Dear Friends:

2014 was exciting year for the 2125 Stanley Street project.  With tremendous support from family, friends and a National Dance Project Special Grant, we previewed the project on a whirlwind West Coast Tour.  2125 Stanley Street was named one of the Top Five Artsy things to do in Los Angeles, sold out in San Francisco, was featured in Seattle Dances as well as Willamette Weekly   Following our tour we again deconstructed and reconfigured excerpts for our recent December showing in the Throw Series at The Chocolate Factory Theater in New York.  We are inspired to begin investigations for new work in 2015. Thank you to everyone who has supported us so far in so many ways!

This Spring, stay tuned for performances including a showing at Amherst College as part of the 2014-15 Copeland Colloquium Theme: Word in Transit: The Cultures of Translation, as well as an evening performance at the Dance Hall in Maine in Spring 2015. 

Wishing you Peace and Best Wishes in the New Year! 

With gratitude,

Dahlia


 
About the Stanley Street Project: 2125 Stanley Street is a contermpoary dance performance exploring deeply personal notions of home.  A rigorous collaboration between dancers/co-creators Dahlia Nayar, Margaret Sunghe Paek and cellist/composer Loren Kiyoshi Dempster, the performance adapts as it migrates to various spaces: a studio, a theater, a gallery, a community grange, a buddhist church.  We excavate the everyday and the mundane in search of a poetic consciousness, infusing basic tasks with virtuosity and nostalgia, summoning fragmented multilingual memories and lullabies from our childhoods. Ultimately, 2125 Stanley Street aims to invite the audience into an experience of collective belonging and non-belonging, a home that unfolds through movement, sound and intimate exchange, a home that is both familiar and cannot exactly be located.  See a video link here.

Special Thanks:  2125 Stanley Street has thus far been supported through residencies with the Vermont Performance Lab,  Bates Dance Festival and is also funded in part by the New England Foundation of the Arts' National Dance Project Special Projects Grant, with lead funding from the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation.  Donations to further support this project can be made here.  For more information, please visit www.dahlianayar.com
