Bright and early Saturday morning staffers from Dance Theater Workshop and PS 122 gathered at Heckscher Ballfield in Central Park to battle it out in a kickball tournament. PS 122 supposedly scored 13 points to our 2, but our runs can be clearly accounted for in the video below… PS do you have any proof?

And a round of applause for Jodi Bender, the only Danspace Project employee to show up - hey Danspace what was all that smack talk?

This Saturday, come out and watch as the staff from Dance Theater Workshop, PS 122, and Danspace battle it out to see which is the greatest kickball team of them all (or of the 3 teams, at least). While I can’t say we’ll follow many of the actual regulations set forth by the World Adult Kickball Association, I can say that Dance Theater Workshop will probably dominate.

Bring the family! Bring a picnic! Join the fun!

Saturday, August 2nd
11am - 4pm

As we mentioned last month, the Dance Theater Workshop stage is about to go through some structural repairs. In order to make that happen, we needed to empty out the theater. This week, the staff teamed up and created a line leading from the lobby, up the stairs and into one of our studios to move several hundred stage lights.

Evidence that we’re not opposed to physical labor below.

Apollinaire Scherr writes about Neil Greenberg’s June performances on her blog, Foot in Mouth.

“‘It’s so internal!’ my friend Amanda says with admiration about Neil Greenberg’s “Really Queer Dance with Harps,” which premiered a couple of weeks ago at Dance Theater Workshop. One move–a series of changements on half-point–reminded her of a schizophrenic she’d seen outside a hospital in Rome jangling his insides with stiff little jumps.”  Read on.

“…Greenberg queries in poetic, unemphatic ways our habit of defining what’s ‘masculine’ and what’s ‘feminine.’”  Read the full review at The Village Voice online.
