Dance

Id is a theater group that truly believes in nurturing talent, including actors and writers.  Unlike other result driven companies, id doesn’t focus on producing full-length plays.  It truly gives its participants room to take risks and explore.  By focusing on the process, the plays that are presented are truly high quality.  Id has been around since 1997 and given hundreds an artistic outlet.  It is a wonderful group and deserves to be supported.
 

Third Rail Projects is at it again, continuing their mission to rescue dance from the twin devils of classical stagnation and academic obscurantism by bringing it to the streets—or in this case, the World Financial Center. Every workday lunch hour this month they will put on a new performance, finding new ways to creratively act out the hidden, interpersonal undercurrents of our daily routines.


After a 5-year world tour Mabou Mines DollHouse will return to St. Ann’s Warehouse to “transform [Henrik] Ibsen's bourgeois tragedy into high comedy with a deep bite.” 


Those who work at the World Financial Center are in for a treat. All month long Zach Morris and Tom Pearson of Third Rail Projects will be presenting a new dance performance every workday during the lunch hour. The 5-10 minute performances will showcase the ordinary yet overlooked “undercurrents” of interpersonal “exchange”.

This year’s gala at The Plaza will honor legendary Essence Magazine editor emerita Susan Taylor and her husband, author Khephra Burns, with the organization’s Visionary Award. Noel Hankin, Senior Vice President of Moet Hennessy USA, will accept the corporate Leadership Award. Proceeds will benefit the esteemed Evidence Dance Company.


In the ten years since it was established the Jo Strømgren Kompanihas become one of the most celebrated contemporary dance, theater and performance companies in Norway.
