"Dean's installation looks amazing down here... stepping into the darkness, you can see only th...e flickering lights of the six projectors. They look like radiant stars in the night sky." - The New York Times
For three days in fall 2008, Tacita Dean filmed Merce Cunningham and his company rehearsing an Event in the craneway of an abandoned Ford Motor factory in Northern California. The stunning 16-millimeter, feature-length film that resulted, Craneway Event, captures the austere and powerful beauty of the dancers moving across multiple stages in the massive hangar-like space, and is the last appearance made by this legendary choreographer on film. It also marks the second collaboration between Cunningham and Dean, an internationally acclaimed visual artist whose work is exhibited at biennials and galleries worldwide. In 2008, Dean's installation Merce Cunningham performs Stillness (in three movements) to John Cage's composition 4'33" with Trevor Carlson, New York City, 28 April 2007 (six performances; six films) was exhibited at Dia:Beacon. The world premiere of Craneway Event is co-presented by Performa 09 and Danspace Project.
Performa 09 (November 1-22, 2009) is the third edition of the internationally acclaimed biennial of new visual art performance presented by Performa, a non-profit multidisciplinary arts organization dedicated to exploring the critical role of live performance in the history of twentieth century art and to encouraging new directions in performance for the twenty-first century. www.performa-arts.org Read More

One day you'll be ready for David Rousseve:

Source: blog.mappinternational.org
When I was younger, my mother used to tell me, “One day you will be ready for DavidRoussève.” As much as I hate to admit it, she was right, and what she meant was that Roussève’s is not a choreography of simplicity; it is a choreography that requires of its viewer a little life experience. ...
Danspace Project Don't miss Saudade this weekend. “David Roussève is one of the most provocative figures on the modern dance scene: a multitalented artist, a low-key but incisively compelling performer eloquent in both words and movement, and a choreographer of wide-ranging imagination.” - The Washington Times

Emmanuelle Vo-Dinh
Ici / Per.For
U.S. Premiere
October 29-31, 2009 • [Thu-Sat] • 8:00 PM
Admission: $18 ($12 for members)
" The body in its interior dynamic resembles an unexplored and uncontrollable molecular system, and yet it's a machine the dancer masters to perfection. "
- Seringhaus
Ici means here, in this place, ...now. Perfor means to perforate, push through. In Ici / Per.For Emmanuelle Vo-Dinh continuously unfurls and contracts, pushing through her body's physical limits and examining its ability to rest, to rise, to abandon itself and to resist. Vo-Dinh perforates space in a long continuum that is reminiscent of paper whose texture changes with repeated folding and unfolding. Performing with Vo-Dinh is award-winning composer Zeena Parkins.
Lighting design by Françoise Michel, costume design by Virginie and Jean-Jacques Weil.
Ici / Per.For is funded in part by FUSED: French U.S. Exchange in Dance, a program of the National Dance Project/New England Foundation for the Arts and the Cultural Services of the French Embassy in New York with lead funding from Doris Duke Charitable Foundation, the French American Cultural Exchange and the Florence Gould Foundation. Additional support has been provided by Cultures France.

How could I possibly miss anything by Cynthia Oliver and her COCo Dance Theatre, let alone a multimedia primer on Caribbean-ness/womanhood/the glory of the body/and the gleeful sacredness of "wining"?You know wining? I'm not talking about what you sip from a glass. ...
