Theaterlab Presents the World Premiere of MAGDALENA
Theaterlab presents the world premiere of MAGDALENA, an intimate multimedia solo work by the award-winning filmmaker and a Guggenheim Fellow Gabri Christa. Utilizing storytelling, visuals, and dance, the artist reveals a deeply personal account of experiencing her Dutch mother's dementia, and an effort to piece together her past, marked by struggles with war, interracial marriage and unconventional motherhood. The piece marks a stage comeback for Christa, whose work has been hailed as "stunning... multimedia dream" by The New York Times. The work will be presented at Theaterlab (357 West 36th Street, 3rd floor), opening on Wednesday, September 12 and running Wednesdays thru Saturdays until September 22. Tickets are $20 and can be purchased via Ovationtix (https://web.ovationtix.com/trs/pr/996199) or by calling 866-811-4111.

The CAKE is Coming!
September 2018.
SLMDances will perform CAKE at the 10th Annual Collaborations in Dance Festival at Triskelion Arts. CAKE points to the booty-shaking childhood games Black girls played while our mothers and grandmothers taught us what it is to be "lady-like." When we do away with that shame around our bodies, how do we create new, free realities?

In Untamed Space, Renegade Performance Group and choreographer André M. Zachery offer a compelling look at 21st-century African American identity through the lens of maroon colonies. These independent communities were established in the 17th and 18th centuries by self-liberated Africans who escaped slavery by fleeing to mountains, forests, and other hard-to-reach areas after arriving in the Americas. Untamed Space considers the spiritual dimensions and lasting influence of these settlements, or as Zachery calls them, “impassible spaces.”
