Maria Hassabi
STAGED
October 4, 2016–October 8, 2016The Kitchen, New York
STAGED furthers Maria Hassabi’s conversation on the expectations of viewership by prolonging and emphasizing the contours of stillness, while addressing the ways in which dance and the spectacle of performance are presented within the theater space. With performances by Simon Courchel, Hristoula Harakas, Oisín Monaghan, and composer Marina Rosenfeld.
Co-presented by The Kitchen and Crossing the Line, produced by FIAF (French Institute Alliance Française).
STAGED (2016) is a co-production of Dance4 (Nottingham, UK); FIAF’s Crossing the Line Festival (New York, NY); High Line Art (New York, NY); The Keir Foundation with support from Dancehouse, Melbourne (Melbourne, AUS); The Kitchen (New York, NY); Kunstenfestivaldesarts (Brussels, BE); Onassis Cultural Center – Athens (Athens, GR); and Summer Stages Dance @ ICA/Boston (MA); and through residencies at Live Arts Bard at the Fisher Center for the Performing Arts at Bard College (Annandale on Hudson, NY); Camargo Foundation with funding from the Jerome Foundation (Cassis, FR); and Robert Rauschenberg Foundation (Captiva Island, FL); and supported, in part, by contributions from Randi & Jeff Levine and Leo Koenig & Maggie Clinton.
Dance programs at The Kitchen are made possible with support from Howard Gilman Foundation, Mertz Gilmore Foundation, The Jerome Robbins Foundation, and The Harkness Foundation for Dance, and in part by public funds from New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council and New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Governor Andrew Cuomo and the New York State Legislature.
Crossing the Line is the French Institute Alliance Française (FIAF)’s annual fall festival presenting interdisciplinary works and performances created by artists from around the world in New York. The festival provides opportunities for New Yorkers to explore the dialogue between artist and participant, examine how artists help re-imagine the world, and engage in the vital role artists play as critical thinkers and catalysts for social evolution. Crossing the Line is initiated and produced by FIAF in partnership with leading cultural institutions and takes place this year from September 22–November 3, 2016.
