Dancers will appear several times a day, in celebration of the opening on September 19 of The Dragon’s Gift: The Sacred Arts of Bhutan at the Rubin Museum of Art (on view through January).

Silver-Brown Dance Company (www.silverbrowndance.org) OASIS 5
Thursday, September 11th at 7pm
Brooklyn Bridge Park, in DUMBO.

OASIS 5 is presented in partnership with the Brooklyn Bridge Park Conservancy and the Office of the Brooklyn Borough President.

Now in its fifth year, the OASIS series returns to Brooklyn Bridge Park for this free outdoor community event that uses the NYC skyline as both inspiration and backdrop. Performed by six dancers on the edge of the water, the piece will include all new original choreography created by SBD’s Artistic Director Eva Bordeaux Silverstein.

This memorial dance series was conceived to provide a collective community observance of the 9/11 anniversary. The performance is family-oriented, promising an opportunity for entertainment and reflection for all ages. The OASIS title refers to Brooklyn Borough President Marty Markowitz’s christening of the park as “an urban oasis.” Ms. Silverstein takes her inspiration from this idea, creating a new site-specific dance each year that honors the urban landscape of NYC while celebrating the human spirit.

Tribeca Performing Arts Center Announces Fall 2008 Dance Season

October 9 - 11 at 8pm
dre.dance & Rob Reddy
the people
Contemporary dance company dre.dance (Andrew Palermo & Taye Diggs) and composer Rob Reddy embark on a world premiere, evening-length work. "the people" combines Reddy's unique and stirring sound with dre.dance's propulsive and emotional choreography. The interpretive narrative work weaves text through choreography and live compositions to illuminate issues of social poignancy and opportune consideration. Andrew Palermo & Taye Diggs make up dre.dance, a New York City-based contemporary dance company that fuses the extraordinary with the everyday. Emotion and power drive the company's aesthetic, while simultaneously maintaining the directors' most important quality, authenticity. Saxophonist and composer Rob Reddy is "an impressive and open-minded tunesmith," raves AllAboutJazz.com. "Since the early 1990s, Rob Reddy has been forging a way uniquely his own as a jazz composer, saxophone player and bandleader in New York," says Downtown Express.

November 6 - 8 at 8pm
Ellis Wood Dance
The Falcon Project
Queen Elizabeth I wore a badge of a falcon as a reminder that females of this species are larger than the males. In fascination with Elizabeth's "marriage" to her country and label, "The Virgin Queen," Wood uses female icons past and present as inspiration for this new work. Using a theatrical edge, a feminine circular theme, and movement and text created to express ideas on gender, the dancers become a metaphor for the "queen," whose main asset is the ability to unabashedly embrace her power to its fullest. Ellis Wood choreographs and teaches at universities both nationally and abroad. Wood was nominated for a 2006 United States Artists Fellowship and was awarded a 2006 Joyce SoHo Residency. She received a 2002 NYFA Fellowship in choreography, and was one of ten choreographers in NYC nominated for the Emerging Choreographer Award given by the Downtown Arts Festival in collaboration with the Colbert Foundation. The piece was developed through Tribeca PAC's Artist in Residence Program.

December 4 - 6 at 8pm
Christal Brown's INSPIRIT
Dreams and Visions
Dreams and Visions tests the states of sleep and wakefulness by creating moving tapestries that teeter on the precipice between fantasy and reality. To infuse this movement-scape with an intangible sense of foundation, Brown uses both projection and an original sound score created by Zimbabwean composer Fahari Malianga. Christal Brown toured nationally with Chuck Davis' African-American Dance Ensemble and internationally with Andrea E. Woods/Souloworks. Brown performed with Gesel Mason Performance in Takoma Park, MD, and spent three seasons as a principal performer for the Urban Bush Women. She is the Founding Artistic Director of INSPIRIT, a performance ensemble and educational conglomerate dedicated to bringing female choreographers together to collaborate and show new work, expanding the views of women of all ages, and being a constant source of inspiration to its audience as well as members. INSPIRIT has been honored to show work at Aaron Davis Hall, St. Marks Church, Joyce Soho, The Lincoln Theater of Washington, DC, and various other venues across the country.

All performances are Thursday - Saturday at 8pm. Tickets are $25, $15 students/seniors. For tickets or more information call 212-220-1460 or visit www.TribecaPAC.org.
