The People Movers Present MAGNUM OPUS: RETROSPECTIVE At Brooklyn Studios For Dance
by BWW News Desk - March 18, 2019
In 2018, The People Movers' choreographer and artistic director Kate Ladenheim and performer-designer Cecilia Lynn-Jacobs devised a collaborative project titled OH, CELINE and its heroine, Celine (nee De La Croix). This fictional Brooklyn-based avant-garde dancer was conceived as a hilarious yet sincere caricature of a downtown artist. Through a sequence of events - sometimes harrowing, sometimes funny - the clueless New Age-y diva evolved into a provocative, Borat-like figure through whom her creators set to unmask the power structures in the contemporary art scene and our society at large. Over the last few months, Celine's experiences unveiled through a long series of disarmingly pretentious social media posts, a mystifying art film, and surprising live appearances - all of which inspired unexpected reactions from the audiences.

Phillip Howze's World Premiere SELF PORTRAITS Announced At BRIC
by BWW News Desk - March 13, 2019
BRIC, celebrating 40 years as the leading presenter of free cultural programming in Brooklyn, announces the world premiere of acclaimed playwright Phillip Howze's multidisciplinary play Self Portraits (April 24-27), an intimate, impressionistic collection of personal meditations framing and reframing the Black body in America today. In the midst of the BRIC OPEN-BRIC's annual arts and ideas festival-Howze's new work will activate the space in unconventional ways, using the organs of a theater to interrogate the boundaries of form and the limits of bodies, to witness together what's seen and what's often imperceptible.
