Fridays @ Noon with The Field

2011-12-15T11:12:00.000-08:00

I had the pleasure of performing my new Solo last Friday at the 92nd Street Y's Fridays @ Noon, as part of The Field's 25th year celebration. The program also included works by Neta Pulvermacher and Yanira Castro, and the first part of the event included showing clips of past works.

I showed a 4 minute clip of the entrance solo of my evening length work Leave Yourself At The Door, Please! 2003, performed at Joyce SoHo.

The performances were followed by a lively conversation with 5th graders.

Impressions from the audience:

2011-08-29T07:46:00.000-07:00

"Witty and sophisticated! The text is just enough to hint at you, and it doesn't hit you over the head!"
Sean Curran, Choreographer

"I look forward to seeing more of your work!"
Deborah, John and Sylvia

"Loved it! There was plenty of humor, suspense, sarcasm and beautiful movement" Roger, Visual artist

"Great to see a dance show with plenty of DANCE!"
Doug

"I saw Regina in her new performance on Tuesday August 16 and I really enjoyed it. I especially loved the dialogue coupled with the contemporary dance. Regina is a wonderful dancer and doesn't spare any movement. Life is an ongoing movement process and we continue although sometimes we don't know where we are going. Life dilemas are always a part of it.

Thanks for inviting me. Keep me posted with any new events."
Henrietta, occupational therapist

Opening night!

2010-03-19T09:18:00.000-07:00

We had a wonderful opening weekend! Even though it seemed like we were in the middle of a hurricane in New York City!

After about four months of intense rehearsals, my dancers, collaborators and I were very excited to see ANNETTE materialize into its own world! This time the dancers and I pushed ourselves beyond just movement! I am always amazed at the creative process; how things fall together and how after a long time of working with a puzzle the piece reveals itself.

This piece required more speaking onstage than what I usually do, which I combined with my crafted and athletic movement. I felt this was a huge achievement, and I am glad the dancers and I stretched ourselves into new territory and to be honest, I have to thank the real ANNETTE whose fearless flamboyance was a constant source of inspiration!

I feel very fortunate to have had this experience of working at Dixon Place! Nowadays, it is such an advantage for an artist to be able to develop the work and perform it in the same place. Dixon Place has been very generous each step of the way, and they have a fabulous new theater!

Come check it out! Mention "OLIVER" at the box-office, this weekend and you get 2 for1 ($20).

What's been said:

"Fame. Fashion. Madness. Humor. Sex. Love. Delusions of Grandeur... all in an AMAZING LIVE TECHNICOLOR production of ANNETTE. EVERYONE was absolutely ENTHRALLED. This is a perfect show in this reality-show world we live in. Absolutely ...Delightful. Every minute is a fun filled kaleidoscope fantasy."

Annette and Oliver, two fragmented characters struggle for survival and understanding in this multi-media dance piece, inspired by choreographer Regina Nejman’s own experiences teaching in a psychiatric outpatient program. Methodical and meditative movements combined with a deconstructed soundscape will fill the stage creating a dream-like environment and a search for balance accented throughout by a sense of humor.
