FOOD FOR THOUGHT December 20-22, 2007 [Thu-Sat] at 8:30 PM Admission: $5.00 + 2 cans of food or $10.00 Dynamic and diverse, our popular performance sampler returns this fall with three nights of compelling contemporary work. We invite you to contribute to a worthy cause while being challenged and entertained. Evenings curated by Jodi Bender, Heidi Latsky, and Christopher Williams feature an eclectic mix of work by local artists. For her program on Thursday, December 20th, Latsky will spotlight stories of AIDS Service Center clients through text and movement. On Friday, December 21st, Christopher Williams presents An Object in Dance? Artists Daniel Squire, eagle ager, Celeste Hastings/The Butoh Rockettes, and Larisa Velez respond to the curator's challenge to address the titular question using the Encarta World Dictionary's definition of the word "object" as a starting point. Recognizing the restrictions of creating a work for a low-tech, shared evening while looking towards fulfilling dance fantasies, curator Jodi Bender spurs the artists on her program to fill the spaces between what is real and is desired. Her Saturday, December 22nd program, fantastic realities, features Milka Djordjevich, Natalie Green, K.J. Holmes, and Melanie Maar. Kathy Kaufmann lights the performances. We're pleased to partner once again with the AIDS Service Center, a multi-service community organization that promotes the well-being, empowerment, and stability of persons living with and at risk for HIV/AIDS throughout the City and the neighboring areas (for more information, visit www.ascnyc.org).
