Starting the new year right

One day, the winter holidays will be over. The tree trimmings and Nutcracker productions will be tucked away for another year. And, you'll look around and realize it's that sad little unloved period ot time called early January. And you'll say to yourself, "Gee, I'm think I'm about ready for some cutting-edge performance!"

And that's where APAP comes in!

Each year, New York's artists and venues set up shows specifically targeting performing arts presenters, from all over America and abroad, attending the APAP Conference. These shows are a great way to catch up on work that you missed during previous seasons or to get another good look at dances that continue to intrigue you.

For example, here's the lineup for AMERICAN REALNESS, a fest running at Abrons Arts Center and other venues, from Jan 8-11.

Luciana Achugar, Franny and Zooey
Jack Ferver, A Movie Star Needs a Movie
Miguel Gutierrez and the Powerful People, Last Meadow
Trajal Harrell, Twenty Looks or Paris is Burning at The Judson Church (S)
Zoe|Juniper, A Crack in Everything
Layard Thompson, cUp—pUck…
