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.

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

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,
