A New Butoh Sci-Fi Fantasy by Vangeline Theater
5 Dances about the 5th:
5th dimension, 5th element, 5th position,
5th amendment, 5th of Beethoven.
Featuring critically acclaimed Vangeline and the Vangeline Theater, and musical arrangement by Ysanne Spevack (Smashing Pumpkins)
Since its inception in 2002, Vangeline Theater has fused the post-apocalyptic vision of Butoh (the Japanese dance form that developed after Hiroshima) with the near-cinematic aesthetic of 21st Century science-fiction noir. Vangeline utilizes Butoh techniques to dance the invisible Life Resonance; in Butoh, our humanity comes from embracing ourselves fully, finding beauty and strength from the depth of our fragility. The company has been heralded in several publications, and was "one of the best Dance Visits of 2011" according to Time Out Chicago.

Take an adventure, complete with new creatures and landscapes, as choreographer Sophie Maguire delves deeper into the woods that harbor the characters of lonely goat's last work (55 Short Stories II). This tale takes a keen interest in the gentleness and loneliness of monsters, telling the story of where beasts come from and where they go. Combining innovative, bare bones movement with striking costumes and deconstructed set pieces, this new work gives humanity to the most grotesque and nastiest of woodland creatures.
The latest work by Kawamura the 3rd explores the theme of human relationships, which do not belong to a clear category. It is not love, enemy, friendship, or family. It could be someone you know at work, school, or a place you go often. You may see each other and talk frequently, but you do not cross the border to become something closer. You communicate with each other with a cushion like a cloud. Sometimes the clouds go away and you are able see the real person underneath. The company focuses on creating original body language and exploring the limits of the body's ability, its texture when manipulated and affected by imaginary things.

cakeface presents alpha pups, linking the outrageous nature of corporate-speak to the desperation and bizarre communication methods seen in the final rounds of 1980's game shows, namely the Winner's Circle of The $25,000 Pyramid and the Fast Money round of Family Feud. This thematic platform, along with synergistic mediums and core competencies, are employed to render personal accounts of awkward communication and reactive experiences. The cast is also available for mastery skills seminars. http://cakefaceart.com/news.html

In her latest work, Gaynor draws our attention toward intimacy. Through patterns, repetition, and a study of gestures, the piece will explore the subtle shifts that occur between people, the many ways in which individuals react to the same situation, and the variations within relationships. Collaborators include composer Devin Maxwell and dancers Emily Diers, Kyle Gerry, Jordan Risdon, Kristi Tornga, and Matthew Westerby.
This premiere was commissioned through New Music USA's Commissioning Music/USA program, which is made possible by generous annual support from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs as well as endowment support from The Mary Flagler Cary Charitable Trust, The Helen F. Whitaker Fund, The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, The Rockefeller Brothers Fund, The William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, and the Francis Goelet Charitable Lead Trust.

It's been said that the secret to happiness is turning your passion into a career. But is bliss within reach if your passion is for modern dance? You might as well tell your parents you're going to become a poet or a mermaid. They'll kvetch, "How will you live? How will you make money?" Josselyn Levinson-Dustin and Michael Richman explore the answers to these pesky questions in their evening of new work that probeswellwork, the jobs dancers take on in order to support their irrational addiction to art. Using polls from the dance community, recorded job interviews, and samplings of different "elevator pitches", this performance addresses just how far some artists are willing to go when they're not dancing. Bring your resume, your availability, and a can-do positive attitudeyou're a shoo-in for the highly esteemed position of audience member.

The Big Mzungu of Kilwa Kivinje is our first work as a company, and we are keen to show our project to the New York theatrical community. Created and directed by Samuel James Wilson, with music by Lon Kaiser, performed and developed by a cast of four intrepid actors, The Big Mzungu tells the story of a white New Yorker gone to Tanzania to bury the body of his African wife in her homeland. Along the highway B2 that runs from Dar-Es-Salaam to Mozambique, the truck in which he travels is stuck in the mud, and the Earth begins to swallow the vehicle
Blending fable and raw storytelling, music and movement, The Big Mzungu is a timely exploration of the politics of death.
Created & Directed by Samuel James Wilson
Musical Direction & Composition by Lon Kaiser
Developed & Performed by Bradley J. Sumner, Joy Notoma, Dwayne Daniels II & Rhonda Khan

strong and stimulative. The piece exposes the layers of presence we sense and experience. Investigating both pain and pleasure, this new project is a reflection of human responsiveness to what and how we feel, echoed in body and mind. Original score by Cale Hawkins.
In Ten Astonishing Mistakes in Reverse, a ferocious and delicately imagined work, Second Nature torques the spare and essential into an unusually orchestrated physical/musical
dialogue. In this visually surreal travelogue of the ordinary, mistakes are reworked back to their core amidst soundscapes, highly physical theater, and altered states of speech. Created and performed by Heather Harpham, Cassie Tunick, and Tanya Calamoneri. Original live music by Danny Tunick.
PLEASE BE ADVISED, there is no late seating allowed for this performance.
If you buy your ticket in advance, your seat is only guaranteed if you arrive by curtain at 8pm. Depending on capacity, we may be able to seat you at intermission.

Sitting atop bar stools in ball gowns, Rebecca M. Sproul and Dancers presents an ode to their new home, Brooklyn. They tear out their fear that evil lurks in every dark corner of this city. Called to duty by their newest and cutest, the A-team snarls as they fit safety goggles across their brow; ready for action. They go to work, fighting crime, kicking cats, and drinking their faces off. Get ready to hear their battle yell, these chicks play hard. Eat your heart out, Johnny, they're dancing like you've never seen them before. Laughing their way through the most serious piece they've created so far you'll see all this and more from the creative minds of Rebecca M. Sproul and Dancers.
