​Juliette Mapp
Danspace Project
May 12 - 21
Known for creating work with generations younger and older, for her first work with peers, dancers Levi Gonzalez, Jimena Paz, and Kayvon Pourazar, Mapp offers, "In Luxury Rentals, we are embracing who we are at this moment in time."  “Luxury Rentals is created from a dancer's perspective. The work weaves together the relationships that are built through-and around-dancing with stories that reflect the effects of New York City's changing landscape, including physical and economic displacement...The stories of Luxury Rentals are culled from life outside the studio, and the dancing is an expression of what lives inside the studio-in movement and in the stillness of watching, listening, reading, and resting. The work celebrates the fleeting luxury of life and dance-a luxury that can live and die in a moment,” notes the release.  Find out more here
