For Immediate Release Press Information: 718-636-4129 I For Immediate Release Press Information: 718-636-4129 THE 1992 NEXT WAVEFESTIVAL CONTINUESWITH THE NEWYORK PREMIERE OF DAVIDROUSSEVE AND HIS COMPANYREALITY IN THE FINAL INSTALLMENTOF A FOUR-YEAR DANCE-THEATERSERIES URBANSCENES/CREOLE DREAMS NOVEMBER10, 12-14, 1992 - BAMMAJESTIC THEATER The 10th Anniversary/1992 NEXT WAVEFestival, sponsored by Philip Morris Companies Inc., presents the New York premiere of David Rousseve's dance-theater piece Urban Scenes/Creole Dreams on November 10, 12-14, 1992 at the BAMMajestic Theater. Performed by Rousseve and his company REALITY, the evening length work juxtaposes the vivid life of the late Thelma Arceneaux, Rousseve's Creole grandmother, with Rousseve's own stories of growing up and facing some of the same racial problems and personal losses in the 1990s. This site­ specific work, commissioned, in part, by The Dance Center at Columbia College, Performing Arts Chicago, the Brooklyn Academy of Music, and The Walker Arts Center, will feature Los Angeles based pop/gospel singer B.J. Crosby and New York based Lavender Light: The Black and People of All Colors Lesbian and Gay Gospel Choir performing original gospel music by Ysaye Barnwell, best known for her work with Sweet Honey in the Rock. In addition, Don Meisner has composed original "house" music which includes elements of rap, rhythm and blues, and pop music. The stage will be transformed into a series of settings, including the decayed elegance of New Orleans, and a sea of cornfields, by set designer Debby Lee Cohen. Lighting design will be by Tony Giovannetti, and sound design by Rick Sorois. Urban Scenes/Creole Dreams is the eighth and final segment of the series Pull Your Head to the Moon ... Tales of Creole Women which is based on the life stories of John and Thelma Arceneaux, David Rousseve's grandparents. In its entirety, the series follows a Creole woman's life from childhood in her hometown of Lafayette, Louisiana, to her death in Houston, Texas. Urban Scenes/Creole Dreams juxtaposes the losses of this woman's cousin and husband with present day losses to AIDS, and examines the timeless quest for spirituality and self-dignity in the face of loss and oppression. Dance magazine has called these pieces "astonishing ... stunning and vibrant work." The Village Voice refers to the works as "powerful dance theater with significance and emotion." Presented in New York and throughout the United States, the "Creole" series has attracted a large and diverse audience, imparting a message that "transcends racial and cultural boundaries," (Rocky Mountain Press). Performances have been presented at PS 122, The Kitchen, Danspace, La Mama ETC, Creative Time, Dixon Place, Henry Street Settlement and the Lower Manhattan Cultural Council in New York City as well as venues in San Francisco, Los Angeles, Seattle, Houston, San Diego and at the Colorado Dance Festival in Boulder. Urban Scenes/Creole Dreams had its world premiere at the Blackstone Theater in Chicago under the auspices of the Dance Center at Columbia College and Performing Arts Chicago. The Chicago Tribune proclaimed it "Haunting ... breathtaking ... brilliant ... a blast of freshness ... a turning point (in dance)." David Rousseve is a writer, director, choreographer and performer whose works fuse elements of dance, storytelling, and performance art with African American traditional and pop culture, creating a highly original form of expressionistic dance-theater. Born in Texas with Louisiana-Creole roots, he graduated Magna Cum Laude from Princeton University in 1981 and moved to New York where he danced with Stephanie Skura, Yoshiko Chuma and the School of Hard Knocks, Kathryn Pesin, Senta Driver/Harry, Toronto Dance Theatre and Jean Erdman. In 1986 he began creating his own movement/theater works, and in 1988 he formed REALITY, his dance company comprised primarily of African American women. more ...

  • Dear Neighbor, I Will Start by Addressing the Protests We Have Seen
    Dear Neighbor, I will start by addressing the protests we have seen take place across the country in response to the murders of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor by police officers. To say I’m appalled by these killings is an understatement. It is beyond devastating to witness how black people are dehumanized in this country. We must all look to systemic changes to undo the legacy of hatred and violence that plagues our city, state and country. Two of my legislative colleagues Diana Richardson and Zellnor Myrie both went to observe protests as elected officials. Both were identified as such, but even still were pepper sprayed and Zellnor was handcuffed. How dehumanizing to be state representatives, but only seen as other during the protest. This is a moment for us to act. In the legislature we are considering a range of bills that would increase police accountability and transparency. This is an important first step. For people who have privilege, I urge you to recognize that and think about how you can be an ally. Protest peacefully and safely, listen and show compassion. We are living through multiple crises and I understand many are feeling overwhelmed right now. We need to work together to stay healthy: wear a face covering, wash your hands, keep up social distancing. People are going to protest. I support that. I’m out there too. If you do decide to protest, please do it in a way that limits your risk of contracting or spreading COVID-19 and does not support the physical destruction of communities we have fought so hard to build.

    Co-produced by India Blake / IB Productions Cecelia Joyce Johnson / Deep End Productions FROM THE ARTISTIC DIRECTOR A covered mirror. Mourning. Expelling our personal phantoms. These are what initially caused Azure D. Osborne-Lee to write their beautiful play Mirrors. Azure is a dazzling new force in the playwriting community, and New York Theatre Workshop has recognized this, too. We are so pleased that the World Premiere of Mirrors is happening at Next Door at New York Theatre Workshop. Our story begins in the fictional town of Etheridge, Mississippi in the summer of 1960 with Bird – a Black, queer woman (and the town pariah) who is mourning the death of her former love, Belle, and attempting to bond with Belle’s 17-year-old daughter, Alma Jean, who is now Bird’s ward. Though it began with an exploration of death rituals, Mirrors has become a work about the importance of love in the face of grief. And while it is funny and spiritual, it also is an unsparing reminder as to what happens when a larger community deems someone “unacceptable.” Unfair judgments. Isolation. Violence. Discrimination and prejudice at all levels of society are far worse for LGBTQ+ Americans of color. Mirrors is a personal story about death and life in the American South, but it’s also a poignant contribution to the ongoing conversation on social and racial justice, and about the love we find for ourselves and each other when we have the courage to look. At its heart, Mirrors reminds us of the importance of family and community.
