Dance On Camera & A Competition

< That's me in Stanley Love's piece, getting ready for a spoons chant...


There's this Dance On Camera Festival going on right now at Walter Reade Theater at Lincoln Center. It goes through Jan. 14th.
A student friend of mine introduced me to it. it should be fun. I'm going to see Wim Vandekeybus' 'Blush' tonight. There's also the Merce Cunningham and Michal Clark films by Charlie Atlas that are being screened. Check it out!

Also, there's the AWARD Show. According to the organizers, "The A.W.A.R.D. Show is a free, monthly performance series dedicated to the presentation and discussion of new work. Each event will feature works by 4 choreographers (emerging and mid- career artists), followed by a moderated discussion between the artists and audience. At the culmination of each event the audience will choose by a ballot one work to be selected as a finalist who will then be invited to the final event. At the May 14th, 2006 final event, a panel of artists (from the dance, theater, film and visual arts fields) will chose the winner out of the 4 finalists. The winner of The A.W.A.R.D. Show series will receive a $10,000, unrestricted creation/production grant. The aim of The A.W.A.R.D. Show series and the award attached to this series is to foster free spirited exploration and creativity in NYC dance."

I think I'll go see what they chose and hear how the audience responds...
