NEW YORK’S PREMIER DANCE THEATER NAMED
NYC & COMPANY CULTURE SPOT FOR JULY
The A.O. Movement Collective
presents,
90 ways to Wake from drowning
July 30-31 @ 8pm
Joyce SoHo
The A.O. Movement Collective
will present its debut NYC Season with the
evening-length world premiere of "90
ways to Wake from drowning" at Joyce
SoHo on July 30-31 at 8pm. A forcefully imaginative
journey, this piece signifies choreographer
Sarah A.O. Rosner’s arrival to the downtown
dance scene as one of the community’s
important emerging artists."Wake"
bends epic storytelling into an immediate
visceral experience set amidst a visual wonderland
of car crashes and heavy slow dances. Mixing
contact partnering, modern releasing, and
detailed gestures with a choreographic approach
reminiscent of the lush explosions of action-movies,
the piece is a love letter penned in the aesthetics
of mess. As She struggles with Him, navigating
devolving memories and shifting realities,
we explore how effort transcends, time bends,
and weight remembers.
Tickets $15 general admission
with $12 for students/seniors and with a DanceNYC’s
DancePass. They can be purchased by calling
Joyce Charge at 212-242-0800 or at www.joyce.org.

The Joyce
Four gifted female choreographers
make their Joyce debuts in one week of alternating
programs designed to showcase the talents
of these young artists. Camille A. Brown,
known to audiences from the work she has created
for Urban Bush Women and Alvin Aliey American
Dance Theater, now comes to The Joyce with
her own ensemble. Joining Brown is Andrea
Miller, whose company, Gallim Dance, has exploded
onto the national dance scene with technical
virtuosity and strikingly physical works.
In an alternate program, Kate Weare Company
and Monica Bill Barnes & Company share
the stage in an evening of dance that pairs
Barnes’ charmingly rickety, beautifully
tawdry, and profoundly good-hearted pieces
with Weare’s wildly ferocious, startling,
and highly sensuous work. All four artists
take the stage for an afternoon performance
on Saturday, August 14.
Tickets $39; $25; $19; $10.

Joyce Theater
Camille A. Brown and Andrea Miller and Monica
Bill Barnes and Kate Weare present two programs
from August 9-14, 2010 at The Joyce Theater.
175 Eighth Avenue, NYC. Ms. Brown’s
new ensemble and Ms. Miller’s company
Gallim Dance share the first program. The
second program features the Kate Weare Company
and Monica Bill Barnes & Company. Tickets
start at $10 and are available at 212-242-0800
or www.joyce.org. Kate Weare Company marks
its debut season at The Joyce Theater with
the World Premiere of "Bright Land",
a series of short, interlaced dances set to
a score of old time music played live by The
Crooked Jades, described as the finest string
band in America by "The Boston Herald".
Featuring a quartet of dancers and a trio
of extraordinary musicians, "Bright Land"
explores the cyclical nature of human experiences
- kinship, belief, suffering, love - through
piercing, powerful choreography and fiery,
soulful live music. Lighting design by Brian
Jones. Costume design by Sarah Cubbage. Monica
Bill Barnes presents the New York Premiere
of "mostly fanfare", as well as
repertory work. "mostly fanfare"
explores the nature of performance and presentation,
in particular how costume – in life
as well as in art – affects an individual’s
assumption of identity. Costumed in feathered
headdresses, the dancers’ movement will
juxtapose the elegant with the awkward. Repertory
work will include dances that blend nuanced
theatricality and irreverent humor. Barnes
intends for audiences to identify and empathize
with her performers, creating distinctive
roles that are often warm-hearted portrayals
of flawed characters. Company members Monica
Bill Barnes, Anna Bass, Charlotte Bydwell
and Celia Rowlson-Hall combine deadpan comedy
and surprising incongruity with space-devouring
choreography to create an arena of interaction
and serious fun. Lighting design by Jane Cox.
Costume and set design by Kelly Hanson. On
Saturday, August 14 at 2pm, all four choreographers
will present a family-friendly program.
