{Dd} Short Short List: May 19-25
What’s not to like when a choreographer, Lauren Camp (director of dance at MadArt), A composer Alex Weston, pianist Salome Scheidegger , Iktus Percussion and a visual artist, Chaz Ganster—all of whom share outstanding resumes (including Chaz who previously worked with Eiko and Koma)– collaborate on a new work?
On May 23rd and 24th, MadArt, “a multi-disciplinary performing arts company dedicated to engaging communities through arts programming and events planning”, is premiering their most recent work, ONDINE, at Clemente Soto Velez Cultural Center in Lower East Side.
An impressive undertaking, ONDINE is specifically a performance about “finding serenity in an over-stimulated world.” Santino Lo, the director and producer of MadArt, came up with this idea while listening to Ravel’s Gaspard de la nuit on the Times Square subway platform. The peace and calm he experienced in the midst of such chaos pointed to a disconnect. He shared the idea with his collaborators and they began working on their segments of the project alone before eventually joining forces.
So warm-up your senses and be prepared for full stimulation- you surely won’t be disappointed.
