ReGroup Dance Presents: Evening TwoMarch 23rd&March 24th at 7:30pm Featuring works by: ReGroup Dance and guest choreographer Annie Malcolm will present an intimate program consisting of four pieces. Sophie’s contribution to the program questions the arbitrary data that identifies a human being, in turn making space for the performers to present themselves in other ways. Paula will perform a solo that articulates questions of how one risks change. She seeks to highlight the way in which we navigate the processes of letting go and moving on without losing our ability to recognize the non-negotiable “self”. Meg’s work focuses on the physical act of walking as an abstraction, and will include multimedia elements and original music. Annie’s piece, “Never Going Back Again”, is based on the solo “Weird Lunch”, which she performed in 2010 at the CSV Center in her grandmother’s trousseau. This series of performances, while grounded in its original mission, is the company’s first appearance before a New York audience. |

Chez Bushwick presents acclaimed French choreographer Myriam Gourfink's Dates/Time: November 14 & 15 / 7:30pm / Corbeau and Marine Tickets: $12 advance / $15 day of show Myriam Gourfink's unique work blends computer-choreography with yoga techniques, exploring micro-movements while challenging conventional notions of dance. In less than ten years Gourfink has become one of Europe's leading contemporary choreographers, known for work that requires extreme physical control and results in a strange and boundless beauty. Every movement, every look, every breath is meticulously pre-determined to the millimeter, enabling the dancer's body to move along a measured and fascinating path. Gourfink's work unfurls like a wave, a long vibration that echoes the music that accompanies it. About the performances: Corbeau In Corbeau ("Crow"), Gourfink draws upon the virtuosity of ballet while exploring the limits of slow micro-movements. This title of this solo for Gwenaëlle Vauthier, dancer at the Ballet de l'Opéra national of Paris is a play on the words "corps beau" (French for "beautiful body") with a nod to the overrepresentation of white birds in ballet, manifesting instead the black bird's equally graceful existence. "The idea is to base the choreography on the dancer's ability to elevate her legs, in order to focus on an area which is rarely accessible with contemporary dancers. I want to work on a dance playing on the extremely slow unfurling of the dancer's four limbs through space, thus imparting form to that space by embarking along subtle, unexpected directions, cre-ated by the projection of the dancer's body inside spherical volumes, and by accepting the 360 degrees of the circle as an arena of limitless sensorial possibilities." During most of the piece, the dancer supports herself with one leg, while extending the rest of her body into the surrounding environment of air. The body's architecture, and extending the body to its furthest limits into the surrounding air, are closely connected to and partially derive from the music spaces created by Composer Kasper T. Toeplitz. Gourfink is fascinated by the spaces the sound renders for dancing - peripheral spaces whose fuzzy edges are defined by the range covered by the sound. The story of Chinese emperors who scaled palaces according to the range covered by a sound produced in a central point, has become Gourfink's story. Starting from the immateriality of a space created by sound vibrations, from its elasticity spanning from miniscule to infinite, Gourfink create spheres into which the body extends itself. Marine Marine, a project of resonances between interpreter and choreographer created for La Bâtie 2001, is based on a simple but bold principle: the dancer selects her choreographer and commissions her to create a solo full of sensory exchanges, organized breathing, physical and emotional tensions, and supports. Marine embodies an elastic purification of movement millimeter by millimeter. Of breathtaking beauty, Gourfink is again focused on breathing and internal movements, creating a work that vibrates to a subsonic score and literally opens up space. Breathing Monster An evening-length work of abstracted, hypnotic movement and sound, Toeplitz improvises on electronic bass to explore the frontiers between pitch, noise, oscillations and stillness, while Gourfink uses meticulous internal visualizations to manifest an evolving, interconnected series of micro-movements. Toeplitz has developed a body of work in the no-man's-land between academic electronic composition and sheer noise, and is known for collaborating with such unclassifiable musicians as Zbigniew Karkowski, Dror Feiler, Art Zoyd, Éliane Radigue, Phill Niblock and Ulrich Krieger. Toeplitz utilizes the computer as instrument, and as a tool for reflecting on music differently, transforming the musical parameters of pitch data and temporality. Produced by Chez Bushwick with support from: French-US Exchange in Dance (FUSED), Cultural Services of the French Embassy, Mertz Gilmore Foundation, New York Community Trust, Foundation for Contemporary Art, and the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs. |

OBJECT AS PERFORMER Curated and Produced by Sarah Dahnke Featuring work by: Object as Performer brings together dance, performance, video and installation artists whose work elevates inanimate objects beyond the role of a simple prop. Rebecca Davis will debut Restless Nest, which explores leftovers and mutability through the lens of digestion, dreams, and trash. Abigail Levine will perform her work Backshore, which uses masking tape to measure the distances and intimacies between performer, audience, and theater space. Juri Onuki will perform her solo piece Under, where she explores her senses in the relationship among her body, mind and the transparent material. Nina Schwanse’s three videos First Church, My Honda and Homegrown, which collectively deal with the gendered object as it is represented through strategies of local advertising and tradeshow marketing, will be screened in the Object as Performer gallery. The A.O. Movement Collective will perform three sections from barrish. In these sections, red string makes visible the connections encounters create. Felisia Tandiono's newest work Be Glow investigates an object-character commentary utilizing a common tool for public display, neon signs. It will be on display in the window of CPR-Center for Performance Research. Object as Performer will also be accompanied by a book of photos and essays by the artists on the topic of objects in performance. This is available for pre-order via the show's Kickstarter campaign: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/504286060/object-as-performer |

Karen Therese (Australia) The Comfort Zone: A Performance Lecture Karen Therese's solo work is ...adventurous and certainly one of the best...brave...haunting and wonderful. Comfort: Contentment, ease, something relieving suffering or worry. What makes us comfortable? What do we do to maintain our personal comfort? The collaboration investigates ‘The Comfort Zone Theory’ as defined by business analyst and psychologist Alistair White. This theory is used ironically to measure the anxiety levels of both performer and audience. The work draws from business development strategies such as ‘performance management’’, ‘performance development’, and ‘performance incentives’. The lecture provokes the audience through survey questions, graphs and statistical evidence, which relates both to their immediate experience of comfort and the comfort they find within themselves in relation to the broader society. Collaborating Artists: Karen Therese (performer/writer), Chris Wilson (video artist) and Tiffany Bakker (journalist). http://vimeo.com/2780476 |

CPR Presents: A Dance & Media Performance Featuring Works by: Charlotte Bydwell, Kirstin Kapustik, Katherine Partington & Match Box Dances choreographed by Adam H. Weinert Tickets by $12 suggested donation (cash only at the door) or online at http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/217867 Center for Performance Research in Brooklyn will present dance works by Charlotte Bydwell, Kirstin Kapustik and Katherine Partington, as well as a four-part dance film Match Box Dances choreographed by Adam H. Weinert and directed by Philippe Tremlbay-Berberi. A graduate of the Juilliard School, Charlotte Bydwell, will present an excerpt from her solo performance Woman of Leisure and Panic, which premiered in May 2011 as part of the 8th Annual soloNova Festival at P.S. 122. In this whimsical combination of dance and theatre, she depicts a young woman’s quest to find balance in a life where every achievement seems to bring uncertainty. Watch as she struggles to remain financially stable, creatively productive, physically fit, romantically satisfied, and still standing...or should she sit? womanofleisureandpanic.tumblr.com Choreographer and producer Kirstin Kapustik will present her newest work You Know I Love You, set to the music of the 60’s and 70’s. This work is a comical depiction of interactions between individuals and what it means to belong to a group. This work premiered at Dixon place in fall 2011 as part of the Underexposed Series. Dreams of a Common House Fly, by Katherine Partington, is an excerpt of a work-in-progress first inspired by Charlotte Perkins Gilman's "The Yellow Wallpaper" and then transformed into its current dream-like state with a focus on collection and memory. This work was created in part of 2011 Brooklyn Arts Exchange Upstart Festival. Choreographed by Adam H. Weinert and directed by Philippe Tremlbay-Berberi, Match Box Dances is a short, four-part dancefilm shot on the streets, sidewalks and loading docks of DUMBO, one of New York’s most quickly changing neighborhoods. The product of an inter- disciplinary collaboration, Match Box Dances is a snapshot of ongoing investigations of portraiture in dance on camera. The project explores the intersection of public, private and personal gestures, while employing a creative and technical regard to immediacy similar to that of an instant Polaroid: The content, creation and production arise necessarily ‘of-the-moment’, and produce an artifact that functions as both document and art object. Since it's release in April of 2011, Match Box Dances has been awarded “Editor’s Pick” for May 2011 in Dance Magazine and will be featured in their August issue. Additionally, Match Box Dances has been selected to be screened as part of: Bushwick Open Studios (excerpt), New York June 2011; Suoni Per Il Popolo Festival, Montreal June 2011; and Cinedans, Amsterdam 2011. We are also in conversation with Hamel Bloom from Sans Souci Festival of Dance Cinema in Colorado, and Nuria Font at VideoDanceVideoDance">?VideoDance<a href=">?">?

Bessie Award winning Layard Thompson, and Rebecca Patek present two consecutive evening length performances. Spelling Flashhhh Lightsssss Spelling Flashhhh Lightsssss is crafted spontaneity—a solo performance and sly theatric defined by verbal, phenomenal, and action-oriented play. In this dance of light and language, Layard Thompson’s experimental questioning shifts forms through poetic libretto, performance portmanteau and musing clownish camp. Feint glimpses, enticing shadows, and the space imagined in the dark, shed light on potential shades of meaning. In a strong review titled “An Otherworldly Wildness This Way Comes”, Claudia La Rocco of The New York Times congratulates, “Here’s to dancers being heard, not just seen.” With words, gesture, and raw expression darkly wrought, Spelling Flashhhh Lightsssss wickedly illuminates the potential subjectivity of staged meaning-making performance. Current projects include an expanded version of Spelling Flashhhh Lightsssss to include a supporting cast of vocal players, as well as an emergent duet collaboration with Bessie Award winning performer, Scott Heron. Layard lives in rural Tennessee amidst a thriving community of queer homesteaders on an artist-owned and operated community center and informal arts retreat known as Sassafras. layardthompson.com Resisdance Using satire to incorporate those marginalized facets of performance, they become the central focus of the work, which allows movement between sincerity and cynicism until the line between the two becomes blurred for audience and performer alike. Seeking to create active experiences for the audience in contrast to passive viewing, Patek subverts traditional notions of performance structure aiming to call into question assumptions and reflexive ways of perceiving. In these moments of disorientation and discomfort lies the opportunity for transformation. This is the ultimate goal of Patek's artistic work. Rebecca Patek is a Brooklyn based choreographer and performance artist creating work that is a synthesis of dance, theater and comedy. Patek is currently a 2011-12 Artist in Residence at Movement Research. Patek was awarded a 2010-11 residency at Dance Theater Workshop (now New York Live Arts) as part of Fresh Tracks Performance and Residency Program. Her work has been presented at Dance Theater Workshop, The Joyce Soho, Movement Research at Judson Church, Dixon Place, Mulberry Street Theatre, The Tank, Aunts, Triskelion Arts, White Wave Dance Festival, The LoFt, The Overture Center (Madison WI), Brickyard Pond (NH), and Nexus Foundation for Today’s Art, among others. In 2005 Patek along with Liza Clark founded Mascher Space Co-operative, a low cost artist run rehearsal and performance space in Philadelphia. In 2008 she worked with Master Artist Susan Marshall as Associate Artist in Residence at Atlantic Center for the Arts. Patek’s film collaboration, The Princess and The Vagicorn, was shown at Philadelphia Dance Project’s Motion Pictures 2009. This coming season Patek will be presenting new work at The Chocolate Factory, The Joyce Soho, 92nd Street Y, Brooklyn Arts Exchange and Movement Research at Judson Church. http://rebeccapatek.com/ Chez Bushwick Chez Bushwick, an artist-run organization based in Brooklyn, is dedicated to the advancement of interdisciplinary art and performance, with a strong focus on new choreography. www.chezbushwick.net The program is supported by Mertz Gilmore Foundation, New York State Council on the Arts, Prospect Hill Foundation, and in part, by public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council.

A Story: Dido and Aeneas at CPRPart of The Watermill Center / CPR residency partnership. Krymov Lab presents Purcell’s Dido and Aeneas as an “object-based opera” performed by a company of stage designers led by Vera Martynova. All graduating students of GITIS, the Moscow Theater Academy, the young artists not only devised, conceived, imagined, and created every element on stage but they are also performers and singers. Henry Purcell’s Dido and Aeneas found its inspiration in the Book IV of Virgil's Aeneid and tells the tragic love story of Dido, Queen of Carthage and the Trojan hero Aeneas. Its first known performance was at Josias Priest's girls' school in London in 1688, was created for an intimate space, and required only a few instruments. As a consequence, this reimagining of Dido and Aeneas recreates the original intimacy by communicating with the audience in a very personal and direct way: living stage images are constructed and deconstructed ceaselessly in front of our eyes in a montage of real-time sound, technology and performance coming together in song. Chez Bushwick, Presenting PartnerChez Bushwick, an artist-run organization based in Brooklyn, is dedicated to the advancement of interdisciplinary art and performance, with a strong focus on new choreography. www.chezbushwick.net
The program is supported, in part, by public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council, and by the Mertz Gilmore Foundation. |

CHRIS FERRIS & DANCERS Tickets: $15 general admission, $12 students/seniors
Chris Ferris & Dancers is known for its fearless action, physical indulgence, and elegant design. Fists pound the floor, bodies spiral with tactile awareness, and the planes of raw space are rearranged again and again until you are twitching in your seat. Movement is organized dynamically and varied as a piece of visual music with focus on the sculptural qualities of bodies in action consuming limitless verses limited space. In an atypical style, the dances are begun first and the music is made in reaction, creating a give and take situation. As a result the performers become very connected by listening to one another, and use that extra dancer sense of "where one is in space", as they react to one other in a vibrant conversation of movement. In Crease (premier) is simply a duet of folding as well as opening that creates dynamic interaction. It is a puzzle of phrases that weave the dancers around each other in a playful yet menacing manner. For every opening there is a closing as the point of focus shifts. The many folds create intricate gesture against large engulfing sweeps. Setting Night Rising Storm (premier) a solo danced by Chris Ferris, winds action like a spring, only to be released in fits and starts, lashing into space. Calm as a vortex in the center of the storm interlaces with the ricocheting about of a mind and momentum that will not rest. Ants Standing Still Planetary Rotation (premiere full length) throws 3 dancers into scattered controlled chaos executed with precision. Unpredictable connections occur in their parallel universes as they assemble into a trio. Action escalates into a single unifying breath. Clearing (quintet-2010) is an environment of 5 ceiling to near floor hanging and swinging sculptures. The sets and dancers become intimate but yet can be pure form and as enigmatic as strangers passing through an atrium. Sculptures are by Warren Kloner. Where I Sit (2006) a solo danced by Katie Aggen, is all about a heavy mobile pelvis that can be passive in weight, yet forceful as the center of the body. This body part, where one sits, can be as whimsical as it can be sexual. |

Tze Chun Dance Company in association with CPR present: TWO NEW WORKS FROM 2011 Friday, October 14th and Saturday October 15th at 8pm Information: www.TzeChunDance.com FLOWER AND WILLOW (Premiere) Flower and Willow is a dance-art performance inspired by the true-life story of Sada Yakko, a Japanese geisha who greatly shaped Western perception of Japanese theater and dance at the turn of the century. Although Sada Yakko was an international celebrity in her day, as a geisha trained in crafting an experience and sometimes an illusion, she remains a mystery in many ways. This dance navigates the layers of her somewhat mysterious motives and emotions and the interplay of her public persona and personal ambition. Through photography, movement, and mixed-media artwork, Darling and Chun investigate the story of a woman who emotionally overcame the social prejudices at home as she succeeded to gain the affections of audiences abroad. Excerpts from TAKEN (2011) TAKEN examines the concepts of transport and transition. What lessons do we learn from our experiences, that we then carry through life? What physical things do we desperately hold onto for a sense of security and permanence? A devised project, TAKEN draws imagery and details from the dancers' own experiences. Using the image of a suitcase (and its inherent associations) as a point of departure, TAKEN investigates the relentless human desire to hold, carry, and possess. The dancers, collaborators and choreographer will be available for a short Q & A immediately following Friday's performance. |

We are going to make you dance. Tickets: Suggested Donation of $10.00 We are only two. Everything depends on the principle that she is, that we are, and that she is there. Uncertainty is only artistic, and staged. It is not important, it is not necessary to say ‘those two', but that is part of our life. Be calm, all is clear, the movement is the master of all whilst the music also plays. Ring it up on the cash register, and from then on it will never be forgotten. From the start until the finish the mission itself keeps us alert. The soul is and will always be where it should be, in Labeny.

Dance/Theatre/Music production Tickets: Free admission - Donation of 5$ appreciated The Balletto di Sardegna original production NUR was conceived and staged by the company's artistic director, Guido Tuveri. NUR dramatizes, through dance, theatre, and song, the story of two Sardinian stonemasons divided by love for the same girl and by the politics of Fascist Italy, which saw them lined up in the opposite way. NUR represents a cross section of the Sardinian society of 1945. Though the tale, based on true events, ends tragically, the production offers a reflection in which the characters are given a different possibility, realize that all events happened because of social pressures and therefore choose to follow their inner perception, which leads them into using LOVE instead. That universal energy that is too powerful to be contained is, at the very end, the means to freedom.

CPR Presents: New Voices In Live Performance - Curated by Jack Ferver
Tickets: $12 Larissa Velez-Jackson: Star Crap in Progress is Velez-Jackson's new work in progress based on improvisations in dance, song, sound poetry, and standup comedy. The piece asks the performer to seamlessly embody a cross section of performance personas that are amplified by live microphone. Star Crap in Progress explores the microphone as a vehicle for heightened exposure and simultaneously a structure to hide behind. Velez-Jackson frenetically creates, reverses, and discards roles to reveal what's just beneath the surface of a façade, creating a dense and fearless form of expression. Benjamin Ford Asriel: Utility Pet is dedicated to-and a product of-my parents. It both incorporates and eludes the models of companionship that were my (our) birthright. It is fantasy, history, poetry, soliloquy. It's a study of function and affection. It's a new dance for two men. Created and Performed with Jeremy Finch |

Impostor Striketh Back: Being the Tale in Which Impostor Fools the Gods The world premiere of an original, full-length verse play: "Impostor Striketh Back: Being the Tale in Which Impostor Fools the Gods" by artistic director Timothy Martin Bungeroth. The production is directed by Amanda Thompson. Following the events of A Game Without A Name, the Indomitable Impostor (a primordial trickster spirit) somehow manages to escape his dark tower, and schemes his revenge on the gods that have enslaved him. Suddenly free, he sets out to accomplish the unthinkable: fool the all-knowing and alter the course of the universe. Along the way, however, his grand design takes unexpected turns, and the characters he creates to serve his darker purpose (two bumbling heralds, a teenage stoner, two gunslingers, a bounty hunter, and a mystical knight) begin to rebel against their written destinies. Culminating in an epic struggle aboard the legendary Flying Dutchman, each party must come to grips with the origin of his creation, and the inevitability of his destruction.
