December 8:
PARADISE AND ITS DIS-EASE
A Live Art
Installation by jill
sigman/thinkdance
|
PARADISE AND ITS
DIS-EASE is a durational performance ritual using
movement, sound, objects, and fluorescent junk foods. For
4 hours, Sigman will be
"in the ring", as object, icon, mover, and substance; each
hour will begin a new phase of the installation, addressing
the decadence, deterioration, and dis-ease of our time in a
different way. She will be accompanied alternately by DJ Joro Boro and
composer/musicians Kristin
Norderval (voice and electronics) and Gustavo Aguilar (percussion),
and assisted by performative helpers Donna Costello and Jennifer Sydor. A live art
installation, PARADISE AND ITS
DIS-EASE is a hybrid gallery/performance/club
environment. Join us for this experiment.

PLEASE NOTE: This is
an ONGOING LIVE EVENT
that changes slowly over time. Come any time. Stay as long
as you like. Have a drink and hang out. Better yet, leave and
come back again to witness it at different points during the
evening. You can go across the street to The ARCHIVE Coffee
Bar for a snack, or wander down the hall to Studio #215 to see
PERMANENT
PRESENT, a group show of visual art works by artists
Gina Beavers, Marilyn Dizikes, Christopher Hines, James
Reynolds, Justin Rymer, and Stephanie Rivers. Then come back
and visit again.
From
choreographer/artist Jill Sigman:
For
years I have been allowing the material I am working to have
different incarnations in different media. PARADISE AND ITS
DIS-EASE is an installation which is also a stop along the way
in the process of creating a new dance work. For me,
durational explorations like this one are an important part of
the process of creating something that may eventually look
extremely
different.

Directions
to
1 Grattan
Street, Studio #221:
Take
the L train to
the Morgan Avenue stop (6th stop in Brooklyn).
If
you
are coming from Manhattan stay in the rear of the train. When
you
exit
at Morgan Avenue, take the stairs labelled "Bogart Street
&
Harrison
Place" (near the back end of the platform). When you exit
the
subway
onto Bogart Street, you will see a large yellow brick building
in
front
of you; this is actually the building the studio is in. Walk
to
your
right on Bogart half a block toward Brooklyn's Natural health
food
store.
Just past Brooklyn's Natural make a left onto Grattan
Street. The
entrance
(1 Grattan
Street) is just a few paces in from the corner.
We
are
in Studio #221 on the second
floor. |
We
hope to see you in December! Best wishes as winter
approaches,
