Sundays on Broadway - November 15
Founded by choreographer and video artist Cathy Weis in spring 2014, the one-night-only events bring together both luminaries and newcomers of downtown performance, creating a space for artists to perform and discuss their work and processes with audiences in the intimate setting of Weis’s SoHo studio. Since its inception, Sundays on Broadway has presented the work of more than 200 choreographers, filmmakers, performers, musicians, and visual artists. Robert Greskovic of The Wall Street Journal writes that “while the atmosphere evokes New York in the 1970s, the artistry on view feels up to the minute.”
Sunday, November 15
Ellen Fisher | Eddy Levin & Hana van der Kolk | Cathy Weis and Lisa Kraus
Reckon so is a short solo work in progress by Ellen Fisher. Her image-based movement piece will revolve around various personae.
Eddy Levin and Hana van der Kolk share a performance of movement, touch, sound, and stillness that emerges from a longing for unencumbered curiosity, from their listening bodies as conduits for what is here and now, from a fierce love of life.
Cathy Weis and Lisa Kraus reprise their collaboration from two years ago to uncover more possibilities. Three movers, one captured on video in 1978. A large projection. Shadows. Shifting scales. Playing tag, sharing space, and offering a fitting frame for Steve Paxton’s delicious dancing. One of the many puzzles is how to make a historic dance document feel more kinetic.
All Sundays on Broadway events begin at 6pm. $5 to $20 suggested donation at the door. All donations go to the performers. WeisAcres is located at 537 Broadway, #3 (between Prince and Spring Streets), in Manhattan.
