FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: New York City Center announces re‐opening for in‐person performances with full calendar of programs for 2021 – 2022 season Dance programming highlights include Fall for Dance Festival, TWYLA NOW, and the launch of two new annual dance series Additional artistic team members for Encores! 2022 season include choreographers Camille A. Brown for The Life and Jamal Sims for Into the Woods Tickets start at $35 or less and go on sale for most performances Sep 8 for members; Sep 21 for general public July 13, 2021 (New York, NY) – New York City Center President & CEO Arlene Shuler today announced a full calendar of programming for the 2021 – 2022 season, reopening the landmark theater to the public in October 2021. This momentous return to in‐person live performances includes the popular dance and musical theater series audiences have loved throughout the years and new programs featuring iconic artists of today. Manhattan’s first performing arts center, New York City Center has presented the best in music, theater, and dance to generations of New Yorkers for over seventy‐five years. “I am delighted to announce a robust schedule of performances for our 2021 – 2022 season and once again welcome audiences to our historic theater on 55th Street,” said Arlene Shuler, President & CEO. “We have all been through so much in the past sixteen months, but with the support of the entire City Center community of artists, staff, and supporters, we have upheld our legacy of resilience and innovation, and we continue to be here for our loyal audience and the city for which we are proudly named. We are committed to supporting artists and providing opportunities for them to create and perform and to engage with our audience. It is in this spirit that we are launching two new annual dance programs this season and commissioning new works for the Fall for Dance Festival, led by Stanford Makishi, VP and Artistic Director, Dance Programs. We are also beginning the next chapter of our beloved Encores! series under the leadership of Artistic Director Lear deBessonet, Music Director Rob Berman, and Creative Producing Director Clint Ramos.” New York City Center has been closed to the public since March 12, 2020—days before it was to open the second production of the Encores! 2020 series. The institution shifted its programming to digital presentations starting in summer 2020 and began bringing artists back to the stage in the fall to film dance and music theater concerts, which reached a global audience on City Center’s digital platform. As the organization prepares for a return to in‐person performances, City Center is closely monitoring the guidelines established by public health authorities to welcome back audiences feeling safe, comfortable, and secure knowing what is expected upon their return. Updates to City Center's ventilation systems are being implemented, as well as a comprehensive slate of new cleaning protocols. City Center is also launching mobile ticketing this season, making arrival to the theater a seamless and touchless experience. 2021 Fall Season The 2021 – 2022 season opens with the popular Fall for Dance Festival, October 13 – 24, which annually signals the start of the fall dance season in New York City. The Festival will consist of the usual five programs each featuring three different groups of artists and companies, presented this year without intermissions. Continuing to provide artists with the valuable opportunity to create new work, four New York City Center commissions will be presented by tap dance superstar Ayodele Casel, modern dance legend Lar Lubovitch for Adrian Danchig‐Waring and Joseph Gordon, The Verdon Fosse Legacy reconstruction of a trio of dances featuring Georgina Pazcoguin that were originally created for Tony Award‐winning actor and dancer Gwen Verdon, and a co‐commission with Vail Dance Festival by sought‐ after choreographer Justin Peck. In keeping with City Center’s mission of accessibility, all the tickets for Fall for Dance are $15. Tickets go on sale on September 19 at 11am. The Annual Gala Presentation will open with a benefit performance followed by a gala dinner on November 10, with performances through November 14. Funds raised by all seven performances allow City Center to continue to provide access to the performing arts by subsidizing education programs and affordable tickets throughout the year. Program details will be announced shortly. The world’s most iconic living choreographer Twyla Tharp is celebrating her 80th birthday at City Center on November 17 – 21 with TWYLA NOW—a program of signature works and two world premieres. Stars including Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater’s James Gilmer and Jacquelin Harris; American Ballet Theatre’s Aran Bell and Catherine Hurlin; Tony‐nominated actor and dancer Robert Fairchild; and New York City Ballet’s Sara Mearns, Roman Mejia, and Tiler Peck are joined by an ensemble of young performers for this once‐in‐a‐lifetime celebration. Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, New York City Center’s Principal Dance Company and America’s beloved cultural ambassador to the world, returns to the stage for a much‐anticipated annual season in their “home” theater from December 1 through December 19. Visionary Artistic Director Robert Battle marks a decade of leading the Company forward and will present Ailey’s renowned dancers in a diverse repertory of premieres, new productions, and favorites featuring the original work of Ailey Resident Choreographer Jamar Roberts and classics by Alvin Ailey. The season celebrates the 50th anniversary of the tour‐de‐force solo Cry which premiered at City Center in 1971. Alvin Ailey created this solo on his stunning muse Judith Jamison as a birthday present for his mother and dedicated to “all Black women everywhere, especially our mothers.” 2022 Winter ꟾ Spring Season The Encores! 2022 series launches Lear deBessonet’s first season as Encores! Artistic Director, alongside Encores! Music Director Rob Berman and Encores! Producing Creative Director Clint Ramos. The Tony‐ honored series opens February 2 – 6 with The Tap Dance Kid, music by Henry Krieger, lyrics by Robert Lorick, and book by Charles Blackwell. Tony Award‐winning director Kenny Leon (A Raisin in the Sun) leads this revival, bringing a fresh take to the production with new tap sequences by choreographer Jared Grimes (After Midnight) and concert adaptation by Lydia Diamond (Stick Fly). Broadway’s Joseph Joubert (Motown the Musical) will music direct The Tap Dance Kid. Following is twelve‐time Tony‐nominated musical (including Best Musical) The Life, March 16 – 20, with music by Cy Coleman, lyrics by Ira Gasman, and book by David Newman, Ira Gasman, and Cy Coleman. Emmy and Tony Award‐winning artist Billy Porter reclaims this musical as the production’s adapter and director to bring forth the gritty, dangerous, and exciting decadence of 1980s New York City and an authenticity to the lives of sex workers. The production features choreography by Tony‐nominated choreographer and Encores! Creative Advisor Camille A. Brown (Choir Boy). Into the Woods, the third show in the series, ushers in a new annual tradition at Encores! which celebrates an iconic American musical and the ways theater connects us across generations. From May 4 – 15, a special two‐week run of Stephen Sondheim (music and lyrics) and James Lapine’s (book) Tony Award‐winning musical, directed by Lear deBessonet, will be the first of these celebrations to bring together Broadway’s brightest talents with a multi‐generational group including New York City public school students. The production will feature choreography by film and television’s Jamal Sims (film: Aladdin) and Encores! Music Director Rob Berman. Two New Annual Spring Dance Series City Center will also launch two new dance series in spring 2022. Artists at the Center, March 3 – 6, gives City Center’s extraordinary family of artists the platform to conceive and curate their own programs. Award‐winning New York City Ballet principal dancer Tiler Peck will launch this annual event with a program of her design, performing alongside a variety of dancers and musicians. The program includes the world premiere of a New York City Center commission set to music composed by jazz legend and recent Academy Award‐winner Jon Batiste, alongside works by William Forsythe, Alonzo King, Jennifer Weber, and Peck herself. The new annual City Center Dance Festival will be presented from March 24 through April 10. The inaugural Festival showcases New York companies making their triumphant return to the City Center stage after more than a year away: Ballet Hispánico, Dance Theatre of Harlem, Martha Graham Dance Company, and Paul Taylor Dance Company. Continuing to grow an audience of dance lovers, accessible tickets are available through the Access City Center Club, which provides exclusive ticket offers for anyone 35 and under. The Studio 5 series of conversations and performances is an opportunity to hear from today’s great dance artists in the intimate setting of City Center’s historic studios. Events throughout the season feature artists from the mainstage programs—Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, Artists at the Center | Tiler Peck, Fall for Dance Festival, and more. A special program with Dance Lab New York focuses on female ballet choreographers of color. Tickets and General Information Tickets start at $35 and go on sale September 8 for members and September 20 for the general public for Artists at the Center, City Center Dance Festival, Studio 5, and TWYLA NOW.

    Schulhoffs Flammen

    ERWIN SCHULHOFF Zur Wiederentdeckung seiner Oper „Flammen“ Kloster-Sex, Nekrophilie, alles eins Schulhoffs "Flammen". Entdeckung im "Don Juan"-Zyklus des Theaters an der Wien. Am Anfang war das Ich. Dann das Es. Und das Überich erst, lieber Himmel, da hat sich die Menschheit etwas eingebrockt, als sie alle Dämme brechen ließ und den Kaiser wie den Lieben Gott gute Männer sein ließen. Nichts klärt uns über die Befindlichkeit der Sigmund- Freud-Generation besser auf als die Kunst der Ära zwischen 1900 und 1933, ehe die Politik - wie zuvor schon in der sowjetischen Diktatur - auch in 9. August 2006 SINKOTHEK Deutschland die ästhetischen Koordinatensysteme diktierte. Beobachtet man in Zeiten, wie die unsre eine ist, die diversen sexuellen, religiösen und sonstigen Wirrnisse, von denen die damalige Menschheit offenbar fasziniert war, fühlt man sich, wie man im Kabarett so schön sang, "apres". Sex im Kloster, Nekrophilie, alles eins. Tabus kennen wir nicht mehr; jedenfalls nicht in dieser Hinsicht. Das Interesse an einem Werk wie "Flammen", gedichtet von Max Brod frei nach Karel Josef Benes, komponiert von dem 1942 von den Nationalsozialisten ermordeten Erwin Schulhoff, ist denn auch vorrangig musikhistorischer Natur. Es gab 9. August 2006 SINKOTHEK mehr zwischen Schönberg und Lehar als unsere Schulweisheit sich träumen lässt. Erwin Schulhoff war ein Meister im Sammeln unterschiedlichster Elemente aus den Musterkatalogen des Im- wie des Expressionismus. Er hatte auch ein Herz für die heraufdämmernde Neue Sachlichkeit, ohne deshalb Allvater Wagner zu verleugnen. Seine "Flammen", exzellent instrumentiert mit allem Klingklang von Harfe, Glocke und Celesta, das jeglichen alterierten Nonenakkord wie ein Feuerwerk schillern und glitzern lässt, tönen mehr nach Schreker als nach Hindemith - auch wenn das einleitende Flötensolo beinahe den keusch-distanzierten Ton der "Cardillac"- Musik atmet.

  • The Hell Scene and Theatricality in Man and Superman

    The Hell Scene and Theatricality in Man and Superman

    ２３３ The Amphitheatre and Ann’s Theatre: The Hell Scene and Theatricality in Man and Superman Yumiko Isobe Synopsis: Although George Bernard Shaw’s Man and Superman (1903) is one of his most important dramatic works, it has seldom been staged. This is because, in terms of content and direction, there are technical issues that make it difficult to stage. In particular, Act Three features a dream in Hell, where four dead characters hold a lengthy philosophical symposium, has been considered independent of the main plot of John Tanner and Ann Whitefield. Tanner’s dream emphatically asserts its theatricality by the scenery, the amphitheatre in the Spanish desert where Tanner dozes off. The scene’s geography, which has not received adequate attention, indicates the significance of the dream as a theatre for the protagonist’s destiny with Ann. At the same time, it suggests that the whole plot stands out as a play by Ann, to which Tanner is a “subject.” The comedy thus succeeds in expressing the playwright’s philosophy of the Superman through the play-within-a- play and metatheatre. Introduction Hell in the third act of Man and Superman: A Comedy and a Philosophy (1903) by George Bernard Shaw turns into a philosophical symposium, as the subtitle of the play suggests, and this intermediate part is responsible for the difficulties associated with the staging of the play. The scene, called “the Hell scene” or “Don Juan in Hell,” has been cut out of performances of the whole play, and even performed separately; however, the interlude by itself has attracted considerable attention, not only from stage managers and actors, but also from critics, provoking a range of multi-layered examinations.
