Dance to Belong: A History of Dance at 92NY
A New Exhibition
March 12 through October 31, 2024
Weill Art Gallery
The 92nd Street Y, New York (92NY), one of New York’s leading cultural venues, presents Dancing the 92nd Street Y: A 150th Anniversary Celebration, welcoming three legendary companies whose founders made these halls their home — Ailey II, Martha Graham Dance Company, and José Limón Dance Company. Bridging generations of pioneering dance makers, the evening pairs these dance companies with leading contemporary artists — Omar Román De Jesús, Jamar Roberts, and Hope Boykin — for a one-night-only celebration of the legendary choreographers and performers who shaped modern dance, and the stage that first welcomed them. This landmark performance is on Tuesday, March 12, 2024 at 7:30 pm at the Kaufmann Concert Hall. Tickets start at $30 and are available at https://www.92ny.org/event/
In celebration of 150 years of dedication to artists and community, 92NY's new exhibition Dance to Belong: A History of Dance at 92NY, will be on view in the Weill Art Gallery from March 12, 2024, until Oct 31, 2024. The exhibition testifies to 92NY as a key site in dance and belonging. Photographs, performance programs, artwork, digital media, rare film footage, and other unseen ephemera render 92NY’s crucial place as a preeminent cultural institution located in the heart of New York City.
This singular exhibition illuminates 92NY’s historical importance as a sanctuary space in which dance history is made. Immigrants, BIPOC, and Jewish dance artists from 1874, when 92NY first opened its doors, to 2024 have made 92NY home. In its early years, 92NY was one of the only places that offered access to dance studios, classes, lectures, and performances for people of all racial, ethnic, religious, or cultural backgrounds. Co-curated by Jessica Friedman, PhD, and Ninotchka Bennahum, PhD with Jeanne Haffner, PhD of Thinc Design.
The Milton J. Weill Art Gallery is open to patrons of Kaufmann Concert Hall during regularly scheduled events. Viewing hours are Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 3 pm - 5 pm and Tuesday, Thursday, and Sunday from 9 am - 11 am. In addition, special viewing hours can be arranged.

The Limón Dance Company
José Limón’s There is a Time
Premiered in 1956, There is a Time is based on the historic poem from the Bible, Ecclesiastes: "To Everything there is a season and a time for every purpose under the Sun." This poem, based on the cycle of universal human experiences, is rich in both ideas and words. The piece is conceived in 12 sections (with a round dance for both Prologue and Finale) and takes its inspiration from that passage in Chapter 3 of “Ecclesiastes” that starts: “To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven.” Each of the temporal activities mentioned by the Old Testament scribe—”a time to laugh” . . . . “a time to mourn” . . . . “a time to dance.”
Omar Román De Jesús’ Like Those Playground Kids at Midnight
In a world that often seeks to stifle individuality, “Like Those Playground Kids at Midnight” stands as a beacon of defiance, encouraging all to embrace their uniqueness and challenge the boundaries that confine them. It invites us to traverse the enigmatic landscapes of desire, identity, and aspiration, all while advocating for the liberation of the soul.
The Martha Graham Dance Company
Martha Graham’s Suite from Appalachian Spring
The Appalachian Spring Suite is a narrated presentation of highlights from Appalachian Spring that gives the audience an inside look at the remarkable collaboration between Martha Graham and Aaron Copland. The dancing is introduced by text borrowed from Graham’s letters to Copland. Her eloquent and intimate descriptions of the characters, setting and atmosphere for the work are matched with the end result – the music and dance they inspired. Copland’s Pulitzer Prize winning score and the clean, athletic Graham choreography clearly embody her early writings about the dance. The Appalachian Spring Suite offers the audience unique insight into the creative process of these two geniuses.
Jamar Roberts’ We the People
We The People, a radical new piece from Jamar Roberts, was made possible with a significant commissioning grant from The O’Donnell-Green Music and Dance Foundation. This production was also made possible by The 92nd Street Y, as part of 92NY’s 150th anniversary celebration, in honor and continued support of Martha Graham’s rich 92NY legacy. Production support was provided by the University of Michigan.
The Alvin Ailey American Dance Company’s Ailey II
Ailey Classics is a collection of excerpts from three beloved works choreographed by Alvin Ailey between 1958 and 1972. This work of highlights features excerpts from Mr. Ailey’s first masterpiece Blues Suite, the lyrical and romantic The Lark Ascending, and his standout ballet Streams.
Hope Boykin’s “Manifesting Legacy”
A world premiere celebrating 92NY’s 150th anniversary and commissioned specifically for this event. Manifesting Legacy explores Boykin’s influences and lessons learned, marking her history and love of the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, and giving tribute to the leaders who made room for her to continue to grow as a mover and maker. Her twenty-year career as a performer was just the beginning — this new work is her thank you.

17) GEORGE STREET PLAYHOUSE
TO LIVE STREAM THE FINAL FOUR PERFORMANCES OF
THE WORLD PREMIERE PLAY
THE CLUB
WRITTEN BY CHRIS BOHJALIAN
DIRECTED BY DAVID SAINT
IN PARTNERSHIP WITH
THE LEAGUE OF LIVE STREAM THEATER
George Street Playhouse (David Saint, Artistic Director & Edgar Herrera, Managing Director) and The League of Live Stream Theater announced today that The Club, written by Chris Bohjalian (The Flight Attendant, The Lioness) and directed by David Saint, will be available for streaming. The simulcast performances will be held on Friday March 15 at 8pm ET, Saturday March 16 at 2pm and 8pm ET, and Sunday March 17 at 2pm ET. Tickets to the livestreamed performances begin at $49 and are currently on sale at www.lolst.org/theclub.
Everyone wants to belong to the club, but what will it cost you?
Three married couples collide in a suburban living room one autumn Sunday – what they think is a refuge from the rock ‘n roll turbulence outside their neighborhood – only to discover there’s no escape from the era’s cultural upheaval.
Chris Bohjalian’s The Club is rich with biting wit and startling twists as it explores racism, marriage, and the lies we tell ourselves daily. And though the play is set in 1968, it’s eerily timely.
Tickets to in-person performances of The Club begin at $25 and are available at www.georgestreetplayhouse.org/

18) GINGOLD THEATRICAL GROUP
THE 19TH SEASON OF
PROJECT SHAW
BEGINS WITH
A SPECIAL BENEFIT PERFORMANCE OF
GEORGE BERNARD SHAW’S
MRS. WARREN’S PROFESSION
MONDAY MARCH 18th AT 7PM
AT SYMPHONY SPACE’S
LEONARD NIMOY THALIA THEATRE
TICKETS AVAILABLE HERE
Gingold Theatrical Group (GTG) (David Staller: Artistic Director, Isaiah Josiah: Managing Producer) announced today that Mrs. Warren’s Profession by George Bernard Shaw will kick-off their 19th season of Project Shaw. Inspired by the works of George Bernard Shaw, Project Shaw is a special series of Script-In-Hand performances that aim to provoke peaceful discussion and activism. Each performance is followed by a lively post-show discussion with the cast and director. Directed by Lily Kanter Riopelle, Mrs. Warren’s Profession will be presented at Symphony Space’s Leonard Nimoy Thalia Theatre (2537 Broadway at 95th Street) on Monday March 18, 2024, at 7PM. To learn more and reserve tickets, visit symphonyspace.org/
Why MRS. WARREN’S PROFESSION now? George Bernard Shaw built his life on controversy, determined to be the voice of empowerment for the disenfranchised. In a world where women have no legal rights, his play examines a woman who, coming from nothing, has become one of the most wealthy and powerful of executives running an international string of high-class brothels, keeping her life hidden from her daughter. Only when the truth is revealed does the house of cards topple. His larger question is “what price independence?”
Additional readings for the 19th season of Project Shaw will include Noel Coward’s first play (attempting to mimic Shaw), I’ll Leave It To You, on April 29; followed by Shaw’s highly entertaining Heartbreak House on May 20; and an adaptation of Oscar Wilde’s theoretical romantic short story about Shakespeare’s sonnets, The Portrait Of Mr. W.H. on June 24 to help kick-off NYC Pride week. All Project Shaw readings will be presented in a concert-reading format at the Leonard Nimoy Thalia Theater at Symphony Space. Tickets are $40 and will be available for purchase by calling 212-864-5400 or visiting www.symphonyspace.org
For more information about Project Shaw and all the programs at Gingold Theatrical Group, call 212-355-7823, email info@gingoldgroup.org, or visit gingoldgroup.org.

25) ZviDance Presents the World Premiere of
THE FIELD
March 14-16, 2024 at New York Live Arts |
ZviDance presents THE FIELD, an original dance piece from acclaimed choreographer and artistic director, Zvi Gotheiner, with longtime collaborators Scott Killian (composer), and Mark London (lighting designer), from March 14 - 16, 2024 at 7:30pm, and March 16 at 2pm, presented at New York Live Arts, 219 W. 19th Street, NYC. THE FIELD is a continuation and deepening of Gotheiner’s thematic exploration of the collisions between humanity and nature. Tickets start at $20 for students and seniors, and $25 for general admission. For ticketing, visit https://newyorklivearts.org/
In March 2021, Artistic Director/Choreographer Zvi Gotheiner experienced a life-changing event—a stroke that paralyzed his left side. Since then he has been on a journey of exploring new ways to continue his creative
practice of making dance and working with his dancers, while managing movement limitations in his own physical body.
THE FIELD utilizes group work, duets, solos and trios to explore a sense of space that is potent with the possibility of growth, and a deep connection to it, but also a space that is possibly infected with conflicts of ownership and possession. Drawing from his roots growing up in a kibbutz in Israel, where Gotheiner used to work in the field, the piece explores relationships to other kinds of fields, including magnetic fields, battlefields, agricultural fields and other ways of defining borders and identities.
Through movement, Gotheiner explores imagery of tilling the soil, planting and harvesting to explore the rituals of man in relation to the fertile land, to create perhaps a new ritual that is contemporary and relevant for our current culture—a culture in which former rituals have been supplanted by convenience buying, purchasing our food in the supermarket, and seemingly no connection or appreciation to how food is grown or the way nature provides for us.
Dancers:
Piper Dye, Madison Elliott, Colin
