Amanda Selwyn Dance Theatre presents IT'S A GAME
June 27-29, 2013 at 7:30pm
New York Live Arts

It’s a Game will be an evening-length dance theatre work that will bring a chess game to life through character, movement, line, pattern, relationship, and human drama. Inspired by the work of Alexander McQueen and the magic of Harry Potter, the piece will create a moving fantasy of power dynamics, competition, and strategy. With Selwyn’s fresh and vibrant movement language of extended limbs, physical risk, athleticism, gesture, energy, release, touch, and balance, she will activate emotional expression and offer many in-roads for audiences to make meaning for themselves.

Tickets are $30 ($20 for Live Arts members, students, and seniors) and are available at www.newyorklivearts.org or by phone at (212) 924-0077.

"Cinco Por Cinco."
Fri & Sat at 8 PM
Sun at 3 PM
May 17 to 19, 2013,
Theatre 80 Saint Marks

With a new program of innovative and edgy repertoire, Rebeca Tomás, brings her A Palo Seco Flamenco Company back to Theatre 80 Saint Marks from May 17 to 19, presenting a new production, "Cinco Por Cinco." Tomás, a fierce and feminine NY-based Flamenco artist, will direct her company of five dancers, two singers and three musicians in a show that promises to be true to her vision of upholding Flamenco's traditions while also pushing its boundaries and giving it a distinctive New York City feel.

The evening will feature the premier of two new choreographies. "Cinco por Cinco," the production's namesake, will feature the cast of five female dancers in a rhythmic call-and-response, each using one of five percussive elements within Flamenco: Zapateo (Footwork), Palmas (Rhythmic Hand-Clapping), El Abanico (the Spanish Fan), Castanuelas (Castanets), and el Baston (the Percussive Cane). The second piece, "La Farruca," which is a typically masculine-style of Flamenco dance, will be set as a duet for two females, clad in high-wasted pants and bolero jackets. The piece will capitalize on the linear nature of this dance style with its heel-turns and musically intricate footwork. Musical accompaniment will include guitar, violin, and a female vocalist who plays an integral role in the choreography.

Tickets $25-40. $20 Students/Seniors with valid ID at door. Box office (212) 388-0388 (Mon-Fri 1-5pm)

WE FALL DOWN, WE GET UP
Martha Graham Center for Contemporary Dance's Studio Theater Westbeth
May 17-18, 2013
Westbeth

RG Dance Projects presents We Fall Down, We Get Up featuring three pieces from choreographer and Artistic Director Rubén Graciani on May 17, 2013 at 8pm and May 18, 2013 at 3pm and 8pm at the Martha Graham Center for Contemporary Dance's Studio Theater at Westbeth.

The evening will include two works from the repertory - Swing and a Miss set to music by Richard Danielpour and Rapture, a multi-media duet to the music of Debussy. The program culminates with the new work, We Fall Down, We Get Up - a larger work with 5 dancers, 24 singers from the Broadway Community Chorus, and a "living" set by Philip Treviño.

We Fall Down, We Get Up, is an extension of a work begun at Skidmore College about the boundaries of identity. The new work is an exploration of one's boundaries; both those we create for ourselves and those we inherit. The work questions how much control we have over the "performance" of our identity if some of those identifying markers are more or less inherited and permanent. The singers will be part of a "living" set to which they are tethered, demarking the stage space with tangible boundaries for the dancers to either work through or be constrained by. The singers are not only performing with the dancers, but also creating and changing the dynamics of the performance space as a living, breathing set piece.

Tickets are $20 ($15 for students, seniors, and artists) and can be purchased at www.artful.ly/store/events/1111.
