I'll be participating in this Movement Research Studies Project event on Wednesday, March 15, from 6:30 to 8 p.m. at Abrons Arts Center. From the MR website:
Movement Research's editors create a temporary "publication": a live site igniting conversation, debate and language around the current moment. Faced with extreme conservatism, how will New York City dance/performance people activate their power, access, resources and social missions? Questions will be posed and answered within a time limit. Categories include: culture in the current political climate; gossip; equity; formulating a new avant-garde in a socially responsible way. GAME SHOW!
Hosted by editors of the Movement Research Performance Journal and Critical Correspondence.
Gameshow players: Lydia Bell, Siobhan Burke, Jaime Shearn Coan, Yve Laris Cohen, Benjamin Akio Kimitch, Esther Neff, Ali Rosa-Salas, DeeArah Wright
RSVP and more info here. Hope to see you there!
