Join John Jasperse Projects in a showing of material in development towards a new evening-length performance, hexenzirkel, to premiere in 2025. The multi-generational cast includes performing collaborators Vicky Shick, Jodi Melnick, Cynthia Koppe, Maria Fleischman, and Jace Weyant. Some material in this evening’s performance was developed for an earlier iteration of this work, which included the participation of performing collaborator Allysen Hooks.  

The performance will be followed by a brief Q and A with the artists. 

Thanks to the Bogliasco Foundation and to Baryshnikov Arts Center for residency support of the early stages of this project in Spring 2023.

The activities of John Jasperse Projects in the 2023-2024 season are supported, in part, by grants from the Cultural Development Fund of the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs, the New York State Council On the Arts, and the James E. Robison Foundation, as well as by individual donations.

A Respectable Death is a ritual dance-theater performance inspired by my brother, visual artist David Pettrow. My brother was a brilliant painter who took his own life in 2000.  For 24 years I have wanted to create a performance that would not only honor my brother, but also share the power of how art can transform and heal our lives. A Respectable Death examines grief in solitude, the complexity of art, and ultimately how we re-examine our place in the universe after experiencing tragic loss. A deeply poetic meditation and collaboration with my brother. What do we do with our pain?  What do we do with our agency?  What do we do when we are faced with great loss?  Where do we turn to? A Respectable Death is a communal ritual for all. It speaks to that which cannot be named - the unknown, mysterious trajectory of life and death. A ritual that is lacking in our current state.

Written, choreographed, directed, and performed by Daniel Pettrow
Co-director and Mentorship by Arthur Nauzyciel.
Original sound design by Omar Zubair
Filming and photos by Stephen O'Connell


Please consider supporting the presentation of A Respectable Death through the artist’s Indiegogo Campaign.

STEME DANCE NYC is a project based performance art company on a mission to employ the most local freelance artists, year after year. Founded in 2022 by choreographer Stephanie Steme, SDNYC is continually looking for effective ways to create new performance spaces, tell passionate stories, and form a massive community for all artists.

This Choreographers' Showcase, quantum, is supporting six of New York City's emerging choreographers – Anna Limberea, Dominique M Fontenot, Sumayyah Smith & Madi O’Halloran, Damontae Hack, Eléonore Dumas & Ve Moreno, and Stephanie Steme – while providing Space Time Energy Movement and Expression (STEME). For those who experience it, we hope quantum reflects back to you the quantity and quality of energy in proportional magnitude to the frequency we represent.

A three-part cycle of complex walking patterns, hits and misses, and a healthy dose of restarts, Connect Four explores the rhythms, contours, and textures of missed connections, reconnections, and absence. Three live performers in quartet with absence mark the four-year anniversary of the 2020 shutdown.

TAK Ensemble premieres Jessie Cox's Censored Sounds: Structural Erasure, an evening length work that centers perspective as it pertains to sound and acoustic perception. 

“It is a well-known fact that some of the photos that helped document the Holocaust were taken by Nazis. It is a well-known fact who lynched the Negroes. The Nazis tried to erase their own violence. Lynching happened both without record but also as mass spectacle with souvenirs. How many Black lives are taken by societal violence? The forgetting of George Floyd and Black Lives Matter is happening faster than time. Repression is a formal thing: “I am going to tell you what I am not.” Its form is just as important and defining as its content, if not more. Repression and false memory are the same: they both profess something by negating it. “I have already told you this. I already know this.” A déjà vu, a false memory, this way I don’t have to hear anything here. AGAIN: Repression is a formal thing: “I am going to tell you what I am not, which is really what I am” Its form is just as important and defining as its content, if not more. Repression and false memory are the same: they both profess something by negating it. “I already know this. It has already been done. I have already seen it.” A déjà vu, it’s a false memory, this way I don’t have to hear anything here. I am not listening.”

Radio gives order to chaos, domesticating natural and geopolitical forces into the rhythms of daily routine. In Iceland and Aotearoa/New Zealand, radio has had an especially defining impact. The radio archives of these “remote island nations” are full of little dramas in which the global sagas of the last century play out on kitchen-counter stages.

Celeste Oram, Keir GoGwilt & Ensemble Adapter present Varpcast, a zany live radio show that – with music, multilingual banter, and technological sleights of hand – talks back to this archive, and to the 20th century, from the network of islands the show's creators call home. These island stories offer much to considerations of the future, and what constitutes self-determination in a globally indebted world. Because everywhere is far away from somewhere – yet no-one, and no nation, is an island.


Varpcast is created with support from APRA AMCOS, Creative New Zealand, Berlin Hauptstadtkulturfonds, Deutschlandfunk Kultur, Ultraschall Festival. Qubit's programs are made possible by the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of the Office of the Governor and the New York State Legislature.

The 50th Anniversary of Time & Space Limited (TSL) marks a milestone in the history of American experimental theater, dance, performance, and related forms, now being celebrated with a NYC premiere of SAID & DONE, a new performance work by Linda Mussmann in collaboration with Claudia Bruce and Charlotte Stickles.

SAID & DONE unfolds over the course of one riveting hour as a mosaic of danced, spoken, and visually choreographed performance. Mussmann's masterfully crafted structure includes nimble partnering between performers Bruce and Stickles, who form two points in the production's three-body question, and proposition: an unsolvable mathematical problem of determining the motions of three bodies moving through space under no influence other than that of their mutual gravitation.

Life-long collaborators Bruce and Mussmann are showcasing, during this 50th Anniversary, their performance mastery at providing the time and space for versatile texts to live in the moment: their give-and-take style is highly visible in this performance. Stickles balances the multiple challenges of voice and movement while seamlessly interacting with the TSL co-founders, in a searingly memorable performance.

This production of SAID & DONE presents a literal embodiment of dance and theater history, being shared and passed along from two established performance artists, to an up-and-coming knockout performer ready to carry the legacy forward.

Elements of the production (signatures of Mussmann's work) include a gridded floor, and a custom-designed lighting rig, featuring signature rheostat dimmers which Mussmann operates by hand. Originally workshopped and presented to inaugurate The Hudson Eye Festival 2023, to critical acclaim, SAID & DONE  was created with the specific proportions of CPR – Center for Performance Research in mind. These performances catalyze a tour for TSL, onboarding partnerships, and broadening awareness of the TSL legacy, while making TSL's history accessible to new generations, whose performance research has been impacted by their pioneering early work.

These performances are made possible by generous support from Jonah Bokaer Arts Foundation and its Board Of Directors, Jeffrey Oakes, and Jeff Sidell, and major philanthropists of the performing arts.

CAN YOU GIVE US A HAND... is a film, a documentary of sorts, capturing both factual/actual happenings in space and time, as well attempting (through its construction and presentation) to convey feelings of joy, playfulness, anxiety, horror, beauty and connection.  The process itself took place from mid to end of August, completely contained in CPR's two studios.  All sounds and images were created and recorded within those spaces. After the last three years, creating largely solitary work (a reality made necessary by global pandemic and personal trauma) I (PJ Verhoest: avid cracker of knuckles) was craving collaboration. To exhaust the pun, I was really looking for a hand! I found six: Tamara Leigh (press-on-nail enthusiast), Tori Mazzacone Ruthen (aspiring ambidextrous), and Nikki Theroux (a righty who always wanted to be a lefty).  We entered this process together, unsure of what we were getting ourselves into, but in the darkness, found each other.

The evening will consist of a very low-key showing of our film, CAN YOU GIVE US A HAND...  The run time of the film is 28 minutes, and we'll try to press play close to 7:15pm (give or take a minute or two). The score of entirely original music was created by PJ Verhoest as well as the editing of the film itself. Feel free to arrive anytime after 6:30 and before 7. Also, it's the day before PJ's bday...

Greenhouse is a live performance adaptation of "O Alienista," a novella by lauded Brazilian writer Machado de Assis. The show follows the rise and fall of Simão Bacamarte, an early 19th century alienist so obsessed with madness that he begins to see it in everyone around him. Greenhouse heightens the novella's absurd comedy and heart-breaking drama, while revisiting Machado's nuanced interrogation of crimes committed in the name of science. It will feature an original score and an interlude of new short plays and poetry. Guests are also encouraged to commune with the performers throughout the night. If you wish, come dressed for a wedding reception…

*Ticket prices are calculated to cover the real costs of producing Greenhouse. The Elif Collective encourages guests to select the ticketing tier that best reflects their individual circumstances, as well as their ability to support independent, groundbreaking performances in NYC. Some tickets are limited, while “pay-it-forward” tickets allow us to subsidize more accessible tickets. Thank you for your generous support.

Based on the poetry collection of the same name by Sommer Browning, Good Actors is an irreverent, moving, funny, genre-bending one-woman show about the beauty and impossibility of being human.

Where do our roles end and real life begin? How do we transition between art and life when life itself is a creative act? Where are the edges? Do we ever know what the hell we’re doing? Good Actors is a funny, moving, irreverent, and sexy avoidance of these very questions. Based on Browning’s third poetry collection, the performance weaves together poetry, standup, theater, and everyday life — you know, love, sex, grief & motherhood — with pop culture and a wry take on self-help. The performance is directed and produced by Aaron Angello and features bold, vibrant animations created specifically for the text by filmmaker Kelly Sears.

Based on the poetry collection of the same name by Sommer Browning, Good Actors is an irreverent, moving, funny, genre-bending one-woman show about the beauty and impossibility of being human.

Where do our roles end and real life begin? How do we transition between art and life when life itself is a creative act? Where are the edges? Do we ever know what the hell we’re doing? Good Actors is a funny, moving, irreverent, and sexy avoidance of these very questions. Based on Browning’s third poetry collection, the performance weaves together poetry, standup, theater, and everyday life — you know, love, sex, grief & motherhood — with pop culture and a wry take on self-help. The performance is directed and produced by Aaron Angello and features bold, vibrant animations created specifically for the text by filmmaker Kelly Sears.

Play Practice is a weekly group meeting of queer and trans artists initiated by Anna Muselmann in August 2023. Together, the group explores the relationships between play and games, rules and freedom, leading and following, desire and consent, and power and authority.

With the intention of creating a non-hierarchical space in which everyone leads, everyone follows, everyone teaches, everyone learns, everyone speaks, everyone listens, and everyone is empowered to both express their desires and to say no, Play Practice explores individual and group curiosity and need, and invites us to notice our relational patterns, roles, and all that comes up in the group— frustration, conflict, boredom, tension, silliness, pleasure, awkwardness, release—and to play with it all.

Tell Me What to Do captures the first three months of Play Practice, in a performance edited by Anna Muselmann and made in collaboration with Play Practice members Ify Akiti, Nic Baird, Kathryn Camacho, Chip Kimura, Koz, Phoebe Osborne, Vitche-Boul Ra, reed rushes, Jen Steinbeck, Coco Villa, Sam White, Lu Yim, and Angel Zinovieff.

This work-in-progress showing of [ the hurricanes in your mouth ], premiering May 2024 as a part of the 2023–24 Performance AIRspace residency at Abrons Arts Center, weaves together Caribbean cosmology, the histories of pirate radio, and Jamaican sound system culture to create a performance speculating on sonic fugitivity. The performance focuses on the wind, embracing it as a destructive climatological force, a generative power, and a creative world-maker. Wind is channeled through the body via the mouth to propel voice, conjure speech, and disperse poetics. [ the hurricanes in your mouth ] meditates on the connection between the wind in our mouths and the gale of the storm, as forces that make a room for the oral imaginary.

TANZABEND features various performance works by AFFEKT Dance Company. AFFEKT Dance Company was founded by Janina Young in Brooklyn, NY in 2023. The company believes that the display of contemporary movement exploration ignites creativity and inspiration and empowers the audience to celebrate their own voices. This is AFFEKT Dance Company’s first show in which they are looking forward to showcasing individuality, artistry, and collaboration. 

A research-based approach on movement combined with floor work and release philosophy carves out the movement language for this evening. Technical dance knowledge is interpreted through a contemporary perspective. The use of momentum, clear pathways, spirals, and dynamics give the movement a storyline and sense of purpose. The exploration of movement is accompanied by a multitude of musical styles and evokes a lingering curiosity and stimulating tranquility within the viewer. The choreography reflects the physical manifestation of those feelings. The energy never diminishes, even in moments of stillness, the dancers are still active.

In line with AFFEKT Dance Company’s mission – to inspire and foster authentic voices, by honoring dance history and pushing the boundaries of contemporary dance – all choreography was created in collaboration with the dancers. United in purpose and diverse in expression, we move to accentuate, inspire, and amplify the beauty of being human.

Archives from the Scrapbook features a duo of performance works by Finleigh Zack Dance, and incorporates an audience talkback which will further inform the company's creative process.

The first work, Another Meaningful Moment, explores how the emotional wellbeing of humans reacts to the simplest form of movement as a primal instinct. Dance is not only a form of entertainment but a way for people to discover feelings nonverbally. Watch as reaction, exploration, and healing all exist on the same plane together – our bodies hold emotion, but how do we release them?

The second work, Prologue, explores the concept of transitional moments that shape the trajectory of a story, highlighting individual growth narratives. The work aims to unlock memories, provoke self-reflection, and capture the essence of human experience through authentic expression. Each of our lives carry a unique underlying story that shapes our identity. During the performance, both the artists and the audience will collectively engage in observation, curiosity, and personal growth, culminating in an epilogue that interweaves these narratives together within the talkback.

The performance as a whole aims to evoke memories and provide an opportunity for individuals in the space to explore and deepen their understanding of their personal purpose. The work seeks to tap into the genuine expression of emotions and its capacity to encapsulate the rich tapestry of the human experience.

This evening of shared live solo works by Alexa Wilson and Emilee Lord offers an intimacy and vulnerability of experience from varying perspectives in the post-covid climate where the shared and individual bodily experience was altered over these years and our understandings of connection profoundly changed.


PROGRAM

Emilee Lord: HOME

HOME is a meditation, a ritual, a reminder, and a process. In words, live drawings, and dance Lord investigates what it means to be seen, what it means to be fruitful, and where our fullest selves reside. The work is rooted in the words of Henri Nouwen, “Stay home and trust that your life will be fruitful, even when hidden.” 

Alexa Wilson: ALIEN

Part dance, part song, part embodied ted talk, part cyberpunk, part performance art, part possession, ALIEN embraces the body as foreign to self and others, often alienated inside change. ALIEN was developed over 2022 between Auckland NZ (Aotearoa/NZ) and New York on a Mothership residency and was performed at TinyFest Otautahi Christchurch and Q Theatre Auckland (Tāmaki Makaurau) NZ, 2023.

The layering of personal ritual is made through collaboration with the general public through a survey about personal rituals conducted at different times of day.Members of the public are invited to join in person and to participate by filling out the Japanese Tea and Ritual Room Questionnaire.

Tara Aliya Kesavan and Indranil Choudhury (Fellows 2022), with Aditi Dey, present Bengali Urban Gardening Oral Soundscape, an oral history project and installation that aims to research urban gardening practices within the Bangladeshi community in New York. In neighborhoods like Jamaica in Queens and Sunset Park in Brooklyn, residential homes are often used to grow seasonal produce, turning backyards and open spaces into lush vegetable gardens each year. For the Show Don't Tell Symposium, the group will introduce a work in progress based on oral histories from this community. Later this summer, these audio stories will go on to form part of a larger public exhibition dedicated to the project.

The Dendron Project is making a people’s immunology for (all) pandemic times. If the body is always a battleground and we are at war with ourselves, who wins? What do we know about the ways that our bodies heal, recognize and respond? The Dendron Project’s inaugural meeting of the People’s Immunology Committee convenes on Sunday June 18th to create new and true stories about how we deal with danger, know ourselves and seek to heal. This committee meeting will commence with a slide talk by the Dendron Project Principal Investigator, Emily Bass, and with guest speakers including the Dendritic Cell and the Transparent Woman. Committee members will have the chance and choice to contribute images, texts, gestures, ideas and queries to the project of making the people’s immunology.

Time Signatures is an evening of nine contemporary dance pieces, choreographed by Clymene Aldinger, and performed by four women – JoVonna Parks, Bridget Cronin, Angelica Mondol Viaña, and Roxanne Young.

The 90-minute program consists of a series of solos, duets, trios, and quartets, and is performed by four distinct professional dancers whose divergent and contrasting life experiences celebrate our individual uniqueness and shared humanity. The show shifts from dark and intimate to silly, and blends personal reflections and experiences with larger social movements. It is the celebration of womanhood, mentorship and the markings of time. Choreographed to original music by DJ Kurt Rambus with lighting design by Conor Mulligan. 

CLYMOVE Dance, Inc., led by Founding Artistic Director Clymene Aldinger was formed with a commitment to virtuosic dance focused on truth and inclusive creative community. The company’s mission is to create message-driven art, movement, and performance.
