Experience dance in a new way at The Joyce
this week with NY Quadrille:
Conceived and curated by Lar Lubovitch.
One challenge. Four choreographic responses.
A quadrille is an 18th century dance performed in a rectangular configuration and viewed from four sides. To kick off its 2016/17 season, The Joyce Theater has been transformed for the NY Quadrille, a sensational two-week engagement created by renowned choreographer Lar Lubovitch and commissioned by The Joyce featuring a specially constructed platform stage designed to create viewing from four sides. Following through with the spirit of “four,” Lubovitch has selected four exciting choreographers—Pam Tanowitz, RoseAnne Spradlin, Tere O’Connor, and Loni Landon to create contemporary dance works on four sides. Each quadrille is being performed on its own program, with each program performed four times over the course of the two weeks. The first week was a great success, and there is now only one week remaining. This transformation of The Joyce challenges audiences to embrace a new concept of the theater’s physical space and to appreciate the artistry of the four choreographers chosen to participate in this exciting event.
