  • Choreographic Coding Lab

    Tuesday, Aug 18, 2015

    The Choreographic Coding Lab (CCL) format offers unique opportunities of exchange and collaboration for digital media ‘code savvy’ artists who have an interest in translating aspects of choreography and dance into digital form and applying choreographic thinking to their own practice. This format supports working with patterns in movement scores and structures through finding, generating and applying them with results ranging from prototypes for artworks to new plug-ins for working with dance related datasets. The CCLs also seek to support a sustainable collaborative practice among its participants encouraging ongoing exchange in a growing artistic research community.

    Monica Bill Barnes and Co: "Happy Hour"

    Monday, Mar 23, 2015

    MBB&CO will be developing a new work, Happy Hour, while in residence at Tisch in 2015 and will use their residency to create a series of related events across NYU (in theatrical and non-theatrical spaces) featuring a shifting set of worlds and characters. Barnes is joined by a core of collaborators: Associate Artistic Director and performing partner Anna Bass; Lighting Designer Jane Cox; and Set and Costume Designer Kelly Hanson, and Creative Producing Director and host of Happy Hour Robert Saenz de Viteri in the creation of this new show. The entry point into these worlds is movement but the show overall will ask audiences to consider these characters as a way of seeing the real people in all of our lives – our neighbors, our families, the idols we put on pedestals, the butts of our jokes, and, most importantly, ourselves.
