Thalia Spanish Theatre
November 30 – December 16
Artistic Director Alberto Lopez Herrera and Co-Founder Juan Castaño presents “Navidad: A Mexican-American Christmas” exploring the beautiful holiday traditions of Mexico and the United States through music and dance. The traditions are experienced by a young person of Mexican immigrant parents growing up in New York City. From Aztec-inspired dance to Christmas carols, the youngster tries to bring their two worlds together. In a dream, they imagine the fusion of Mariachi music with Tchaikovsky, folk dance with ballet, and the wonderment of their two cultures. But a tempting character preaches the separation of these customs, and the youngster must choose. The company of 16 dancers and core of musicians led by Calpulli’s Music Director George Saenz bring to life timeless traditions and a world of holiday fantasy. The entirely new program tells a story with commissioned works by Mexican and Mexican-American guest choreographers with new musical arrangements and original works," notes the release.

FROM GERMAUL BARNES:

Dear Fellow Movers and Shakers,

I’m reaching out about an upcoming opportunity to dance with me! If this particular opportunity doesn’t fit your life or interests, please feel free to pass it along to anyone who may be interested. 
As many of you already know, my multifaceted work takes me all over the country and the world teaching, choreographing, speaking, staging works, designing, and creating. As I look to a fresh New Year, I aim to share my travels and work more often, so you know what I’m up to and so we can dream up more opportunities for collaboration, sharing, and growth. 


As a former member of Bill T. Jones/Arnie Zane Dance Company I am lucky enough to continue my work with Bill through re-staging of iconic works and, occasionally, the creation of new work. I am currently seeking dancers who identify as men of color to join me as one of the community members that I will bring in to work on the project with me and the Company. We are seeking dancers ages 16-70. For your participation with this project in January, we can offer you an honorarium of $100.  


PLEASE NOTE: if you cannot participate in this work but would be interested in future opportunities to dance together, please reach out. I am always interested in creating space for men of color to move, create, and communicate, together. 


The Bill T. Jones/Arnie Zane Company is creating a new work, titled Deep Blue Sea which will premiere in Spring 2020 in New York City.  Deep Blue Sea will explore the relationship of loneliness as it pertains to, or contrasts to group identity. The work will be divided into three sections: a solo for Bill T. Jones which evolves over time into an ensemble of ten performers (Bill T. Jones/Arnie Zane Company) that further expands into a community of one hundred people.”


Below, please find the rehearsal and showing dates. If you’re interested, please email me at germaulbarnes@gmail.com  with your Name, Contact Info, Age, CV, and confirmation that you can attend all required rehearsals.
