The American Dance Guild Performance Festival
92nd Street Y
November 8-10
The American Dance Guild celebrates modern dance luminaries Lar Lubovitch, Marilyn Wood, and the late Remy Charlip in their annual Performance Festival. “It’s a kind of homecoming,” said Gloria McLean, President of the American Dance Guild. “The histories of the Guild and 92nd Street Y have been intertwined since the fifties when Lucile Nathanson, then head of the dance program, began holding conferences that sparked the formation of the Guild in 1956… We’ve named this year’s Festival ‘Cross-Pollination’ as a means to underscore that connection.”
Among the special presentations slated for this event are performances by soloist Margaret Beals, Anna Sokolow’s “Kaddish” danced by Deborah Zall, works by Isadora Duncan, presented by Catherine Gallant and Jeanne Bresciani, a reconstruction of Martha Graham’s Imperial Gesture by Graham dancer Kim Jones, plus works from 33 emerging to mid-career choreographers including Maya Dance Theatre from Singapore, Bill Evans, Tina Croll, Nai-Ni Chen Dance Company, and many more.
Each evening in the lobby, videos of works by the featured guest artists will be shown. On Friday at 7:30 there will be a special presentation by Celia Ipiotis, Executive Director and creator of Eye on Dance, featuring a conversation with Remy Charlip. Celia returns on Sunday evening at 5:00 to present an archival interview with Anna Sokolow and Sophie Maslow. Find out more ~www.americandanceguild.org
