Fierce Backbone presents the world premiere of AMMO, a dark comedy written by Jeremy Kehoe, directed by Jeffrey Wylie. With 300 million people--and 300 million guns--orbiting each other like good, bad and ugly ingredients in a spaghetti-Western Mexican stand-off, the barrel of a gun is almost certain to nuzzle its nose into the everyday lives of ordinary Americans. AMMO tells the tale of four uniquely American gun-centric stories with each vignette layered in content, circumstance and time, mirroring the randomness of gun violence itself. Their only link? That of 'gun' as protagonist.

Following their critically acclaimed world premiere in December the Gelsey Kirkland Ballet returns with an evening of dance at the Peter Jay Sharp Theatre at Symphony Space (2537 Broadway on the southwest corner of 95th Street and Broadway) Friday, March 7 at 7:30PM and Saturday, March 8 at 7:30PM. This 20-member company, under the artistic direction of Gelsey Kirkland and Michael Chernov present their first mixed program including 'Raymonda Suite,' 'Leaves are Fading' Pas de Deux, 'Ballebille' from Napoli, 'Flames of Paris' Pas de Deux, 'Pas De Quatre' and 'Cavalry Halt.' As part of the shared vision that Ms. Kirkland and Mr. Chernov are attempting to fulfill with the creation of Gelsey Kirkland Ballet, Ms. Kirkland has provided her own personal touch to master works such as The Leaves are Fading, which was created on her at ABT by the renowned British choreographer Antony Tudor. The program also includes the New York premiere of Petipa's Cavalry Halt, a piece rarely viewed by US audiences.

The Museum of Modern Art announces the creation of the Museum Research Consortium, a new partnership with the graduate art history programs at Princeton University, Yale University, Columbia University, the Institute of Fine Arts at New York University, and the Graduate Center at the City University of New York. Directed by Leah Dickerman, Curator in MoMA's Department of Painting and Sculpture, and funded by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, the Consortium serves a number of goals including: the development of a stronger dialogue between the Museum and academic colleagues; furthering the collaborative study of key objects in the Museum's collection; and the creation of a framework for the Museum's participation in the training and education of the next generation of art historians and museum curators. The Consortium's first class of pre-doctoral fellows, drawn from the five partner institutions, begin their work at MoMA this month.

Es gibt Lieder, die Evergreens werden, bei denen Musik, Darbietung und Interpreten untrennbar in Erinnerung bleiben. Bei Titeln wie „Wochenend und Sonnenschein" und „Mein kleiner gruner Kaktus" denkt man sofort an die Comedian Harmonists. Gottfried Greiffenhagens Stuck uber die Geschichte des legendaren Sextetts ist eine Zeitreise in die 20er und 30er Jahre. Der „Tastenmagier" Franz Wittenbrink hat die Ohrwurmer arrangiert und einstudiert. So bringen die uber 25 Hits der Comedian Harmonists die Zuschauer seit 14 Jahren zum Rasen. Der Irrwitz der Virtuositat, die mitreißenden Melodien und der Nonsens der Texte, das Mitspielen von Korpersprache und Mimik, die funf grandiosen „Klangkorper" - all das macht diesen Theaterabend zu einem unvergesslichen Erlebnis.
