One Week Left To Join The International Culture Lab's 2020 Coney Island Ritual Cabaret
By: Chloe Rabinowitz Feb. 18, 2020
ONE WEEK LEFT to submit your proposal to International Culture Lab to present an original performance piece between 5 and 15 minutes in length at the 2020 Coney Island Ritual Cabaret. Deadline for applications: Sunday March 1, 2020 with Performances, Fri-Sun, April 24-26, 2020.
Producers, NICK FRACARO and GABRIELE SCHAFER challenge actors, musicians, dancers, performers from the variety arts, and beyond to deconstruct and reinvent their particular art form - whatever it might be. The goal is TRANSFORMATION - of self, society, politics, or anything. The Ritual Cabaret has - for half a decade - set out to invent a new genre by re-inventing those in our present psyche.
The history of the Festival is informed by dancer/choreographer Tatsumi Hijikata who originated butoh in 1950's in an effort to defy and subvert authority, including conventional notions of dance, thereby seeking transformation - on the personal, societal and political level. It is no coincidence that this is around the time of the legendary Off-Off Broadway Movement in NYC.
