For nearly 50 years the legendary dance photographer, Paul Kolnik, helped create the visual identity of the New York City Ballet.
PlusWorld-class review of ballet and dance.
Lists of Promise,” a new work currently in a two-week run from March 13- 30 at the East Village cultural landmark, Theater for the New City, promised more than it delivered, at least for now. The physical theater creation by experimental theater director Ildiko Nemeth and veteran choreographer and performing artist Lisa Giobbi treats the troubling issue of patriarchal dominance—from its emergence in history and some of its perverse suppression of women through to the current time. Inspired by the 1976 feminist classic When God was a Woman by Merlin Stone, the production rolls (literally—as the narrator performs on roller skates) through a series of vignettes tracing a disparate group of women from different historical periods and circumstances in a consciousness-raising check-in.
