Knead

KNEAD

An original performance work created in collaboration with the performers with workshop nudges from Tim Miller

“This week-long performance workshop I have led here at PS122 has been an exciting and charged exploration into creating original performance work from our lives, dreams, obsessions, peeves, memories and desires. It has been a great pleasure and inspiration to create our tribe for a short time and jump into this original ensemble work KNEAD.

The search for the narratives of the body is a crucial beginning to knowing ourselves and can be a juicy motor for creating original performance material. I want to thank the artists for diving in so bravely and being ready to dig that extra foot (or mile!) into these gnarly, moist and tricky terrains!”

Lay of the Land

“Passionate, witty, endearing, furious, and fabulous!” – Critic’s Pick, Backstage

“A vivid, must-see achievement.” – David Nichols, The Los Angeles Times

Performance Space 122 co-founder Tim Miller’s sharp-knifed, saucy look at the State of the Queer Union during a time of trial! Careening from his sexy misadventures performing in 45 States, to Marriage Equality street protests, to the electoral assaults on gay folks all over the country, to his life as a grade-school flag monitor, to choking on cheap meat caught in his 10 year old gay boy’s throat, Lay of the Land friskily gets at that feeling of gay folks being perpetually on trial, on the ballot, and on the menu! Lay of the Land is a “lay” in all kinds of ways: a sex-assignation, a queer citizenship map, and of course a narrative ballad with a recurrent refrain! (Miller’s favorite way-down-the-list definition for “lay”!).

Now and Nowhere Else

“It’s 1977. It’s 1973. It’s 1958. It’s 1962. It’s 1979. And I’m going to ask you the same damn thing people are always asking me, like ‘how did you end up here?'”

Jamming, cramming, sucking and fucking off with dance, live music, theatre, and video: an unkempt, bleached and bludgeoned fake take on Beckett and Sartre, and Cage, and Cunningham, and Barfly and chance. You are now here. You are nowhere.

Made in collaboration with Diane Madden, Joey Truman, Peter Warren, Pål Asle Pettersen and Jim Dawson.

Developed through a residency at Baryshnikov Arts Center and is a co-production of Touscene and RAS in Stavanger, Norway and is generously supported by Norsk Kulturrad, Fond for Lyd og Bilde, FFUK and Stavanger Kulturbyfond. Supported in part by TestPerformanceTest. Additional residency support provided @ the Collapsable Hole by the Collapsable Giraffe.

Supergabriela

“Hi, hello my love, I’m so happy you’ve called…I’m happy to hear your voice, I was missing you.”
– Cosmin Manolsecu on the phone with Gabriela Tudor

“Inventive, relaxed and joyful” – Alex Leo Serban, Elle magazine (on Serial Paradise)

Cosmin Manolescu, one of Romania’s leading contemporary choreographers and artistic director of Serial Paradise Company, continues his investigation of and desire to deepen the relationship between performers and audience in SUPERGABRIELA. Alternately sexy, confounding, and dark-humored, this 2-part evening of dance explores expressions of love & loss, heightened sensation, and the illusion of everyday life in Cosmin’s signature satirical style and superb visual sense.

Part 1: dreams.land Directed by Cosmin Manolescu, performed by Camille Mutel & Litsa Kiousi

Part 2: superGabriela Choreographed & performed by Cosmin Manolescu

Cosmin Manolescu, in addition to directing SUPERGABRIELA, has initiated the “Moving Dialogue” series aiming to foster engagement and interaction between both emerging and established American and Romanian dance artists. The project focuses on networking, artistic process, and professional development for performers, choreographers, dance critics and cultural managers through studio research, residencies, classes and workshops, and more. Moving Dialogue is based on the initial commitment of the Romanian Cultural Institute and National Dance Centre Bucharest and is facilitated by both Cosmin Manolescu (RO) and Levi Gonzalez (USA). Moving Dialogue takes place between Movement Research, Dance Theater Workshop and the Romanian Cultural Institute of New York.

The performances of SUPERGABRIELA close a series of memorial events dedicated to Gabriela Tudor, Cosmin’s manager and wife, who set many landmarks in the world of Romanian contemporary art with passion and dedication. Thursday, November 4 celebrates the launch of the Gabriela Tudor Foundation, which focuses on contributing to the development of emerging Romanian cultural managers.
