We are an innovative local, national and international leader in contemporary performance. PS122’s HISTORY For over 30 years, Performance Space 122 has been a leading contemporary performance hub in New York City. PS122 provides support for audiences, artists and artistic practices, with an ambition to better engage in contemporary society and positively affect the cultural landscape of the East Village, New York City, the United States and the globe. Under the curatorial vision of Mark Russell (1985–2005) and Vallejo Gantner (2005–present), PS122 has presented over 25,000 artists from more than 20 different countries for hundreds of thousands of audience members since our beginning in 1980. Through PS122’s focus on audience experience, artistic support and the development of artistic practice, we have brought forward not only artists like John Leguizamo, Jonathan Ames, Eric Bogosian, the Blue Man Group and Annie Dorsen, who have gone on to make waves in commercial arenas like Broadway, cinema and television, but also artists who have triggered national debate about political and ethical issues. These include the original “NEA four,” Ethyl Eichelberger and more recently Young Jean Lee and Thomas Bradshaw, as well as artists who have radicalized aesthetic form, like Meredith Monk, Spalding Gray, Ron Athey, UPCOMING PERFORMANCES & Richard Maxwell, Elevator Repair Service, Radiohole, Adrienne EVENTS: Truscott, Rabih Mroué (Lebanon), Philippe Quesne (France) and Maria Hassabi.

  • Warlikowski's “Warsaw Cabaret”
    Warlikowski’s “Warsaw Cabaret”: Transmissions from the End of the World The premiere performance of “Warsaw Cabaret” at Nowy Teatr. Krzysztof Warlikowski shows his sense of humour with a play that we thought would be a warning against the brutal new wave. The most famous scene in Bob Fosse’s “Cabaret” starring Liza Minelli? A boy crisply singing an innocent song as others gradually join in and transform it into a show of Nazi strength – “Tomorrow belongs to me.” In the Oscar-winning musical, a couple of decadent Anglo-Saxons watches the rise of Nazism from their vantage point inside night-time lounges and champagne-soaked soirees. Warlikowski’s latest play from Warsaw in 2013 transports us back to Berlin of the 1930s; to a revue cabaret. The spectacular venue is a haven for those yearning to lose themselves in intensity and not think about the threat approaching to the tune of a military march. Could this be a warning against the resurgence of totalitarianism and the end of liberal democracy? The official premiere of “Warsaw Cabaret” is slated for 3 July at the Open’er Music Festival in Gdynia. Next, the show will head to Avignon, to Europe’s foremost theatre festival. But lucky viewers got a chance to see the play during a pre-premiere performance at the new home of Nowy Teatr – a former garbage truck garage in Mokotów transformed into a fascinatingly-raw performance space. Nazism and golden confetti The original 26 May premiere was pushed back because of an injury suffered by actress Magdalena Cielecka, who plays Sally Bowles, a girl who comes to Berlin in search of showbiz success.

In it I explore institutional archives and the metaphors of the archive as it operates in the academy, while focusing particularly on the way in which queerness may come to be archived. Throughout I use the analytic of performance. This work builds on and extends from crucial work in Queer studies, Performance Studies and Archival Studies.

Zoe Leonard’s work is a personal lament, a ferocious accounting, and a call to action. It is a call to a public that wants more from politicians and from political narratives; it is a call to a public that is enraged and fed up. It is a call to a public that needs the complexity of desire insisted on in the work. And it is a call to a public that is ready to mobilize their political desire and ready to make political demands. On the afternoon of November 6, 2016, one-hundred-plus people came together in New York City to watch and listen to an afternoon of performances and readings in response to I want a president.

Condition: New. Unabridged. Language: English . Brand New. Recently hailed as the greatest cabaret artist of [V s] generation in The New Yorker, Mx. Justin Vivian Bond makes a brilliant literary debut with this staggeringly candid and hilarious novella-length memoir. With a recent diagnosis of attention deficit disorder, and news that V s first lover from childhood has been imprisoned for impersonating an undercover police officer, Bond recalls in vivid detail coming of age as a trans kid. Always haunted by the knowledge of being different, Bond was further confused when the bully next door wanted to meet secretly. Their trysts went on for years, and made Bond acutely aware of sexual power and vulnerability. With inimitable style, Bond raises issues about LGBTQ adolescence, homophobia, parenting, and sexuality, while being utterly entertaining. Singer, songwriter, and Tony-nominated performance artist Mx. Justin Vivian Bond is an Obie, Bessie, and Ethyl Eichelberger Award winner. As one half of the performance duo Kiki and Herb, Bond has toured the world, headlining at Carnegie Hall, the Sydney Opera House, and London s Queen Elizabeth Hall, and starring in a Tony nominated run on Broadway, Kiki and Herb Alive on...

  • The Glimmerglass Festival
    A 2017 Guide FEATURE ARTICLE Training Opera’s Next Generation A Tale of Two Festivals April 2017 Festivals Editor’s Note In our largest and most varied Guide to Summer Festivals yet, we focus on a common thread: training the next generation of performers and the artistic personnel who support them. At many festivals, young artists receive private lessons, coaching sessions, master classes, or all of the above during the day. By night they are either performing, observing the seasoned pros who train them by day, or a combination of the two. But honing or developing the skills of tomorrow’s generation of musicians is only part of the equation. It’s summertime, after all, and while the living may not exactly be “easy,” it’s certainly a lot more relaxed than during the season or school year. Consider the difference between waiting in the green-room line post-concert A 2017 Guide to shake the maestro’s hand vs. running into him in the festival cafeteria line, or at the local pub after the concert, or on a morning jog. Such is the kind of cross-fertilization for which festivals are known, and one of the reasons they are such ideal settings for rising artists. Sometimes the trainees are fully integrated into the schedule, such as at the Santa Fe Opera, where young artists are featured, often in leading roles. Sometimes they work independently of the main event, such as at Tanglewood, where the Tanglewood Music Center Orchestra, for instance, is comprised entirely of TMC Fellows and plays its own concerts, alongside the center-stage Boston Symphony Orchestra (whose members form much of the faculty).

    Xaque Gruber: The Afterglow Festival Invades Provincetown This Week 3/8/13 12:11 PM The Afterglow Festival Invades Provincetown This Week If you've never visited Provincetown before, there's no time like the present -- literally. This week, about 400 years after the first Puritans set foot on the sandy shores of Cape Cod's storied tip, a vastly different type of pil- grim arrives in P-town as the alternative-theater-a-thon known as the Afterglow Festival takes residence at the Crown & Anchor. For six nights (Sept. 11-16), the best of America's very-left-of-center cabaret acts will thrill and provoke, culminating with an intriguing work in progress by festival co-founder John Cameron Mitchell (director of Hedwig & the Angry Inch and Shortbus). Afterglow's Justin Vivian Bond We spoke to Mitchell to find out more about the Festival, now in its second year: A couple of years ago, [author/producer] Quinn Cox and I were talking about the rich history of Provincetown as the birthplace of modern American theater and a longtime sanctuary for so many queerish New York artists. We thought we might rebuild the underground performance railroad that used to run between the two towns. Quinn, the conductor of the train, will bring the best of downtown cabaret, performance, and music for a week in the gorgeous Indian summer of Cape Cod. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/xaque-gruber/the-afterglow-festival-invades-provincetown-this-week_b_1869748.html?
