The Joyce Theater
March 28 – April 2
For a third season, Stephen Petronio Company returns with Bloodlines featuring “…a rare opportunity for audiences to see significant works by postmodern instigators who have not only informed Petronio’s creative path, but also defined contemporary dance,” according to the release.  This year chamber works by Yvonne Rainer: Trio A with Flags (1966/1970), Chair-Pillow (1969) and Diagonal (1963); an excerpt from Steve Paxton’s Goldberg Variations (1986), and Anna Halprin’s 1999 solo The Courtesan and the Crone, performed by Petronio himself will be featured.  Rounding out the program is the world premiere of Petronio’s full-company work Untitled Touch, “…driven by the immediacy of physical contact, the emotional repercussions of skin-to-skin communication and the codes that shape this action,” with an original score by longtime collaborator Son Lux, notes the release.  Find out more here

Something to Watch ~ This Week

3/21/2017

0 Comments

 
Against a Hard Surface is a poetic, political dance theatre piece created by theatre director Amir Nizar Zuabi and choreographer Samar Haddad King exploring the long term effects of life under occupation, with an original score by Muqata’a.

A Yaa Samar! Dance Theatre production, Against a Hard Surface will premiere April 29 at the Ramallah Contemporary Dance Festival. Catch a sneak peek of the performance in our trailer!

VIMEO

Darwin’s theory of evolution explains how organisms adapt to the challenges of a specific habitat. In isolated environments this process is accelerated, as organisms develop skills key for survival. The separation wall cutting off Palestinians from the rest of the world has created such an isolated habitat. In this evening length piece, natural evolution of millions of years is fast-forwarded in a high-pressure ecosystem due unremitting political strain and violence. Against a Hard Surface investigates the mechanisms for survival within a testing ground of human resilience.

Against a Hard Surface is a production of Yaa Samar! Dance Theatre and supported by the A.M Qattan Foundation/ The Qattan Grant for Performing Arts 2016 and Covillo Lynch Foundation, and co-produced by Sareyyet Ramallah in partnership with the Palestinian Museum.
