InfiniteBody preview: New project due from Bessie-winning Emily Johnson

Emily Johnson
(photo by Cameron Wittig)
In this video, Emily Johnson--Minneapolis-based Bessie Award winner and 2013 Creative Capital grantee--looks ahead to her intriguing new project, Shore, set to premiere in June 2014. Shore is a work about "gathering to create connections" and warmly invites participants to forge community in numerous ways.

Shore is a multi-day performance/installation of dance, volunteerism, feasting and storytelling. It is a place audiences choose to visit once or many times, as participants or observers. The project develops in each venue over an extended period of time, requiring conversation and collaboration among organizations. Shore begins with a feast, followed by a night of curated storytelling. During the day, participants propose and carry out volunteer activities needed in their home communities. Staged performances that move from outdoors to the stage take place at night.
Learn more about Shore here.

Volunteer with Remember The Triangle Fire Coalition

Performance artist Annie Lanzillotto sent the following interesting announcement and appeal. As an ILGWU baby, I also feel strongly that this is an important commemoration.

*****************************************

Remember The Triangle Fire Coalition Get involved in this living history project:
  • Join the Facebook group: Remember The Triangle Fire.
  • Sign your organization on as a participating group.
  • Attend the brainstorm launch this March at The Judson Church.
  • To donate food, drink, cash or skills for the event, contact: ruth@streetpictures.com
We are organizing a launch for the creation of a fitting memorial for the March 25, 2011 centennial of the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire victims. We aim to get 146 organizations involved, one for each of the folks who perished. The Triangle Fire is very relevant today in terms of labor safety; its history is Jewish and Italian immigrant women who sewed in the sweatshop and got locked in fire.

Immediately we seek organizations to sign onto the project for our launch at The Judson Church, NYC this March (date and time TBA). This will be a gathering of the minds, where New Yorkers and organizations come together creatively to plan for the future. Participating organizations already include: CityLore, Gotham Center, MALIA Collective of Italian American Women, Calandra Institute for Italian American Studies (CUNY), The Reliquary Museum, Street Cry Productions.
We are actors, agitators, artists, educators, descendants of the victims, writers, filmmakers, historians, organizers, and photographers joined together to honor the memory of the victims of the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire of 1911 and to keep the spirit of their sacrifice alive. Of the 146 deaths, three sets of sisters died in the fire: Bettina and Frances Miale, Lucia and Rosaria Maltese, and Sara and Tessie Saracino. Their deaths ignited the labor movement and fire safety laws. The disastrous factory fire led to some of the first city, state, and federal laws dealing with workers safety and the growth of the International Ladies Garment Workers Union. The "Factory Investigating Commission" was formed pushing through sweeping labor and safety laws that would transform the workplace. The new laws focused on protecting human beings over buildings. We are working toward the Centenary Memorial event March 2011.

The Paul Taylor Dance Company makes its home in New York City and performs each year at New York City Center. In addition the Paul Taylor Dance Company tours extensively, having performed in more than 520 cities in 62 countries since 1954.

The mission of the Paul Taylor Dance Foundation is to share Mr. Taylor’s work and distinct artistic style through performances and educational outreach, ensure that Mr. Taylor has the financial resources to create two new works each year, and to document and preserve Mr. Taylor’s repertory for future generations.

Volunteers are needed for the Paul Taylor Dance Company’s 2009 City Center Season from February 25th through March 15th. Volunteers will assist with the gift shop, patrons lounge and premium ticket holder seating. As usual, volunteers are invited to enjoy the Company’s performance each time they volunteer.

Volunteers must arrive at New York City Center one hour before the performance. We ask that volunteers wear a white shirt and black pants or black skirt. There is a brief volunteer meeting at City Center on Saturday, February 21st at 11am. This meeting is intended to ensure that everyone is familiar with the theater, this year’s merchandise, and volunteer responsibilities.

Volunteer with Wendy Osserman Dance Company

Wendy Osserman Dance Company requests a volunteer to assist with promotion and all aspects of the production of her new Gertrude Stein piece, more is more is more is less, May 21-24, presented in association with the Joyce SoHo. The volunteer would be needed one or two half-days per week.

Osserman's project includes four dancers and Czech singer/violinist/composer, Iva Bittová. Songs are composed and played live by Bittová, inspired by Gertrude Stein whose writing continues to sound avant garde. Osserman, the dancers and Bittová explore how that can be: they trade identities, avoid narrative and recall paintings by Stein's friends Picasso and Matisse.

Osserman's choreography for last year's collaboration with Bittová was described as "provocative precisely because it feels like a new amalgam of some indefinible kind." NEW YORK TIMES, 3/29/08.

Volunteer with Jessica Danser/dansfolk

Jessica Danser/dansfolk is a non-profit contemporary dance company founded in 2005. Jessica Danser founded the company with the vision of creating work which is accessible and empowering to non-artists, particularly women and underserved populations, by utilizing abstract movement, text, and dance-theatre to express themes relevant to today’s society, and using individual experience as a microcosm of contemporary life.

JD/df will be presenting three full evening showcases in the Bronx: March 13 and 15 at the Bronx Academy of Arts and Dance-BAAD! and March 22 at Synthetic Zero Art Space. The theme of these evenings, entitled "The Opposite of War," is the physicality of protest and dance’s potential as a tool for nonviolent resistance.

Volunteer needs
(ongoing, with biggest crunch in the month of February)


Assisting with mailings (label sticking etc); posting online announcements on various websites; hanging flyers and distributing postacards in the Bronx and greater NYC area; ironing costumes; burning DVDs.

Computer research/design skills are an ongoing need but not necessary. Familiarity with the internet is a plus. Work can occur in my home office in the Bronx or electronically from the home of the volunteers in some instances. I would be happy to offer volunteers complimentary tickets to the shows.


Contact: our Myspace site or dansfolk@hotmail.com or 917-923-3126 (Jessica Danser, Artistic Director)
