Dancer Captures New York’s Imagination

Acclaimed Canadian choreographer Paul-André Fortier has captured New Yorkers’ imaginations with Solo 30 X 30, in which he is performing the same 30-minute dance for 30 consecutive days, rain or shine, at One New York Plaza.

Part of The River To River Festival, the extraordinary event has become one of the most buzzed-about public art events of the summer, attracting coverage in almost every major NYC outlet, including reviews in the New York Times and Metro, profiles in Time Out New York, New York Press, This Week in New York, Capitol File, and DNA Info, and segments on WABC-TV, WNYC, NY1, and NBC New York.

River To River Festival Remembers Merce

Just a few days after the death of their company’s namesake choreographer, dancers from the Merce Cunningham Dance Company gave a memorable performance as part of the 2009 River to River Festival, which drew more than 3,000 people to Battery Park City in Manhattan. Now, almost a year later, five choreographers paid their respects to Cunningham in a program titled “We Give Ourselves Away at Every Moment: An EVENT for Merce,” on July 26th. Lucinda Childs, Bill T. Jones, Susan Marshall, Jon Kinzel and Faye Driscoll presented new dances created for the occasion, as well as existing works inspired by Cunningham’s Events pieces.

Reviews of the performance included The New York Times (and slide show), Wall Street Journal, Financial Times, and WNET Sunday Arts.
