The Kitchen, founded in 1971, has continued to serve as an important catalyst for a broad community of groundbreaking artists working across disciplines. In today's landscape, where contemporary artists and arts institutions are collaborating in new ways and generating new contexts for the continuing evolution of multi-disciplinary art, The Kitchen, as a nimble, smaller-scale organization, plays an especially vital role. It provides emerging and established artists a hot-house environment for the presentation and discussion of their work, supporting and seeking to foster a vibrant, living dialogue among artists from every field and area of culture. Engaging both The Kitchen veterans and newcomers who challenge the given formations of art and politics, lifestyle and social structures, the Spring 2018 (March 28-July 27) season probes everything from the police state to the racial imaginary to self-construction and identity, utilizing the flexibility of the institution's spaces for art that itself eludes definition.
Mariana Valencia's performance Covers, Singles, Shout Outs is an in-progress research that examines authorship by questioning what gets carried into her work through the modes of proximity, relation and alliance. Through this process Covers, Singles, Shout Outs seeks to manipulate perceptions of life and its collaborators. The work is sourced from various popular and cultural alliances and this particular ensemble of sources builds a choral surround of references. The work proposes a lens for observation that positions our personal and cultural attachment to objects and subjects, and why (or, if?) we choose to live among them. In Covers, Singles, Shout Outs, Valencia invites the audience to traverse a dense field of collective reference.
The internationally renowned Lar Lubovitch Dance Company celebrates its 50th anniversary this spring with two programs at The Joyce Theater featuring the world premiere of Lar Lubovitch's Something About Night as well as signature works from the Company's vast repertory. The Company will be joined by the Martha Graham Dance Company and principals from The Joffrey Ballet, each performing seminal Lubovitch dances in honor of this milestone year. Performances are at The Joyce Theater April 17–22, 2018 (Tuesday and Wednesday at 7:30pm, Thursday and Friday at 8pm, Saturday at 2pm and 8pm, and Sunday at 2pm).
The Kitchen presents Marianna Ellenberg's Pawel & Ebola, a new play that tells the story of the imagined offspring of neurologist and famed hysteric -photographer Dr. Jean-Martin Charcot in order to examine trauma and how notions of hysteria have been projected onto women from fin-de-si cle France to contemporary America (February 22 24). This is the largest onstage undertaking yet for Ellenberg: the film and performance artist sets her cinematic taste for camp and psychodrama onstage in this full-length, time-traversing play. Combining narrative and fragmentary text, dance, live audio experimentation and electro-acoustic music, Pawel & Ebola continues Ellenberg's deconstruction of themes like institutional misogyny, spirituality, and the female subject in American mythologies. This trenchant riff on various power structures asks how the global capitalist societies of today can contort even feminism to exploitative ends.
BAX/Brooklyn Arts Exchange is excited to announce the 2018 YouthWorks Festival. Established in 1991 (formerly Kids Outback) and directed by BAX Faculty Donna Costello, YouthWorks is an annual opportunity for young people (ages 8 - 18) to imagine, create, and perform their own original performance work at BAX. A personal and artistic journey happens for each young artist in the program that begins at the orientation meeting and continues through to the performance. Participants come in from all over the city, most with nothing more than the desire to create 'something,' and set themselves to work.
