American Ballet Theatre announced today the cancellation of its 2021 Season at the Metropolitan Opera House. The season, originally planned for June and July of 2021, has been cancelled due to health and safety concerns related to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and restrictions on non-essential gatherings.

Aileen Passloff - passing on November 3rd

PictureAileen Passloff
From Audrey Ross:

Dear Friends:   

It is with great sadness that I announce the passing of Aileen Passloff, dancer/choreographer/teacher and inspiration to generations of dancers.  Aileen passed away Tuesday, November 3rd, at 10:45 PM after a brave five-year battle with breast cancer.  Arthur Aviles and Charlotte Hendrickson, two of Aileen's longtime friends and company members, were with her when she died.

Born in the Bronx, October 21, 1931, Aileen never remembered a time when she didn't dance.  She attended SAB, where she met James Waring, and made her debut in Waring's company in 1945 at the age of 14.  The performance took place at the 92nd Street Y, site of Aileen's last performance in January 2019.  She danced with Remy Charlip, Katherine Litz, Toby Armour, and acted in the plays of Irene Fornes.  She had her own company in NYC for 10 years and headed the dance department at Bard College for 26 years where, among her many remarkable students, were Arthur Aviles, Liz Prince, Dusan Tynek, Anne Bogart, David Parker, and Charlotte Hendrickson.  She was awarded a post-doctoral Fulbright in Spanish dance and taught performance at the Conservatory of Dance in Madrid.   Because much of her work was shown at Judson Church, she considered that venue her artistic home, and was an artist-in-residence there.  All her life, Aileen was passionate about dancing and teaching.

Catherine Tharin, Aileen's friend and former student, remarked that "Aileen was truly amazing throughout because she was choreographing and teaching up to a few weeks before succumbing.  She never complained.  She and I spoke every week during covid - lengthy conversations about art, politics, people.  She barely mentioned what she was going through, but remained upbeat and wanted to shift the conversation away from her health.  She always spoke about how grateful she was for her life as an artist.  She always looked for and acknowledged beauty."

A memorial celebration is being planned and will be announced at a later date.

Alice Shepard & Kinetic Light announce Fellows

PictureImage Description: A light-skinned Asian-American engineer with short black hair leans to the side and grins at the camera from behind a pair of purple-rimmed glasses. She is wearing two sleeveless tops: a bright pink one layered atop a black one patterned with splashes and dots of color. She “doesn’t look deaf,” whatever that means. The background is an orange-painted brick wall. A white woman with shoulder-length brown hair smiles at the camera. She wears a green v-neck shirt. Background is a white wall. The photos appear in white circles, with a purple background and white diagonal lines.
We are so pleased to introduce our new Kinetic Light Fellows: Shoshana Freund, an emerging lighting designer, and Mel Chua, a hacker, engineer, scholar, and multimodal polyglot. Shoshana and Mel will be mentored by Kinetic Light artists Michael Maag and Laurel Lawson, respectively. 

This pilot fellowship program is focused on advancing the disability arts and culture movement. It enables disabled artists, designers, technologists, and/or arts administrators to practice their craft alongside Kinetic Light artists, to develop their work in the context of disability art, and to support our groundbreaking work.

For the pilot program, Fellows were accepted through a nomination process. Future programs will be open, for application, to a broad range of artistic and technical disciplines. This fellowship is not designed for dancers or actors in an onstage capacity. Stay tuned for future program opportunities and please join us in enthusiastically welcoming Shoshana and Mel!
