THROW on some fresh dance moves, please.

This Tuesday, November 13th at 7pm ATD will be showing a fresh, in-progress version of a new untitled duet with Erin Cairns Cella and yours truly as a part of The Chocolate Factory Theater presents Sarah Maxfield's THROW, curated in 2012-2013 by Lindsey Dietz Marchant.

What's that you ask? How much? Oh, it's free. Nice.

I have to say, having only attended one of this events before, it was life changing. I thoroughly enjoyed sitting in as an audience member and watching works in progress - raw, fresh material, in it's infancy, being molded and considered by these stunning and clever dance artists. Not only did I get a first look at these works, but I was able to talk about it with them with the other audience members. They ask you these intriguing and thought provoking questions that spark your mind with a buffet of ideas and responses that not only make you feel smart but immensely help the artists while their in the midst of their process.

Bonus - you leave feeling like a million bucks. You just helped an artist with their process. Not to mention feeling inspired to attend more dance events and racing to get into the studio ASAP.

Now it's my turn. I'm showing a work that, too, is in it's infancy. We've had several rehearsals and have a clear prompt, and I'm working with a killer mover and thinker. The structure is in progress and frankly, it's more about our relationship than the movement. The movement will take shape as we go and will emit the environment we're aiming to expose. So, why not come on down and share your thoughts with me? I promise you'll enjoy yourself. Bring a friend. Bring a neighbor. Go out for a drink at one of the many cute spot around. Can't wait to see you.

And if my dance stylings aren't enough to lure you in, you should check out Catherine Galasso and Barbie Diewald. They'll be there, too. 

The Chocolate Factory is located right off the 7 train (Vernon/Jackson) at 5-49 49th Ave Long Island City, NY
Remember, it's FREE!
