All are welcome!Ian Andrew Askew presents: SLAMDANCE punk lessons (World Premiere)SLAMDANCE punk lessons is the third iteration in the SLAMDANCE series, an ongoing project on punk and blackness. With punk lessons, Askew continues their research on moshing as a site of simulated violence and as a social dance which emerges, in part, from African diasporic traditions. Borrowing from instructional dance videos, boxing rulebooks, and international humanitarian law, Askew invites the audience to consider who is protected by the rules created to control violence and curtail its impact. Direction: Ian Andrew AskewCreated and performed by: Ian Andrew Askew in collaboration with Cheyanne Williams, Anthony Sertel Dean, Itohan Edoloyi, and Justin AllenJohnnie Cruise Mercer presents: Mercies of a Butterfly (World Premiere)"Mercies of a Butterfly" is a one act dance theater work, performed and created by Johnnie Cruise Mercer. A movement allegory about resilience, the work follows a recently born spirit as it contends with the weight of changing. With Mercer’s meta-physical history at its root, the work spills out as a testimony on both flying through and weathering the storm!Choreography, Direction, Performance: Johnnie Cruise MercerMusic: Young Denzel (Music Producer), Robert McSweeney (Horn Player), and Jean Chalot (Drummer & Percussionist)Design: Torian Ugworji (Visual Design & Creative Direction), Pierre Rashad (Wardrobe Design)Please consider making a tax-deductible donation to Pioneers Go East Collective, which directly supports artists and programs like this one!DIRECTIONS:Judson Memorial Church243 Thompson StreetNew York, NY 10012Subway:A, C, E, B, D, F, M to West 4th StreetR to NYU 8th StreetAccessibility:Our accessible entrance is by way of 243 Thompson St. Use the lift to get to the Meeting Room on Level 3 or our accessible bathrooms on Level B (basement).
