Love letter to dance
BOMBblog posted some wonderful thoughts on dance audience building from Jacob Pillow’s Ella Baff. (with notes from Presenting Dance, a book by Mindy Levine in collaboration with Jacob’s Pillow.)
Of course, we are no strangers to this conversation. And perhaps you have more to say on this… or stories like Ella Baff’s when overhearing new dance goers express their post-show uneasiness.

Hello All,
I work for The Lincoln Center Festival. I think that anyone reading this website may be interested in one of our shows. We have an Israeli choreographer, Emanuel Gat, and his company, Emanuel Gat Dance, performing two of their pieces entitled Winter Variations and Silent Ballet. The shows are on July 14, 16, and 17 at 8:00. Tickets cost $20, 30, 40, and 50. Please feel free to call 212 875 5127 for more information. You may also visit Lincolncenter.org. We also invite you to look at our other shows in the festival. The Festival is truly magnificent, and Emanuel Gat is a brilliant choreographer. We hope you come, and enjoy.
Thank you for your consideration.
“Gat is renowned for the visual flair and focused expression of his works.”- The Guardian (London).
The following is a little blurb about Emanuel Gat Dance at The Lincoln Center Festival:
Emanuel Gat and his outstanding company from Israel/ France return to the Festival with two works that examine pure dance and its relationship to sound. IN the North American premiere of Silent Ballet, a reflection of Gat’s musical training at the Tel Aviv Academy, nine dancers are accompanied only by the sounds of their own motions, moving with their created soundtrack instead of following it. The New York premier of Gat’s latest duet with Roy Assaf, Winter Variations, examines movements of charged stillness for the movement potential they inhabit.
