New Moves

Mana Contemporary

In partnership with <a href="https://gibneydance.org/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Gibney Dance</a>Join performers J. Bouey, Elena Demyanenko, Javier Padilla, and Marion Spencer in a community setting, as they share new work developed in their choreographic residencies at Mana. The performers showcase new ideas in the field of dance, and engage in cross-pollination between creative communities in New York and Jersey City. The works interrogate a range of themes, from Demyanenko’s exploration of color and saturated light, through three solo works that combine to produce In welter, to Padilla’s dance theater work in the quiet of the wood, examining the mysteries of dreams and the hidden symbols that lurk within them. Spencer presents to love the rise, a developing dance exploring conscious femininity, ambition, liminal space, and transformation.J. BOUEYJ. Bouey is a current member of the Bill T. Jones/Arnie Zane Company, founder and co-host of the Dance Union Podcast with Melanie Greene, and creator of original performance work.ELENA DEMYANENKOElena Demyanenko is a Russian-born graduate of the Academy of Theatrical Arts in Moscow.
