Elisa Monte Dance at 33 Years: 3 Premieres, 3 Choreogrpahers, 3 Days Only FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Press Contact: Kimberly Giannelli | Amber Henrie In The Lights PR [email protected] [email protected] Photos and video available on request ELISA MONTE DANCE AT 33 YEARS: 3 PREMIERES, 3 CHOREOGRPAHERS, 3 DAYS ONLY Diversity, Athleticism and Exploration Encompass the Three Premieres of Elisa Monte Dance. NEW YORK, April 24, 2014 — Elisa MontE DancE, an emotionally charged and highly acclaimed dance company that champions individuality, will celebrate its 33rd season with three world premieres in three days from May 15-17 at the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater. Artistic Director, Elisa MontE, will add to her collection of more than 50 works with the world premiere of Lonely Planet, the fourth and final movement in a succession of works that began in 2011. Additionally, Associate Artistic Director TiffAny REA-FishEr will present Persona Umbra in its New York premiere and long time EMD principal dancer and choreographer JoE CElEj will premiere their roots rest in infinity. The company will also restage Elisa Monte’s 1987 Audentity. “This season is a unique opportunity to share the vision of three dance makers in one program,” remarks founder and director Elisa Monte. “We are pushing into a future where collaborations and sharing ideas and processes are celebrated and cultivated to present an educated, healthy and creative voice to our audience.” Set to the music of David Van Teighem, Elisa Monte will premiere The Lonely Planet, a work that has taken a four-year journey. The work investigates the notable current issues of the rapid disappearance of language and culture in a society that is seemingly more technological. Within progression, Monte weaves a fabric of isolation and disconnection that is hard to combat. The use of projection, the flux of sound and visual movement, and a cast of eight dancers bring accessibility for wide audiences to endure the exploration of the world around them. Persona Umbra, or “Shadow Person” in Latin, is the new work presented by Tiffany Rea-Fisher, making its New York premiere. Inspired by J.M. Barrie’s Peter Pan, this work is a representation of the self—how one perceives themselves in relation to how they are perceived by others. While the reality of each is found in the beholder, outside influences may skew and effect reality. Set to soundscape by long-time colleague Pavel Zustiak, this is the first work that Rea- Fisher and Zustiak have created together. Lastly, Joe Celej’s their roots rest in infinity will round out the evening, paying homage to text by Hermann Hesse. A prolific passage describing trees, rooted in the depths of the non-traditional male sensitivity and the underpinnings of its strength. An all male trio, this contemporary company premiere blends fluid partnering, intricate floor-work, musicality as well as emotional and theatrical imagery. Music by Great Lake Swimmers and T. Dekker, Celej creates a landscape of a wider open minded perspective on the human condition and the expectations of intimacy. TICKETS and VENUE INFORMATION General seating is available for $25. A $50 ticket for opening night includes a pre-show reception hosted by the Elisa Monte Dance Executive Board. Tickets are available for purchase at Smart Tix. Raffle tickets will be available at $10/ticket at Friday and Saturday’s performances to benefit the company’s 30 weeks of Dance Campaign. The winner will be announced after the performance. The Ailey Citigroup Theater is located at 405 W 55th Street in Manhattan and is accessible by the 1, A, B, C, D, N, and Q trains. PERFORMANCE SCHEDULE Opening Night: Thursday, May 15 at 8:00 p.m. Friday, May 16 at 8:00 p.m. Saturday, May 17 at 3:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m. CHOREOGRAPHER BIOGRAPHIES ELISA MONTE (Artistic Director) made her professional debut dancing with Agnes DeMille. She was featured as a principal dancer with Martha Graham Dance Company, Lar Lubovitch, and Pilobolus, among others. Monte’s first choreographic work, Treading (1979), defined her as an important innovator and contributor to contemporary dance. Her signature style, recognized as daring, intense and passionate, is classical and highly athletic. Rooted in sensuality and sustained energy, Monte’s work is notable for its expansive range of movement. Monte has choreographed more than 50 works danced by Elisa Monte Dance and others, including Boston Ballet, Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, San Francisco Ballet, Les Grands Ballets Canadiens, Ballet Gulbenkian of Portugal, Teatro alla Scala Ballet, Philadanco, Dallas Black Dance Theatre, North Carolina Dance Theater, the Batsheva Dance Company of Israel, and the PACT Contemporary Dance Company of South Africa. TIFFANY REA-FISHER (Associate Artistic Director & Director of Operations) danced with Companie de Danse in Spain, The Kevin Wynn Collection, Dance Anonymous, Abraham.in.Motion and The Brett Howard Dance Company before joining Elisa Monte Dance in 2004. She was named Dance Magazine’s “On the Rise” in 2007. Rea-Fisher has also served as the resident choreographer for the Fresno Ballet School, as curator for Dance at the Tank, as co- founder of ForArts at Purchase College, and co-founder of Inception to Exhibition, an interdisciplinary arts organization that fosters artist incubation. Her teaching accolades include Joffrey Ballet School, the Ailey School, City Center, Dance New Amsterdam, Dancewave, George Mason University, Juilliard, Steffi Nossen School of Dance, Peridance, Steps on Broadway, SUNY Purchase and Tisch School of the Arts. Rea-Fisher was named Associate Artistic Director for Elisa Monte Dance in 2009 and Director of Operations in 2011. She received her BFA from the Conservatory of Dance at Purchase College SUNY. JOE CELEJ is in his eighth year with Elisa Monte Dance. Through the EMD choreographic initiative, Joe has enjoyed collaborating and creating five works for the company. Previously, Joe performed with the Houston Metropolitan Dance Company, where he served as the company’s Resident Choreographer and continues today as a guest choreographer/teacher and member of MET Dance’s advisory board. He has been a guest teacher/choreographer at a variety of educational institutions including Steps on Broadway, SUNY Buffalo, Rice University, Salve Regina University, the High School for Performing and Visual Arts Houston (HSPVA), and the Hetrick-Martin Institute.

REPERTORY Lonely Planet (2014 World Premiere) Choreography: Elisa Monte Original Music Composed by: David Van Teighem Lighting: Clifton Taylor Projection Design: Paul Lieber Length: 18 min. Lonely Planet investigates the themes of existence, permanence and the fleeting nature of life— all of which rise questions with grim answers. Despite its gravity, the outcome is hopeful as the acts of change lay in the accountability and action capable by all. Persona Umbra (2014 NY Premiere) Choreography: Tiffany Rea-Fisher Original Music Composed by: Pavel Zustiak Lighting: Clifton Taylor Costumes: Naomi Luppescu Length: 13 min. The marriage of everyday pedestrian and gestural movements translated through athleticism in dance form translates into a universal tale for audiences to step inside of and consider their own relationships, perception and truths. their roots rest in infinity (2014 CompanyPremiere) Choreography: Joe Celej Music: Great Lake Swimmers and T. Dekker Lighting: Clifton Taylor Length: 11 min. An interesting contrast to the assumed hyper physical-ness that often is showcased among all male casts, the image of man stands peacefully, honoring human interaction as a sanctuary of thought and truth and the re-defining of what it means to be man. Audentity (1987) Choreography: Elisa Monte Original Music Composed by: Klause Schulze Lighting: Craig Miller Length: 22 min. Audentity is a composite word describing identity through sound. A unity of body, soul, and mind, Audentity visually interprets the music’s rhythm and flow, weaving the unexpected. ### ABOUT ELISA MONTE DANCE Founded in 1981, Elisa Monte Dance is hailed around the world for its visceral and sensual style and embodiment of diverse cultural influences.
