Performance | Performance Art: John Kelly's Love of a Poet


Acclaimed performance artist John Kelly is recreating his Obie Award-winning work Love of a Poet. Music, movement, film and visual art combine in this performance installation built around Robert Schumann’s ‘Dichterliebe’ of 1840, the iconic song cycle of the Romantic Period based on poems by Heinrich Heine. Kelly, singing in his signature countertenor voice, portrays a lovesick poet hiding from the world as natural elements and personal demons haunt him and flood his space. The work examines the tensions between the everyday world and the seemingly irrational and supernatural projections of creative genius.

Concert | VP Records 35th Anniversary Concert: Maxi Priest / Gyptian / Bunji Garlin and Fay Ann Lyons / Massive B


Maxi Priest - With over 15 million albums sold worldwide, multiple Grammy nominations and Top 10 Billboard hits (including the No. 1 smash “Close To You”), Maxi Priest continues to hit the road throughout 2015 in support of his first studio album in almost a decade, Easy To Love.

Bunji Garlin - Born Ian Alvarez, the Trinidadian ragga soca star Bunji Garlin is known for blending of soca with dancehall. Hailed recently by Rolling Stone as “America’s first soca star,” Garlin has clearly taken his native country’s genre to new heights. His single “Differentology (Ready For The Road),” which was remixed by Major Lazer & Busta Rhymes, was a massive hit in North America more than a year after its release in the Caribbean. Fay Ann Lyons - Fay Ann Lyons is already a superstar in her native country of Trinidad and across the Caribbean. During Trinidad and Tobago’s Carnival season’s annual competitions, Fay Ann has set the record as the only female artist to score the Carnival Road March title three times, taking the crown in 2003, 2008 and 2009. Massive B - Massive B was formed over 10 years ago with DJ Bobby Konders’ vision of starting his own sound system. At its start, the voice behind Massive B was none other than Jabba. There have been many additions to Massive B as it continues to grow. New members include Big Dawg, Chudney Shotta, D-Life and X-Man, among others.

Dance Performance | Dance: Cribles/Wild Governors by Emmanuelle Huynh - Company Mùa


The latest piece from French choreographer Emmanuelle Hyunh’s ongoing series of site-specific and community-focused performances under the umbrella Cribles, with the titles and movements changing according to the performance’s community and location. The inspiration for the music Cribles comes from composer and music theorist Iannis Xenakis’s composition, Persephassa. Its movements are inspired by a long history of ritual dances from around the world that involve groups forming circles—a childish, archaic form that is a vehicle for celebrations, rites, wedding and war dances, processions, foot stomping, and harmonic movement. In Cribles/Wild Governors, New York City-based dancers will form a circle with linked hands in a performance that demonstrates that the community is inseparable from the individuals who comprise it and that it is always much more than the sum of its parts. Sometimes initiating and sometimes being led, these interconnected performers render visible a community’s relationship with, and the obstacles created by, individual power and solidarity with the group.

Dance Performance | Dance: White by Michelle Boulé


White is a subtle yet profound performance that explores what choreography means and its relationship to bodies in space and time. Boulé’s inspiration for White began during the early part of creating the dance when she asked herself if movement, like sound, could be perceived and transmitted across space with an invisible, yet perceivable resonance. The dance will be performed in an area of high foot traffic to the sound and the beat of the city, with audiences playing a key part in experience as a dance choreographed that examines movement, and the five senses.

Jazz | Jason Moran's Fats Waller Dance Party / Butler, Bernstein and The Hot 9


The astonishingly inventive pianist and composer JASON MORAN unleashes his fun side in this “joyous and foolish and graceful” (NY Times) event, a hip-shaking, eye-popping spectacle complete with dancers and costumes that takes the stride innovator Fats Waller as a jumping off point to dig into grooves that flirt with everything from Motown to house to hip-hop. A McArthur Fellow and only the second person after the legendary Billy Taylor to hold the prestigious Artistic Advisor for Jazz post at the Kennedy Center (he has since been elevated to Artistic Director for Jazz), Moran has become one of the form’s truly compelling modern advocates, a restlessly creative force with a singular capacity to reveal jazz’s internal and external connections. Whether with his trio the Bandwagon or in any number of other ensembles he regularly performs with, he is among the most exciting musicians in the world today. For all Moran’s skill and showmanship, BUTLER, BERNSTEIN and THE HOT 9 — a dazzling collision between the great New Orleans pianist, singer, and recent Brooklyn transplant Henry Butler, “a visionistical down-home cat and a hellified piano plunker to boot,” (Dr. John) and the retro-futurist trumpeter Steven Bernstein — will be a tough act to follow. The group, comprised of some of the finest players in town or anywhere, delves deeply into Butler’s native soil to conjure a sound that both revels in classic Crescent City grooves and takes them places others have never dreamed of going. Gates open at 6:30PM.
