Fridays at Noon | BENJAMIN KIMITCH: COMPELLING SIMPLICITY
Benjamin Kimitch curates a program of choreographers – Maggie Bennett, Andy de Groat and Molly Poerstel – whose artistic voices share a quiet and compelling simplicity, even as they embrace complex construction. De Groat revives his Fan Dance of 1978, with music by Michael Galasso, performed by a multi-generational cast that includes some of the original cast. De Groat describes Fan Dance is a short hymn to freedom based on a geometrical ensemble and variations in a constantly changing space. Poerstel explores naturalism, heritage and autobiography and investigates the emotional terrain of the body in her work-in-progress The Highlands. Performed by Hadar Ahuvia and Alice McDonald, the dance is set to music by Sam Taylor. Maggie Bennett presents Through Frame, a work-in-progress that deconstructs the idea of a frame and asks if the body and our interior selves can frame space rather than the external world framing our bodies.
Fridays at Noon tickets are $5 and can be purchased in advance online or at the 92Y Box Office in the lobby.

In 1935, what became 92nd Street Y’s Harkness Dance Center provided a home to the fledgling American modern dance movement and its leader, Martha Graham. In the decades that followed, every great American dancer and choreographer – visionaries including Alvin Ailey, Merce Cunningham, Jerome Robbins, Agnes de Mille, Robert Joffrey and Donald McKayle – spent time at 92Y, building the foundation for modern dance as we know it. Through the generous support of the Harkness Foundation for Dance, the Dance Center continues this proud tradition of dance teaching, creation and performance, serving the professional world and the community at large. Technique classes range from ballet and modern dance to hip-hop and Flamenco. Rounding out the program are several performance programs including the annual 92nd Street Y Harkness Dance Festival; a professional development program for dance educators; and several teen dance troupes.
