Screening | Karen Kramer's Documentary The Ballad of Greenwich Village (2005)


With Edward Albee, Judy Collins and Allen Ginsberg. The artists, rebels, and bohemians who came to New York's Greenwich Village over many decades changed the face of American culture through their art and politics. This film portrays the important political and social movements that began in the Village: the first interracial jazz club, the earliest Socialist newspapers from before World War I, the Stonewall Rebellion. This unique history includes anecdotes from many famous writers, musicians and performers who got their start in the Village and interweaves past and present, with 16mm footage, archival photographs, Hollywood movies, cartoons, informative interviews and scenes of contemporary village life. Accompanied by a lively soundtrack that ranges from ragtime to bebop to folk music, the film celebrates what was America's first bohemia. 70 min.

Dance Performance | Lydia Johnson Dance previews a new work to music by Philip Glass


Johnson, a choreographer hailed for her originality and sophisticated musicality, will present her company in a preview of a new work set to music by Philip Glass as well her Untitled, 2010, to music by Bach. The program will preview a new quartet set to Philip Glass's Piano Etudes and Poems for Solo Cello, which, like many of Lydia Johnson's works, is primarily abstract yet rings with emotional resonance. The piece sprang from the choreographer's recent stay at a rural summer cottage in Maine, an experience that evoked memories of childhood summers in rented homes in New England. Set in the interior of a summer house, the dance fuses the present with memories of relationships past. The showing will also include a performance of Untitled, 2010, to Solo Violin Partitas and Sonatas of JS Bach, created in 2010 for the Company's 10th Anniversary Season. Inspired simply by the intense beauty of the music, the piece unfolds through its three sections with a series of patterns and relationships - a pas de deux for a man and a woman, and a duet for two men emerge as central passages in this complex, layered work.
