportunity for master ballet teacher Kat Wildish’s eclectic adult students from The Ailey Extension to perform classical ballet repertoire, the Kat Wildish Performing in New York Showcase brings all kinds of dancers to the stage. A popular event in the local dance scene, the showcases also include dancers taking open classes from studios around the city in a variety of techniques and from small professional troupes.
The March 2010 performances feature choreography staged by teachers Kat Wildish,
Bev Brown, Vic DiMonda, Robin Dunn, Pavaan Thimmaiah, and Shyrelle Kalilikane, in addition to guest artist appearances by 360* Full Circle Dance Company, BEings Dance Company, The Hip-Hop Dance Conservatory Repertory Company, Jazz Roots Dance Company, Yesid Lopez & Dancers, Ashley Carter, and Ursala Verduzco.
ABOUT PERFORMING IN NEW YORK SHOWCASES
Renowned ballet teacher Kat Wildish began producing performances for her adult
students at the Ailey Extension Program in February 2008 with only a 20-person studio
audience. The goal was to offer her adult students (ranging from former jazz dancers to
bankers to actresses, and every real person in between) who might otherwise not have the opportunity to perform, the chance to do so alongside professionals. Her open-level
repertory workshop of weekly rehearsals provides top-notch insight and coaching to
professional and beginner dancers alike. In an effort to give more dancers performing
opportunities, Kat includes students from other NYC classes and under-presented
professional troupes. Tickets often sell out far in advance. Now students are fortunate
enough to work in a true theatrical setting at The Ailey Citigroup Theater, a big
professional step for the students in achieving their dreams of performance.

AMY MARSHALL DANCE COMPANY celebrates the 10th Anniversary of the company, presenting three World Premieres at The Alvin Ailey Citigroup Theater, 405 W. 55th Street, NYC (at Ninth Avenue) from March 25-28, 2010, Thursday-Saturday at 8pm and Sunday at 3pm. Tickets are $25 (students and seniors $20) and are available at www.smarttix.com or by phone at 212-868-4444.
The evening begins with “English Suite” (2005), a classically-based dance full of sweet nuances, set to music by H.H. Parry. In five sections, the piece presents a joyous summer season blooming with the vibrancy of life. The World Premiere of “A Gift” features artistic director Amy Marshall dancing seven months pregnant with her third child, a daughter, expressing the purity and simplicity of the experience of growing a new life. In the World Premiere of “Riding the Purple Twilight”, audiences are swept on a dark, sensuous journey of a young couple racing full throttle towards fame and success, stopping at nothing to get ahead. “Askew” (2000) explores the dynamics of group relationships in social situations as six dancers split into two groups confronting one another as each vies to proves his loyalty and honor. Throughout the dance people shift from one side to the other, or one against all or two against each other, which so often occurs in everyday life. The first piece choreographed by Amy Marshall, “Excerpt from Two Duets and a Quartet” (2000), set to Bach Concerto for Violin and Orchestra No. 1 in A minor is a poignant tribute to lifelong love, as the duet reveals a couple’s ease, patience and peace with one another. The World Premiere of “Going for the Gold” is comic relief in four sections, taking audiences on the rigorous journey to an Olympic medal. The program is appropriate for children ages five and above.
Dancers: Amy Marshall, Chad Levy, Natasha Czarniewy, Aileen Roehl, Alexandra Karigan, Louis Acquisto, Jared Wootan, Laura Halzack (guest artist courtesy of Paul Taylor Dance Company), James Samson (guest artist courtesy of Paul Taylor Dance Company).

In a time of distraction, voyeurism and over stimulation, how do we experience authentic connection? Faye Driscoll investigates the physical and theatrical narratives that drive our misplaced need to be seen. From creating facades to seeking the divine to committing violent acts and falling in love, There is so much mad in me looks into the ways we fail, succeed, and get lost in the chase for true connection.

CounterPULSE Winter 2010 Artists in Residence: Kendra Kimbrough Barnes, José Navarrete & Violeta Luna [Professional Performances]

CounterPULSE's Winter 2010 Artists In Residence present new work examining water privatization and the effects of incarceration on families in a double bill.
Kendra Kimbrough Barnes
Home is That Way?
Kendra Kimbrough Barnes creates an impassioned dance piece about a family dealing with incarceration. When a son/ a brother loses an idea of where home is (literally and figuratively) after being in the prison system, this leads to retracing steps. Told in four chapters, Home is That Way? is a dance drama that that recalls the innocence, genius, tragedy, and rebirth of an imaginative boy.
Jose Navarrete and Violeta Luna
New Rituals for a Desperate Era
New Rituals for a Desperate Era reinterprets ancient Mexican mythology and iconography to address pressing ecological issues around water rights and shortages. Drawing from the poetry and didactic power of pre-Hispanic myths, it constructs a compelling discourse on the depletion of our natural resources, in a production that combines contemporary dance, performance art, new music composition, visual art installation, and video.

WHERE AND WHEN:
April 16 to May 2, 2010
La MaMa E.T.C. (First Floor Theater), 74A East Fourth Street
(Presented by La MaMa E.T.C. and Yara Arts Group)
Thur-Sat at 8:00; Sun at 2:30.
$18; Box Office (212) 475-7710; www.lamama.org
Yara Arts Group will summon ancient epics and rituals from Ukraine and Kyrgyzstan for "Scythian Stones," an original, experimental World Music Theater piece with choreography, which will presented by La MaMa E.T.C. from April 16 to May 2. The work, created by Virlana Tkacz, features famed Ukrainian singer Nina Matvienko, her daughter Tonia and artists from Kyrgyzstan.
"Scythian Stones" constructs parallel journeys for two young women, from village life and nomadic tradition into the city. Their separate journeys become epic descents into the Great Below: the modern global desert where songs, skills and languages vanish, leaving behind only mute markers like the Scythian Stones found today throughout the grasslands of Ukraine and Central Asia. The production, staged by Virlana Tkacz and Watoku Ueno, will feature traditional music from Ukraine and Kyrgyzstan as well as modern music, design and movement. Interweaving performances in Ukrainian, Kyrgyz and English, "Scythian Stones" will be completely accessible to American audiences.
Yara Arts Group has made multiple trips to both Ukraine and Kyrgyzstan to create interdisciplinary dramatic pieces based on regional epics. This piece will be developed in Kiev from March 5 to 27, after which the company will return to NYC and rehearse here with Yara artists.
"Scythian Stones" incorporates traditional songs from Ukraine and Kyrgyzstan into the structure of an ancient Sumerian epic about the Descent of Inanna (perhaps the oldest piece of literature on Earth, dating from 2000 BCE, about a goddess who goes to the Great Below). Virlana Tkacz says, "Epics are usually male stories about growing up, but not this one. We wanted to do an epic story about a woman, and examine how quickly so many cultures are disappearing today. The piece imagines an alternative ending, linking the past with a future in which poetry would carry the familial into the cosmos."
