Cloth and Wood Come to Life When the Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts Presents the Philadelphia Premiere of Basil Twist’S Petrushka
March 21, 2011 CLOTH AND WOOD COME TO LIFE WHEN THE ANNENBERG CENTER FOR THE PERFORMING ARTS PRESENTS THE PHILADELPHIA PREMIERE OF BASIL TWIST’S PETRUSHKA April 6—16, 2011 "Brilliantly imagined, wonderfully expressive, and breathtakingly realized" New York Magazine (Philadelphia, March 21, 2011) — Cloth and wood come to life when the Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts presents the Philadelphia premiere of Petrushka, conceived, designed and directed by Basil Twist, April 6-16, 2011. A tour-de-force of music, movement, design and storytelling, Petrushka is a puppet- theatre version of the legendary 1911 Ballets Russes production Petrouchka, the story of a tragic love triangle between three magical creatures; the lovesick clown Petrushka, the alluring Ballerina and the dashing Moor, whose stories emerge amidst the swirl of the Russian carnival. For tickets or for more information, please visit AnnenbergCenter.org or call 215.898.3900. Tickets can also be purchased in person at the Annenberg Center Box Office. The program begins with an abstract fantasia of puppetry set to Stravinsky's Sonata for Two Pianos, performed by Russian identical twin pianists Julia and Irina Elkina. After a brief pause, the trio of puppets takes the stage and the Elkina Sisters perform their own special two-piano arrangement of Stravinsky’s score based on the composer’s four-hand version of the piece. Nine hidden puppeteers dressed and hooded in black – Lindsay Abromaitis-Smith, Kate Brehm, Jenni Campbell, Kristen Kammermeyer, Keri Lewis, Jonothon Lyons, Marc Petrosino, Lake Simons and Christopher Williams – employ the puppetry technique Japanese Bunraku to bring the four feet tall puppets to life. -
The Creative Arts at Brandeis by Karen Klein
The Creative Arts at Brandeis by Karen Klein The University’s early, ardent, and exceptional support for the arts may be showing signs of a renaissance.

Story the Viewp
Unpublished Notes on the Viewpoint of Story Based on the Work of Mary Overlie Wendell Beavers (Copyright 2000) Story The Viewpoint of Story has a particular provenance which is rooted in a moment of dance history which declared itself anti-story, anti literal and anti illusion.* Several of the most powerful storytelling experiences in the theater I ever witnessed were performances of the Grand Union, a group made up of participants of the Judson Dance Theater. Its members were perceived as both heroic and legendary performers and disgusting cheapeners of the magic that was supposed to happen in the theater. The divide was mostly generational and the result of a natural sort of overthrow of what came before. Their brand of open improvisational performance featured precipitous surprises and a kind of high drama difficult to explain because of the ordinary circumstances from which these events always managed somehow to arise. The next “thing” to happen always seemed inevitable after the fact, but completely impossible to anticipate the moment before. This was storytelling--which got labeled post-modern--but in retrospect had a peculiar link to shamanistic story telling. It may be jarring to link post modernism with shamanism because we associate shamanism with the cultivation and communication of spiritual or other worldly things. Postmodern performers of the sixties and seventies were looking into themselves and their immediate environment. They were communicating or pointing out the nature of the material world before us. There was not supposed to be anything otherworldly about it. The ordinary magic that they practiced and bequeathed to the next generation was quite subversive to the modern dance sensibility, not to mention the high art theater world of ballet etc. -
Barbara Dilley & Yvonne Rainer with Wendy Perron
Danspace Project Conversations Without Walls: Barbara Dilley & Yvonne Rainer with Wendy Perron November 21, 2020 Judy Hussie-Taylor Welcome to Danspace Project and our Conversation Without Walls. I'm Judy Hussie-Taylor, Executive Director & Chief Curator. I'm honored to welcome three people I hold in high esteem, Barbara Dilley, Yvonne Rainer, and Wendy Perron. Thank you all for joining us today to celebrate Wendy's new book "The Grand Union: Accidental Anarchists of Downtown Dance 1970-76" published by Wesleyan University Press. So this is an exciting occasion. I just quickly want to thank our Danspace staff and our behind the scenes wizards, especially Yolanda Royster and Ben Kimitch, for holding us all together today on the Zoom. So all three of our guests have extensive histories with Danspace Project. Barbara Dilley co-founded Danspace Project, along with Mary Overlie and Larry Fagin in 1974. Prior to that, Barbara was a member of Merce Cunningham's company from 1963 to 1968. She danced with Yvonne Rainer from 1966 to 1970 and was a member of the Grand Union, which you'll hear a lot about today. She was instrumental in the founding of Naropa University in Boulder, Colorado, which is where I met Barbara. She designed the dance department and served as the University's President from 1985 to 1993. Most recently, she is the author of "This Perfect Moment, Teaching Thinking Dancing," which is part autobiography, part workbook. Choreographer, filmmaker, and the author of many books, Yvonne Rainer was a co-founding member of Judson Dance Theater in 1962. -

Education Guide April 5 – June 6, 2018 Shifting Momentum: Abstract Art from the Noyes Collection Free Opening Reception: Second Friday, April 13, 2018 6:00 – 8:00 pm Curator’s Talk by Chung-Fan Chang: 6:00pm This show features abstract works by Dimitri Petrov, Lucy Glick, Robert Natkin, Jim Leuders, W.D. Bannard, Robert Motherwell, Frieda Dzubas, Alexander Liberman, David Johnston, Hulda Robbins, Wolf Kahn, Deborah Enight, Oscar Magnan, and Katinka Mann. Lucy Glick, Quiet Landing, oil on linen, 1986 Dimitri Petrov was born in Philadelphia in 1919, grew up in an anarchist colony in New Jersey and spent much of his career in Philadelphia. In 1977, he moved to Mount Washington, Massachusetts. Petrov later attended the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts and studied printmaking with Stanley Hayter at the Atelier 17 Workshop. He was a member of the Dada movement and a Surrealist painter and printmaker. He was also the editor of a surrealist newspaper, Instead, a member of the Woodstock Artists Association, and editor/publisher of publications including the “Prospero” series of poet-artist books "Letter Edged in Black". Lucy Glick, an artist whose vividly colored paintings were known for their bold lines and sense of movement was born in Philadelphia. Glick attended the Philadelphia College of Art from 1941 to 1943 and the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts from 1958 to 1962. Her paintings were a vehicle for expressing her emotions, usually with strong lines, energetic brush strokes and a luminous quality. Robert Natkin was born in Chicago in 1930 into a large Russian-Jewish immigrant family. -

What’s Next…..Who Knows?? Is a very fitting subtitle for our annual catalogue. What has happened in the past four-five months seems unimaginable, then again, it could be a blessing in disguise, a kind of wake-up call for all of us. Our global treatment of humanity, our planet’s environment, economic collapse, civil rights and politics have caused a boiling point in our society and then add the Covid-19 Pandemic to top things off and there you have “What’s Next…..Who Knows? One thing I know is art and the art market has literally been around forever and has weathered centuries of wars, economic crashes and many other global disasters and will continue to prevail perhaps in new ways to which it will need to reinvent itself. I believe a correction is taking place as has happened in every market throughout history when strained by historic events. The brick & mortar gallery model is becoming a thing of the past and the existence of art fairs in the near future is questionable regarding the current health situations for the dealers and the collectors who attend. I believe that a large group of galleries are going to close as their business models aren’t strong enough to survive these extreme times. -
Reflections on Nancy Stark Smith, Collaborating Founder of Contact Improvisation, Part 1 by Jonathan Stein
Photo: Ilya Domanov Reflections on Nancy Stark Smith, Collaborating Founder of Contact Improvisation, part 1 by Jonathan Stein Internationally known dancer, editor, writer, organizer and a collaborating founder of Contact Improvisation, Nancy Stark Smith, died on May 1st after an extraordinary life of fearlessly exploring new ways of making art, breaking gender norms, and communicating the ephemeral body-mind states of experiences of dance. She was in the initial group working with Steve Paxton, who originated Contact Improvisation, along with Nita Little, Daniel Lepkoff, Barbara Dilley, Mary Fulkerson, and Nancy Topf, among others. Influenced by the ground-breaking dance-theater experiments in improvisation of the Grand Union and Judson Dance Theater, she ignited a new revolution after the first public performance of Contact Improvisation in New York City in 1972 by propagating the work world-wide in a myriad of ways. In 1975, she co-founded with Lisa Nelson Contact Quarterly, a Vehicle for Moving Ideas, which has become a critical international journal on improvisation and somatics. In 1990, Nancy created the Underscore, a long-form dance improvisation structure that incorporated Contact Improvisation into a broader arena of improvisational dance practice. The Underscore is practiced around the world, including at the Global Underscore in June every year since 2000. She also developed her pedagogy, the States of Grace, which involved twelve arenas (“Pods”) of dance experience. Since her death CQ has created a Facebook page for remembrances, Nancy Stark Smith Harvest and a website, Honoring Nancy Stark Smith; and Dance Magazine has published Wendy Perron’s obituary. thINKingDANCE has invited movement artists, writers and others who knew Stark Smith or were influenced by her across the generations to offer their reflections.
