Thoughts from the Founding Director Past & Current Pentacle Artists Tribute to Past Pentacle Staff Board of Directors- Celebration Committee- Staff Body Wisdom: Pentacle Celebrates Forty Years Tonight’s Program & Performers Event Sponsors & Donors Greetings Welcome Thank you for joining us tonight and celebrating this 40th Anniversary! In 1976 we opened our doors with a staff of four, providing what we called “cluster management” to four companies. Our mission was then and remains today to help artists do what they do best….create works of art. We have steadfastlyprovided day-to-day administration services as well as local and national innovative projects to individual artists, companies and the broader arts community. But we did not and could not do it alone. We have had the support of literally hundreds of arts administrators, presenters, publicists, funders, and individual supporters. So tonight is a celebration of Pentacle, yes, and also a celebration of our enormously eclectic community. We want to thank all of the artists who have donated their time and energies to present their work tonight, the Rubin Museum for providing such a beautiful space, and all of you for joining us and supporting Pentacle. Welcome and enjoy the festivities! Mara Greenberg Patty Bryan Director Board Chair Thoughts from the Founding Director What is the landscape for emerging dance artists? A question addressed forty years later. There are many kinds of dance companies—repertory troupes that celebrate the dances of a country or re- gion, exquisitely trained ensembles that spotlight a particular idiom or form—classical ballet or Flamenco or Bharatanatyam, among other classicisms, and avocational troupes of a hundred sorts that proudly share the dances, often traditional, of a hundred different cultures.

  • Jonah Bokaer
    signs and symbols JONAH BOKAER About An Arabesque Jonah Bokaer About An Arabesque February 13 - March 8, 2020 signs and symbols is pleased to present About an Arabesque, the first New York solo exhibition by visual artist and choreographer Jonah Bokaer. The exhibition marks a moment in which the interplay of disciplines in Bokaer’s practice can be perceived and encountered within a gallery setting. Through their confrontation of stereotypes and iconoclasm, the featured works explore the complexities at large in Western representation and identification of individuals in the Middle East and North Africa. The arabesque as a visual motif and building block of Western dance — along with the orientalism implied — provides a visual portal into the complexities of this genre, across disciplines. The exhibition features an array of works developed by Bokaer during his awarded residency at the Robert Rauschenberg Foundation in Captiva, Florida (2019). Works include lithographs and serigraphs with multiple color separations and choreographed overlays of drawing, created with master printer Patrick Miko / Long Road Projects. The exhibition also presents two video works and a brute color image-transfer installation onto wood. On March 6th, during New York’s Armory Week, Bokaer debuts The Genie, a performance that deconstructs the representation of men within the Middle East and North Africa through the emblematic image of a genie. Bokaer’s extensive travels to Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Lebanon, Jerusalem, Tunisia, and Pakistan form the basis of the imagery exhibited. The Arabesque is a formal term, visual motif, and technical movement with a long and complex history.

Led by Artistic Director Lourdes Lopez, a former New York City Ballet principal dancer who later directed The George Balanchine Foundation, the company performs a program with a trio of works by master ballet choreographers, “It was important for us to open the 85th Anniversary Festival with a premier American ballet company that is quite simply making great work right now under the stellar leadership of its Artistic Director, Lourdes Lopez,” comments Jacob’s Pillow Director Pamela Tatge. “It’s been nearly 20 years since Pillow audiences have had the opportunity to see Miami City Ballet. Their rich programs will showcase the dancers' virtuosity and musicality. We're so excited to welcome them back!” The company’s Pillow program opens with Allegro Brillante, choreographed in 1956 by New York City Ballet co-founder George Balanchine. Balanchine once called the exuberant Allegro Brillante “everything I know about classical ballet in thirteen minutes.” Danced to Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky’s “Piano Concerto No. 3, Op. 75,” the ballet is one of Balanchine’s most joyous, pure dance pieces, characterized by precise dancing and expansive romanticism. Born in St. Petersburg, Russia, Balanchine (1904-1983) is regarded as the foremost contemporary choreographer in the world of ballet.

  • DANIEL ARSHAM #Recollections
    Press Release DANIEL ARSHAM #recollections 15 October – 4 December 2013 Daniel Arsham, Shielded Figure 2013, broken glass, resin, unique Pippy Houldsworth Gallery is delighted to present #recollections, the first solo exhibition in London, From 15 October to 4 December, of young New York-based artist, Daniel Arsham. Known for his multi-disciplinary work comprising painting, sculpture, installation, Film and perFormance, Arsham collaborated with Merce Cunningham for the last four years of Cunningham’s life, following in the Footsteps oF Robert Rauschenberg, Jasper Johns, Andy Warhol and Bruce Nauman. A highlight of the opening was the PerFormance by Arsham and Jonah Bokaer, previewing the artists’ collaboration to be performed at the Adrienne Arsht Center for Performing Arts during Art Basel Miami Beach in December 2013. Imagining himself as an archaeologist oF the Future looking back into the past, Arsham has brought together a series oF cast objects within the gallery, presenting them as if fossilised relics from a bygone era or an archaeological dig. Displayed on custom-made shelves by Arsham’s architectural Firm Snarkitecture, the collection encompasses an array oF cameras, microphones and projectors, fabricated using reformed materials such as volcanic ash, crystal and crushed steel. Significantly, their once communicative Function has now been rendered defunct as iF eroded by the passing of time. With an arm shielding its face, a glass figure cast from the artist’s body overlooks the assortment of relics, alluding to the petriFied remains of a Pompeian figure. To complete the installation, a series oF coins, each painted in intricate detail on a stark black background, are hung as iF classiFied in a taxonomical display.

That same year, New York State enacted the Gradual Emancipation Act 1, so it is reasonable to assume that this building where we are when we stand, sit, dance, and some still worship, was built by enslaved individuals on what was the homeland of the Lenape people.” – Ishmael Houston-Jones Danspace Project Presents COME AND GO JUS’ PIECE A’ WAY A film by Reggie Wilson and Aitor Mendilibar premiere & conversation Friday, June 18, 2021 5pm (ET) Part of PLATFORM 2021: The Dream of the Audience curated by Judy Hussie-Taylor Fist & Heel Performance Group is a COME AND GO JUS’ PIECE A’ WAY Brooklyn-based dance company that investigates the intersections of cultural A film by Reggie Wilson anthropology and movement practices and Aitor Mendilibar and believes in the potential of the Choreography: Reggie Wilson body as a valid means for knowing.

False Start, Charade, and Nudedescendance are choreographed and performed most important dance innovators, pursuing the relationship between chore- by Jonah Bokaer through the use of digital choreographic software and 3D ography and technology. His keen sense for choreography has always seamlessly animation. looped innovative technologies like animation software into conceptually rich dances that push the formal boundaries of performance. I couldn’t be more False Start (2007) excited to introduce our audience to Jonah’s sensitivity and intellect, not only “self description is a calamity.” as an artist but also as a person. Both are evident in the way that he seriously, – Jasper Johns yet humorously, approaches Tree Cases Of Amnesia. Charade (2006) In this work, Jonah combines three of his iconic solos—False Start, Charade, “an empty canvas is full.” and Nudedescendance. Rarely performed in the United States, the program – Robert Rauschenberg showcases the choreographer’s pioneering work with 3D animations. Where does a movement begin? Where does it end? What, and who, does it leave Nudedescendance (2005) behind? Jonah uses a digital avatar to compose body movements that he “I have forced myself to contradict myself in order to avoid conforming to might not discover working with a physical person, and he then transposes my own taste.” that choreography onto his own body for live performance.
