Grupo de Rua
BAM
October 31—November 2

The 10 male dancers of Brazil’s Grupo de Rua makes their BAM debut with Bruno Beltrão’s street dance, Inoah where the dancers
“…explore urban life at the interface between encounter and confrontation, aggression and exuberance, animosity, bondedness, and common ground. The dancers occupy the mostly dark space with whirling movements, fast kicks, high jumps, and somersaults. Named for a city in Brazil, Inoah is a call for freedom of movement and a creative indictment against its restriction,” according to the release.  Find out more here

APPLICATIONS NOW OPEN!

About The WOCA Leadership Through Mentorship Program
This year the Women of Color in the Arts (WOCA) Leadership Through Mentorship Program (LTM) initiative celebrates its FIFTH anniversary! The LTM program pairs emerging and mid-level administrators with more seasoned leaders with the explicit purpose of cultivating long-term professional investment and self-sustainability for women of color in the performing arts field. A first of its kind, it is significant to note that this program is designed for women of color, by women of color. This leadership training program is exclusively aimed at cultivating self-identified arts leaders* of color, addressing their specific needs as often marginalized people in the field.
 
*One of WOCA’s core philosophies is centered upon the premise that all women are leaders – no matter their station, position, role, or title.

Announcing STREB's New Executive Director - Christine Chen

10/31/2019

FROM THE FOLKS AT SLAM (Christine Chen):

Dear STREB Fans, Families and Friends,


I am extremely honored to be taking the reins as STREB's new executive director, a position I started in late August. In many ways, I feel like I've returned home after spending time leading teams and programs at other arts and cultural organizations, most recently the 92nd Street Y.

STREB has been an inspiration and empowering force in my life over the last few decades - as an audience member, Action Hero, educator, former board member, and as a student - with my husband and son - at the trapeze academy. This fall has been an incredibly exciting time for the company, full of premieres and commissions that took us abroad to Paris, Abu Dhabi and New Jersey, and I've loved seeing our home space at SLAM full of energy and action as all of our classes get started for the season.

I hope you'll join us for our special event on October 28 and at our Home Season which kicks off in November. Thank you for being involved in this exciting organization and I look forward to getting to know you all more!

Sincerely
Christine
