Kate Weare Company presents KATE WEARE COMPANY Kate Weare, Artistic Director Douglas Gillespie, Assistant Director Julian De Leon, Rehearsal Director Tuesday, June 21-Thursday, June 23 at 8:00pm Reynolds Industries Theater Performance: 50 minutes Marksman (World Premiere) Choreography Kate Weare Dancers and Creative Collaborators Julian De Leon, Kayla Farrish, Douglas Gillespie, Kellie Ann Lynch, Thryn Saxon, Ryan Rouland Smith Original Music and Sound Design Curtis Robert Macdonald, featuring performances from Bobby Avey (piano), Patrick Breiner (tenor saxophone), Ari Chersky (electric guitar), Curtis Macdonald (alto saxophone, ukelin), Alon Tayar (piano), Christopher Tordini (acoustic bass), Kyle Wilson (melodica) Set Design and Fabric Imagery Clifford Ross Lighting Design Mike Faba Costume Design Sarah Cubbage Associate Costume Design Maria Ozmen Costume Construction Jennifer Fadel, Mary Readinger Choreographer's statement: I've always been thrilled by the willfulness of formation in nature; a tiny sprout ruptures the earth on its way out, the sea rhythmically rubs a sharp object smooth. This energetic process is evident to me in our own formation and relations as human beings. I marvel at the intensity that delivers nascency to form, with a focus so singular it can only be life force at play. The title of this dance comes from my fascination with a book from the 1950s called Zen in the Art of Archery, chronicling a man's pursuit of the venerable art of Japanese bow marksmanship. This archery practice centers around a simultaneous loosening and focusing of energy as a spiritual path toward accuracy and self-development. The book articulates a beautiful concept of forming while being formed, playing while being played, aiming while being aimed. As humans we may practice willfulness and seek control, yet nature pours through us still; we are formed and transformed by it with an awe-inspiring accuracy. "You must hold the drawn bowstring," answered the Master, "like a little child holding the proffered finger. It grips it so firmly that one marvels at the strength of the tiny fist. And when it lets the finger go, there is not the slightest jerk. Do you know why? Because a child doesn’t think, 'I will now let go of the finger in order to grasp this other thing.' Completely unself-consciously, without purpose, it turns wholly from one thing to the other, and we would say that it was playing with the things, were it not equally true that the things are playing with the child." Marksman was co-commissioned by The Joyce Theater and the American Dance Festival with support from the SHS Foundation and the Charles L. and Stephanie Reinhart Fund. The creation of Marksman was supported by the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs, The New York Community Trust, the CalArts Evelyn Sharp Summer Choreographic Residency Program and was created in part during residencies at The Tisch Dance Residency Festival. ADF’s presentation of Marksman is made possible by the New England Foundation for the Arts’ National Dance Project, with lead funding from the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation and The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, with additional support from the National Endowment for the Arts. ABOUT THE ARTISTIC DIRECTOR KATE WEARE (Choreographer and Artistic Director) is recognized as a preeminent American choreographer whose dances are lucid, layered, and visually sophisticated. Raised by a painter and a printmaker in Oakland, CA, Weare draws on visual art sources, language, poetry, contemporary music, psychology, and nature in her work. Called by Dance Magazine, “the voice of the it’s complicated generation,” Weare just celebrated her company’s 10th anniversary season at BAM. Recent awards include The Guggenheim Foundation Fellowship Award in 2014, Inaugural BAM Fisher Artist-in-Residency and Commission Award in 2013, White Bird’s Barney Creative Prize in 2015, Inaugural Evelyn Sharp Summer Artist-in-Residency at CalArts in 2014, The Joyce Theater Creative Residency Awards in both 2014 and 2011, and the Princess Grace Fellowship in 2009. Weare’s 2013 debut in Next Wave Festival led to her Company’s 2015 season at BAM Fisher as part of the BAM/DeVos Professional Development Program. Companies worldwide including Scottish Dance Theater have commissioned Weare to set work on their dancers, most recently Cleveland’s Groundworks Dance Theater and ODC/San Francisco in a co-commission with White Bird’s Barney Creative Prize.

    Leaning Duets © James Owen ABOUT THE COMPANY Trisha Brown Dance Company (TBDC) is a post-modern dance company dedicated to the performance and preservation of the work of Founding Artistic Director and Choreographer, Trisha Brown. Established in 1970, TBDC has toured throughout the world presenting the work, teaching and building relationships with audiences and artists alike. Brown engaged collaborators who are themselves leaders in music, theater and the visual arts, including visual artists Robert Rauschenberg, Donald Judd, and Elizabeth Murray and musicians Laurie Anderson, John Cage, and Alvin Curran, to name a few. With these partners, Brown created an exceptionally varied body of work, with premieres and performances for NYC audiences and international counterparts. When Brown retired as head of her Company in 2013, the Board appointed longtime Company members Diane Madden and Carolyn Lucas as Associate Artistic Directors with the mandate that they present her dances in a variety of spaces, indoors and out, proscenium and alternative; develop, deepen and expand the Company’s educational initiatives; and treat the Company’s archive as a living organism to be used to better understand her work, in particular, and dance in general. To complement and augment the touring, TBDC is offering Trisha Brown: In Plain Site, working closely with presenters worldwide in creating a specific program for the venues or sites they select, adapting Brown’s broad range of works into a site-specific performance experience. Special focus is put on the audience engagement at each venue, breaking down access barriers, and providing a more intimate experience to an audience that includes families and people less familiar with modern dance.

  • Mikky Ekko Has Come Home. He Recorded His 2015 Debut Album
    Mikky Ekko has come home. He recorded his 2015 debut album, Time, in places as far-flung as London, Stockholm, and Los Angeles, plus any point on the compass where inspiration struck while he was on tour with Justin Timberlake, One Republic and Jessie Ware. But he wanted to record Fame, his next album, in the city that had proved both a permanent address and an inspiration for him since moving there in 2005 to attend college. It’s said that people have lucky cities, a geographic location where they seem to flourish or feel that they are their best selves. Although born in Shreveport, Louisiana, with its rich history of country rock and electric blues, Ekko found such a place in Nashville. It allowed him the freedom to be who he wanted to be — starting with those early gigs he played at 12th and Porter with slashes of red painted across his chiseled face. It informed the haunting music of his largely a cappella 2009 dreamscape Strange Fruit, a five-song EP he recorded while still a student at nearby Middle Tennessee State University that had far more in common with Brian Eno than it did Billie Holiday. A restless creator — sometimes writing two songs a day, starting most days at 4:45 am — Ekko quickly followed up Strange Fruit with two companion EPs the next year: Reds and Blues. One of the songs on Reds, "Who Are You, Really,” made its way to underground beatsmith Clams Casino, known mainly for his work with ASAP Rocky, Lil B and The Weeknd.

  • Trisha Brown 1936-2017 Founding Artistic Director & Choreographer
    © Marc Ginot, 2010 TRISHA BROWN 1936-2017 FOUNDING ARTISTIC DIRECTOR & CHOREOGRAPHER One of the most acclaimed and influential choreographers and dancers of her time, Trisha Brown’s groundbreaking work forever changed the landscape of art. From her roots in rural Aber- deen, Washington, her birthplace, Brown arrived in New York in 1961. A student of Anna Halprin, Brown participated in the choreographic composition workshops taught by Robert Dunn – from which Judson Dance Theater was born – greatly contributing to the fervent of interdisciplinary cre- ativity that defined 1960s New York. Expanding the physical behaviors that qualified as dance, she discovered the extraordinary in the everyday, and brought tasks, rulegames, natural movement and improvisation into the making of choreography. With the founding of the Trisha Brown Dance Company in 1970, Brown set off on her own distinc- tive path of artistic investigation and ceaseless experimentation, which extended for forty years. The creator of over 100 choreographies, six operas, and a graphic artist, whose drawings have earned recognition in numerous museum exhibitions and collections, Brown’s earliest works took impetus from the cityscape of downtown SoHo, where she was a pioneering settler. In the 1970s, as Brown strove to invent an original abstract movement language – one of her singular achieve- ments – it was art galleries, museums and international exhibitions that provided her work its most important presentation context. Indeed, contemporary projects to introduce choreography to the museum setting are unthinkable apart from the exemplary model that Brown established. Brown’s movement vocabulary, and the new methods that she and her dancers adopted to train their bodies, remain one of her most pervasively impactful legacies within international dance practice.
