My review of the New York Dance and Performance Awards, aka The Bessies.

I am very excited to have been given the opportunity to start writing for Culturebot, by founder and editor Andy Horwitz.

My first piece, a review of Charles Atlas’ film of Merce Cunningham’s Interscape (2000).

I’ll post links here for all my pieces.

This November we are embarking on our most ambitious project to date with choreographer Stephen Petronio. After much planning, fundraising and nail-biting, we are eager to begin rehearsals at the Duo Multicultural Arts Center in NYC where we will be artists-in-residence. But in order to do so, we need your support! We have raised nearly $17,000 towards this exciting project; however, we must raise an additional $15,000 to bring it to fruition. The funds raised through Kickstarter will go directly towards covering the costs of dancer salaries (!!!), the choreographer’s fee, the composer Son Lux’s fee, lighting by Jennifer Tipton, the theater, and costumes.

Please support us if you can – no amount is too little.

Michael Levinton, artistic director of Little Lord (a theater company), sent me this today.  Amazing.

I’ll be performing in my first Nut(ish)cracker in December, courtesy of David Parker and The Bang Group.

Finally, after years of hearing this music from the back of house when I was producing The Hard Nut for Mark Morris, I get to dance.

It’s about time.
