Jack Ferver Presents Newest Dance Piece as Part of New York Live Arts Live Feed In Process

Jack Ferver is a New York-based writer, choreographer and director. His genre-defying performances explore the tragicomedy of the human psyche. Ferver's works integrate and induct an array of psychological and socio-political issues, particularly in the realms of sexual orientation, gender and power struggles. For New York Live Arts' Live Feed in Process program, Ferver presents Everything Is Imaginable, written and choreographed by Ferver and performed by Reid Bartelme, Lloyd Knight, James Whiteside and Ferver. The presentation is not open for review.

New York Live Arts' Live Feed, a creative residency program supporting the development of new work, is one the three development programs offered by the organization. Informal public showings followed by a discussion with the artists offer a sneak peek into each resident artist's process and ideas before they hit the stage. In addition to Ferver, the 2016-2018 Live Feed artists are DANCENOISE, Carlos Soto, Joanna Kotze, Paloma McGregor and Walter Dundervill.

Ferver's works has been presented in New York at the New Museum, The Kitchen, French Institute Alliance Française, as part of Crossing the Line, Abrons Arts Center, Performance Space 122, Museum of Arts and Design, as part of Performa 11, and other venues. His works have also been presented at the American Dance Institute (MD); Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs and Special Events (IL); Portland Institute of Contemporary Art (OR); Institute of Contemporary Art at MECA (ME); Institute of Contemporary Art (MA); Diverse Works in collaboration with the Contemporary Arts Museum of Houston (TX); and Théâtre de Vanves (France).
