Join us for the inaugural evening of Bryant Park PresentsDance this Friday evening. Celebrate the
expressive power of the human body and unwind from your busy week.
This Friday evening is the kickoff to our three-part series
and will feature performances by two of New York City’s top contemporary dance
studios. You won’t forget the grace,
power, and emotion of Shannon Gillen + Guests and Sidra Bell Dance New York.
Shannon Gillen + Guests
This Brooklyn-based, primarily female dance company is known for its intricate and lush
physicality that is drawn from the body's natural desire to communicate. Gillen’s company is grounded by a rigorous
exploration, showcasing the surprising resources of the imagination. On Friday the company will perform two
pieces. ON CERTAINTY explores a
systematic and epistemological approach to movement inspired by the philosopher
Wittgenstein. The second piece, titled VAROSHA,
chronicles the preserved debris of a beach town abandoned under duress during
the invasion of Cyprus in 1974.
Sidra
Bell Dance New York
This NYC-based,
boutique dance company presents highly innovative and provocative dance theater
works. Sidra Bell is a sought-after
voice in contemporary dance with works that explore the complexities of the
human condition. The company will
present an excerpt from its work STELLA, which observes both how remarkable and
unremarkable our humanity can be while continuing the futile effort to leave a
permanent imprint.
Friday, 6:00pm – 7:30pm
