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. For more information and to purchase call 212-242-0800 or visit

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.

It's a down-home atmosphere with group meals, Bar-B-Qs and bonfires for both the artists and the audience are offered.
