Fall Dance Season preview
http://www.thirteen.org/sundayarts/blog/ballet/plunging-into-the-fall-dance-season/871/
Next week at the Chocolate Factory in Long Island City (Sep 8 – 18), Brian Rogers collaborates with Madeline Best on Selective Memory, including a live-time video performance that taps into relationships, memories, and trying to locate the truth. Danspace Project presents the third iteration of its excellent platform series from Sep 22 – Oct 30, curated by Trajal Harrell and titled “certain difficulties, certain joy.” This core sample artist’s point of view is one of those ideas that’s been long overdue in these parts. The Euro-feeling platform comprises several performances, dialogues, and a catalogue. DTW‘s slate, in addition to some of the Crossing the Line events, includes the return of a Faye Driscoll opus, Neil Greenberg, Alain Buffard, and Yanira Castro works.
Rounding out this cursory look at the fall, additional events I’ve flagged include Seven Works by Trisha Brown at the Whitney, including Walking on the Wall; Ivy Baldwin and Neal Medlyn at the Chocolate Factory; Cedar Lake, Sankai Juku, and Batsheva at the Joyce; the big Fall for Dance festival at City Center; and New York City Ballet’s first fall season, with welcome reprisals of Ratmansky’s Namouna and Chris Wheeldon’s Estancia, plus a new work by Benjamin Millepied. And there are still hundreds of other events to ponder. Time to get busy!
