Upcoming...get involved

Movementpants will be performing "La Spectra" at the the Tank on April 23rd and 24th at 9:30 pm. We've been working on this piece for over a year, experimenting, researching, playing and performing, and are very excited to be able to finally premiere it in NY this spring. But, we're not there yet. Indeed, we are still working days and nights. If you don't know, the new thing with dance companies is for them to post video of their rehearsals. Well, we are, according to ourselves, a dance company, and who are we go against the flock. So here's some of our last rehearsal where we hyped up what used to be a duet and made it a trio.

Another new thing with dance comapnies is to engage their audience in new ways. Why? Since they are a part of theater,and theater is dead (that's what they say anyway...if you don't believe me go check out "Really Bad Plays: 1 night, 8 awful plays" at New York Theater Workshop this Thursday night (3/5/09)), everybody is scrambling to keep they're loyal audiences engaged in between performances. Hence, blogs...rehearsal footage...remixing dances...and this. So, for our upcoming show, we are taking suggestions for songs for warm up numbers. You know, dance numbers to get your audience juices flowing. Just e-mail us your suggestion, or include it in a comment on this post. All entries received by March 21st will be entered into a lottery drawing and the first song chosen will have a dance made for our show in late April. There's only one criteria for your entry. It must be 3-5 minutes in length. And it must be a song...no soundscapes of you going to the bathroom like we received last time. So holler at us!!
