presents
Joanna Kotze
in two Studio Series work-in-process showings
June 1 – 2 at 6:00PM
New York, NY, May 15, 2012 – New York Live Arts’ 2011-2012 Studio Series presents two work-in-process showings by Joanna Kotze on June 1 – 2 at 6:00PM.
Kotze aims to rigorously explore the potential of the body in movement, challenging what might be habitual or expected. Her work-in-process titled it happened it had happened it is happening it will happen confronts the seductiveness of classifying, ordering, structuring, while attempting to hold on to the character of the unnameable, vulnerable, imaginable. Kotze, who holds a degree in architecture, examines the natural disorder of structured orders. Performers Stuart Singer and Netta Yerushalmy will join her for her Studio Series showings. (more…)

See Cléo from 5 to 7 in our theater this weekend!
On Saturday, May 19th @ 3pm, we’ll be screening the 1960s French Film, Cléo from 5 to 7 in the theater. The film is a real-time portrait of a singer (Corinne Marchand) set adrift in Paris as she awaits test results of a biopsy.
Spend the day with us! See the film, have some dinner at a nearby French restaurant, then come back and see Big Dance Theater’s re-invention of Cléo from 5 to 7, the the Bessie Award Winning Comme Toujours Here I Stand.
Big Dance Theater’s Comme Toujours Here I Stand runs May 16 — 19 at 7:30pm. More info here.
Cléo from 5 to 7 is May 19th at 3pm. More info and suggestions for dinner here.

Company Models: Big Dance Theater
Here is our third (and currently last) in a series of posts looking at dance company models. Previously, we examined John Jasperse and Ivy Baldwin‘s administrative processes. This week we look at Big Dance Theater.
What kind of staff do you have?
We have a part time manager/producer. We use 2 interns when we are in rehearsal. One of our performers (Molly Hickok) and me (Annie-B Parson) do admin work from home unpaid.
When and why did you decide to work with these people? How much does this group of workers shift from show to show?
Our producer was first an intern from DTW many years ago, and then became our Technical Director, then Production Manager and now Producer. He started as producer a few months ago.
If you don’t have a staff, what has kept you from hiring outside help?
We don’t have the money to hire more support.
Do you hire performers on a project to project basis, or do you operate as a consistent company of performers?
We have a group of performers that have worked on many pieces with us, some for over 15 years. We draw from this pool for each piece, but have yet to make a piece big enough to use all of them.
Are you 501c3 status or fiscally sponsored? Would you like to be? Why/why not?
We are 501c3 . You cannot get NYS funding without this status and they have been consistent supporters.
Are you currently fundraising and where could one contribute to your projects (please provide a way to donate if you have one)?
You can donate thru our web site!
Note: Donations can be made to support Big Dance Theater here.

Intimacy’s Many Facets: The New York Times on John Jasperse
“The form of dance theater that the choreographer John Jasperse develops in Fort Blossom revisited (2000/12) is often astonishing [...] Leaving the theater we are no longer quite what we were when we arrived.”
