Speaking from the Diaphragm

WINNER OF THE 2009 ETHYL EICHELBERGER AWARD

“A performance artist of underground legend.” – Guy Trebay, New York Times

A performance piece that re-examines the heyday of 1970s American daytime television chat and variety programs. Taking the format of legendary talk shows like The Mike Douglas Show and Dinah!, which starred lesbian icon Dinah Shore. Ms Davis isn’t interested in assimilating into the mainstream entertainment complex, but instead wishes to dissect a kind of TV staple and reconfigure it by presenting an array of live and Skype guests from the various worlds of literature, dance, theatre, film and art she has intersected in her over 30 year career as a performance and live artist, writer and cultural raconteur. With guest hosts, Downtown treasure Carmelita Tropicana, and Jennifer Miller the famed bearded lady of Circus Amok expect ten days of the unexpected, the unusual and the sublime.

Gottlieb

gottlieb

“A commanding vocalist”
– The New York Times

“Powerfully straddles jazz, cantorial and the avant-garde”
– All About Jazz

“Israeli jazz seductress”
– Rolling Stone

“Avant-garde yet surprisingly accessible”
– Global Rhythm

A ten piece song cycle composed by jazz vocalist Ayelet Rose Gottlieb spans erotic love poetry from the bible. With director Franny Silverman and video artist Renate Aller, Gottlieb creates a multi-sensory experience that starts at the moment one steps into the theatre. The show combines movement, video projections and Gottlieb’s compositions. All the elements unfold the abstract narrative of the struggles of a woman in love.

About the Artist:

Ayelet Rose Gottlieb’s (Composer/Vocalist) sound reveals a unique improvisational approach infused with elaborate composition, spiced up with Middle Eastern scales and adventurous texts. She currently resides in New York City and was born in 1979 in Jerusalem, Israel. After graduating from New England Conservatory in ’02, Gottlieb released her first CD Internal-External which was chosen as “Best Debut of 2004” by All About Jazz. In ’06 she released Mayim Rabim on John Zorn’s Tzadik Records to international critical acclaim.

Musicians: Ayelet Rose Gottlieb, Michael Gottlieb, Deanna Neil, Tammy Scheffer- Vocals
Michael Winograd- Clarinet, Anat Fort- Piano, Greg Heffernan-Cello, Ronen Itzik- Drums

Best of Boroughs Festival – Brooklyn

Presented in association with BRIC Arts Media Bklyn.
Mayim Rabim was developed, in part, through a residency at BRIClab
