World Premiere of “Fame Notions” by Gillian Walsh @ishellreal . May 17-19. Tickets available on PerformanceSpaceNewYork.org 🖤 REPOST: @nytimes 🖤 Speaking in Dance | “The whole thing is like demented serenity,” said the choreographer Gillian Walsh of her new work “Fame Notions,” which takes a close look at what it means to be an American dancer. For the piece, she said, she has created a setting “halfway between a park and a museum” to a score of “wildlife sounds, tacky meditation and angelic sounds of transcendence.” 🖤 While the show, at @performancespacenewyork starting Friday, runs around 3 hours, audience members can come and go. (This excerpt is a concentrated version.) Gillian, or @ishellreal, wanted to break free from only working with dancers in her sphere. “The insularity of the contemporary-experimental downtown scene makes me feel trapped,” she said. As part of her research, she interviewed dancers from all backgrounds about their ability to survive in the field; that led her to hold an audition through which she found her cast. “We’re working with the stock image of the dancer,” she told the #nytimes writer @giadk. “Tricks. Essentials of technique. It’s really slow and there’s a lot of stillness because stillness is basically my one true love.” @sbrackbill made this video for #SpeakingInDance, our weekly Wednesday series exploring the world of #dance.

Tonight! Thursday, May 15 is the World Premiere of “Penumbra” by Hannah Black @nanpansky and Juliana Huxtable @julianahuxtable . 💥 More tickets are now available online! So visit PerformanceSpaceNewYork.org to buy tickets now. No doubt, this should not be missed. 💥 Video: Juliana Huxtable
