BaxCo was amazing!

My lovely teens did an incredible job in their show at Wow Cafe Theater this weekend. Here they are, in all their glory, getting ready to go on.

First Saturdays at the Brooklyn Museum

Brooklyn Museum First Saturdays 6:30pm - April 4th

Come to Cora's performance of our most recent work, Prey, at the Brooklyn Museum's Target First Saturdays at 6:30pm!

Prey is a marriage between the raw, blind intensity to survive with a tender reverence for life. This constant internal struggle plays out in this site-based work where threat of confinement or release, abandonment and restriction haunt those that travel within its walls. Inspired by the diverse and intense works within Richard Einhorn’s acclaimed score, Voices of Light, Prey reveals the close kinships between brutality and tenderness, cowardice and heroism in both animal and human form. This site based version creates an architectural relationship between the building and the dance itself, pushing the limits of dimension and capacity to their most extreme. The building becomes more than a neutral shell but a character within which architecture, light and costuming intermingle to create a terrifyingly austere yet heart-clutchingly tangible environment.

Prey was created with significant support from Robert and Mary Beth Aberlin; through a creative residency from Vermont Performance Lab with assistance from Marlboro College, Marlboro, Vermont; and through a 2006-2007 Artist Residency from BAX/Brooklyn Arts Exchange.

The PeriChild Ensemble is an outreach children’s dance company that was founded in 2000 as a natural extension of the school Peridance Center. These young dancers train in pre-professional technique classes and learn choreography from established choreographers. They develop relationships with hundreds of children from various organizations by extending their knowledge and love for dance through teaching within Interactive Workshops and performing throughout the Metropolitan area.

BAXco, BAX/Brooklyn Arts Exchange's youth dance company, was established in 2006 to prepare young dancers to be more professional performers. BAXco is comprised of teens from our Dance Performing Workshops who demonstrate a high level of commitment and skill and a strong desire to be part of a performance ensemble. The company performs work by some of NYC's most contemporary, provocative choreographers.
