Tour | Brooklyn Graffiti and Street Art Tour

Bushwick, in a working class district on the north side of Brooklyn adjacent to Williamsburg, has been attracting artists for some time now. The neighborhood has a fair collection of art studios and galleries, but it’s Bushwick’s industrial landscape that’s attracting the street artist. If you came looking for 1960′s Greenwich Village, you’ll find something brewing in Bushwick. This tour takes place Thursdays through Sundays at 2pm.

Screening | Choreographer Hijikata's original 1976 production of Costume en Face


A legendary figure in the history of art and contemporary dance, Tatsumi Hijikata (1928-1986) was the founding father of the radical dance form that he called Butoh. Some of his Butoh-fu notations remain largely in the form of notebooks transcribed by his disciples which were recently published by Ugly Duckling Presse, Costume en Face: A Primer of Darkness for Young Boys and Girls. One of the pieces in Big Dance Theater's new production Big Dance: Short Form is based on Costume en Face. The screening is followed by a discussion of the impact of Hijikata's work on artists and choreographers today with Big Dance Theater's Annie-B Parson and Paul Lazar, artist Aki Sasamoto, Butoh scholar Bruce Baird, and Ugly Duckling Presse editor Yelena Gluzman.
