A MESSAGE FROM CURATOR NICKY PARAISO:
We gather together to celebrate our festival’s 20th anniversary season during a fraught, turbulent time of crisis and challenges to our basic freedoms and democracy. Resistance as a way of life has become essential to us as art makers and culture workers. In an embattled world consumed with continuing strife and war, we choose to resist by making and building dance, movement and performance as a means of reflection and activism in order to understand humanity’s need for transcendence and positive transformation.
We thank the many choreographers, performers, musicians, and visual artists who have created and contributed amazing innovative new work for the last 20 years!
Welcome once again, dear audience.
Much love, Nicky @nickyparaiso
“TREMOR”
Pat Catterson will present “Tremor” for five dancers and Then, a new solo, for a cast combining Boston and New York dancers. Created while a La MaMa Resident Artist, Catterson’s Tremor is concerned with those moments of high alert when we realize something is not right, when what happens next is uncertain, when we worry everything we counted on might be gone. Just a small “tremor” might be the sign. The original score is by Quentin Chiappetta. Then is the opening solo of a new ensemble work in progress. The title, Then, implies both past and future, as does this dance in structure, feel, and movement. Tremor and Then represent Catterson’s 116th and 118th works, respectively.
31 years ago today, my dad died. I miss him. This is from my first communion day, he, characteristically with a cigarette hanging out of his mouth. My mom told me to curtsy and show my skirt. Love you, dad!
