What. A. Crazy. Month! Inclined is soaring on adrenaline and joy right now...we had such an incredible Spring Season! Between reaching our Indiegogo Campaign goal, our momentous NYC show presented by The Series, our travels up to Boston, and our SOLD-OUT shows at The Dance Complex in Cambridge, we could not be more happy, grateful, and excited about what we have achieved. Inclined connected with so many amazing artists, dancers, producers, photographers, and videographers both in NYC and in Boston, and we made a wonderful new friend in our Boston split-bill partner Intimations Dance. We have had a truly amazing time. Inclined reached some major milestones this spring, but we could not have done it without a lot of help. We are so indebted to our amazing donors and audiences, and to The Series and The Dance Complex for wanting to present and sponsor our work. Thank you everyone for the incredible support, love, and enthusiasm that has been sent our way. We are so thrilled by our first major Spring Performance Season, and as a Director, I have never been more proud of my incredibly talented dancers. These ladies are nothing short of amazing. So, what's next for Inclined!? We are taking a much deserved breather, but we have some exciting things coming up for this summer and into the fall...so stay tuned. We're on a roll. Thank you again everyone for your generous support this spring.
Heartbeat Opera is a new company intent upon re-imagining opera in intimate spaces for a new generation. Employing a minimalism that allows the emotional integrity of the music to shine through, the company's work focuses on the body of the singer and the visceral power of the music. Co-Artistic Directors Louisa Proske and Ethan Heard, who trained together in the Directing program at the Yale School of Drama, are committed to nurturing the actor in every singer they work with. The company creates productions of classics and new pieces that are daring and visceral—productions that manifest the emotional grandeur and theatrical power of opera with minimal means. Heartbeat's one-act festival presentation of György Kurtág's Kafka-Fragments, directed by Heard, and the New York premiere of Jacques Offenbach's Daphnis & Chloé, in a new English translation directed by Proske, marks this young company's debut. Heartbeat Opera's resident music ensemble Cantata Profana, described by The New York Times as “a stylish early music ensemble,” will provide musical accompaniment.

Ask any musical theater junkie what's the best musical of all time, and any worth their spit will answer with one word: Gypsy. The iconic show is highly regarded to this day with good reason. The score's infectious, the sets and costumes eye-catching, and the characters, particularly that of Mama Rose, are on par with those found in plays by Arthur Miller or Tennessee Williams. Gypsy isn't just musical theater. It's a great American Drama, and all that the show can and should be comes to vivid life in The Playhouse's current production.
