WHITE WAVE’s Opening Night Benefit (Wednesday, January 27th at 7pm) launches the Cool New York 2010 DANCE Festival with a dazzling evening of performance and celebration followed by a wine and cheese reception with live music entertainment by the ever-popular Bossa Nova Beatniks!
The Opening Night performance features seven rising and eminent companies that will grace the stage of the John Ryan Theatre: Formerly with Paul Taylor Dance Company, Takehiro Ueyama’s TAKE Dance presents the duet “Whispering Within;” Elena Demyanenko, a current member of the Trisha Brown Dance Company, works with Spanish visual artist Itziar Barrio to combine video, animation, and movement in “Knowville;” the Israeli based company DaNaKa Dance by Dana Katz; a new emerging artist graduated from Tisch School of the Arts: Carrie J. Brown; the all female company Gehring Dancetheatre; choreographer Rebecca Alaly of Becca Alaly + Dancers (winner of the Suzanne Farrell Prize for outstanding artistry in the field of dance) will perform her haunting trio “Inside the Gingerbread House;” and lastly, WHITE WAVE Young Soon Kim Dance Company will present an excerpt from “SSOOTT III” a visually stunning and emotionally rich work with an original score composed by Marco Cappelli.
Tickets to the benefit cost $30, and all net profits will be doubled thanks to a matching grant from the Mertz Gilmore Foundation that will fund much needed renovations at our John Ryan Theater.
WHITE WAVE must raise $30,000 to enable these improvements to occur. So even if you can’t make it to the Opening Night Benefit you can still contribute to this worthy cause. No matter how much you can donate, whether it is five dollars or five thousand dollars, please go to NYCharities.org’s webpage and make your 100 percent tax deductible contribution to WHITE WAVE today! celebration!!! Your participation will make a huge impact on our ability to present and promote rising dancemakers.
