In this workshop, we are interested in examining the body as a reverential archive of dance history. Together we will experiment with reconfiguration and interpretation of a shared archive using material from dances of our childhood, movement trainings, pop culture influences, techniques and ghosts of dancers and dances past.

The Floor’s Post Professional Performance (PPP) workshops acts as a platform for dancers to continue work in the studio and on stage. The goal of this workshop is to offer an opportunity to enjoy the process and performance of dance amongst fellow peers. Each session hosts a curated choreographer. Over the course of 10 weeks a piece is created on the group. The workshop concludes with a showing of the work. We are proud to have shared the stage with over 40 dancers, ages ranging from 27-70 years old.

Created in 2015 by Jamie Dowd, this POST-PROFESSIONAL WORKSHOP is a response to the lack of opportunity for dancers who had moved passed their professional career. The intent of this workshop is to bring dancers together in every stage of their life.

Creating a new work on the sophomore class of the Ailey/Fordham BFA program.

Performances - 11/06, 11/07, 11/08 @ The Ailey Citigroup Theater

Fallacies blurs the lines between original source and personal interpretation, constructing dance from a dancer’s perspective. Distorting referential choreography to reveal new patterns and physical possibilities, the piece materializes as a Rorschach test of dance. When the movement is stripped down, what do you see? By rendering movement through the lens of its performers, Fallacies makes invisible embodied histories visible.

In addition to performances June 8 and 9, audiences are invited to join a workshop with Nattie Trogdon + Hollis Bartlett at 5pm on Sunday, June 9 to learn movement from Fallacies, gaining insight into the piece's various original sources before seeing the performance that evening.

Choreography: Nattie Trogdon + Hollis Bartlett in collaboration with the performers

Performed by: Katerina Belmatch, Sienna Blaw, Dwayne Brown, Brendan Drake, and Noa Rui-Piin Weiss

Costumes by: Marlene Hamm

The Purchase Dance Company’s Fall Concert features an exciting and diverse range of world premieres and renowned repertory works in order to showcase the dynamic range of the company’s professional caliber students and reflect the Conservatory’s stature as a leading center for world-class dance training.

We are thrilled to present seminal choreographer Trisha Brown’s Groove and Countermove (2000), a postmodern masterpiece.  Celebrated Guggenheim Fellow Andrea Miller, Artistic Director of GALLIM dance, will keep the audience riveted with SAMA (2019), a dramatic contemporary work. Two exciting commissions have enabled our students to be an integral part of the creative process as our guest choreographers bring their visions to the stage.  Dance alum Jenelle Figgins, a Princess Grace Fellow, will present SPREAD (2021), a poetic contemporary ballet work first commissioned for our Dance majors during the height of the pandemic. Rounding out the program, innovative duo, and current Conservatory of Dance faculty members, Hollis Bartlett & Dance alum Nattie Trogdon, will premiere Phantasm, a dynamic contemporary piece, created expressly for this season.

The performance on Friday, December 8 will be preceded by an Artist Talk at 7:15pm.

Thrilled to continue working on Fallacies through LMCC Arts Center Residency. We’ll be out here August - December in our workspace continuing our practice of archiving, decomposing, and recomposing dances of our lineage. We’re thrilled to have this space and time to deepen into this research and are excited to be collaboration with sound designer Vasu Panicker, video and projection designer Alex Romania, archivist Myssi Robinson and dancers Wendell Gray II, Brendan Drake, Symara Johnson, Noa Weiss and Kat Belmatch.

The Arts Center at Governors Island is home to year-round artist residency programs for artists working in any discipline. LMCC’s residency programs aim to meet the immediate studio space needs of the artist community we serve by converting unconventional, vacant spaces into work and process space for artists. With the Arts Center at Governors Island, LMCC established our first permanent location for artistic process, presentation and gathering. LMCC’s residency programs are a vital part of our commitment to ensuring artists have free, collaborative space for creative development and production in New York City today and long into our shared futures.

The 2023 Arts Center Residency will offer residencies to artists and creative practitioners, currently in need of studio space to support their practice, who are interested in a short-term residency experience focused on experimentation, ongoing development, and being in dialogue with fellow residents. LMCC welcomes applications from artists whose practice is self-directed and process-based and would benefit from the unique resource of the Arts Center at Governors Island serving as an incubator for research and interdisciplinary collaboration.

Sightlines is a new dance residency and performance program featuring four new works by a group of choreographers sharing their work in conversation with each other.  Presented at Coffey Street Studio, a 19th-century warehouse in Red Hook, the artists will have three weeks to develop their pieces within this unique space. The festival will culminate in a rotating series of split bills May 18-25, so no two evenings are the same. We hope this curatorial collage will provide a new perspective on each piece, informing both our own creative process and the audience experience. The choreographers will also share their research and practice through free open classes.
