"The Garage is the kind of tiny, funky, out-of-the-way theater we all thought wouldn't be able to survive the dealings of cutthroat real estate moguls...fortunately SAFEhouse, failed to buy into the pessimism...The Garage presents edgy new work that should satisfy any aficionado wanting to take the pulse of the city."

Sept 15-16 • 8pm $10-$20 • Buy Tickets Here RAW (resident artist workshop) presents Laura Blakely Cason MacBride Melissa Hudson-Bell Doopa Contraposta is a new work by Cason MacBride, using Art Modeling (posing nude for sculpting/ drawing classes) as the motif for movement and narrative. It celebrates the human figure in classical form, while finding humor in the process of creating classical art. "EGGS," BreadnButter/Melissa Hudson Bell's recent choreographic venture is a dance theater collaboration between choreographers Melissa Hudson Bell, Celine V. Alwyn and Hannah Schwadron. Exploring the history, symbolism and materiality of eggs of all kinds, this trio move together through heartfelt and fantastical musings. Simultaneously awkward and beautiful, "EGGS" invites close consideration of the parts of ourselves, and our diets, that are often overlooked. Plus a new solo by Laura Blakely. |

punkkiCo presents Waltzing to nothingness, which will have an apocalyptic feeling, "The Garage has a slightly claustrophobic atmosphere in it and I want to use that as a starting point to the choreography. I want to make the movement to flow or rather to explode over the space like water when dropped to boiling oil. I want to create images of the exploding; disturbing energy that I feel is going on in the world. I move these images into the black box performance space and stretch the movement ideas until the dance work reaches what I imagine will be a catharsis of nothingness. The feeling I wish to create is of the people who are trapped in to this black space for the reason they have nothing to do with." Music to this choreography will be composed by Sylvi Alli. Choreography by Raisa Punkki with Paul Laurey, Mihyun Lee, Jennifer Meek, Danny Nguyen and Emma Stewart. Music by Sylvi Alli. Costume Design by Claire Pasquier. Forever Eve presented by Alyce Finwall Dance Theater collaborates with composer Carson Whitley. And investigates femininity, beauty, identity, cooperation and antagonism through raw movement, improvisation and theater, a surreal and ever-changing world of explosive movement and emotions comes to life. Featuring Julia Hollas, Emmaly Wiederholt, Joy Prendergast, Peiling Kao, Kaitlin Parks and Malinda Lavelle. |

Sept 24-25 • 8pm • $10-$20 • Buy Tickets Here RAW (resident artist workshop) presents Zack Bernstein, Miriam Wolodarski, Jennifer Mellor, Jeni Bregman • Jenni Bregman presents Intimate City, an exploration of how we interact in the small and crowded spaces of urban life and how close proximity changes our ideas about intimacy. • Jennifer Mellor presents Libretto, which explores identity through the juxtaposition and interactions of four dancers moving through space, stillness, and tight footwork with a soundscape of swelling cello by Jessica Ivry and dramatic poetic imagery by Jennifer Kwon Dobbs, with Wendy Marinaccio, Jennifer Mellor, Jamie Venci, and Jennifer Wang. • Zack Bernstein presents International Private Behavior, a dance juggling piece that addresses the conventions and expectations of spectacle. This work exposes the quotidian beauty of success and failure: a dropped ball, a clean line, pedestrian solitude. • Say something, Lavinia! (or, Things Come Wrapped in Plastic) by Miriam Wolodarski. Good manners are made up of petty sacrifices. A tongue, two hands. Tiny horrors wrapped in plastic. The bag reads: Thank you. Have a nice day. |
