Pina is such a whirlwind of drama, humanity, worship, and immaculate settings that its honestly hard to write about. It’s a dramatic flurry to say the least. Debra Levine gives the most critically honest response I’ve read thus far.
There is always a possibility that it could be you: hearing from the Philharmonic’s Patron X after the iphone marimba/ Mahler debacle.
Dancehunter | Nancy Wozny tells us more about Ayman Harper’s show at DiverseWorks. It looks to be electric with the collaboration of Jermaine Spivey of Kidd Pivot and percussion ensemble Matmos. Don’t miss the promo vid at the bottom.
I couldn’t wait until Friday to share this link with you. It’s just too good. Some of the best writing I’ve read on the current state of modern dance, and the future of it, and how we’ve arrived where we are. And what does “contemporary dance” mean, anyway? This writer argues that it doesn’t mean anything. Perhaps she’s even on a crusade against the term. Do you use the term, “contemporary dance?” And what does it mean to you? Here it is.

www.framedance.org— it is indeed our very own website, but I want to point you to the first postcard for the series we’re doing at The Photobooth on Montrose. We have montly installments one Friday night from January through April. And tonight we have our first rehearsal for the series. It’s open to the public– and we would LOVE to have you join us! Snacks and drinks provided. We like to have fun.

Art in schools is building stronger citizens.
We’re trying something new. We’re inviting YOU to our first rehearsal of the season. See where it all begins. We’re all about exposing the process, and usually that means showing you our work before it’s done, but also when we’ve had a running start. See where it actually begins, and see it where we’ll be performing it, at the Photobooth on Montrose.
Here we go:

Yvonne Rainer manifesto, love reading this. But sometimes I like a little sparkle. Sometimes.

Those of you who went to the Graham School or SMU with me might have special feelings about this one. Check out Martha Graham Dance Company’s video competition. I can hardly stand it. I’m pleading as I write this: someone please enter!
