“Like so many of us, I became aware of this story through the musical,” says Gingold Artistic Director&nbsp;David Staller. “Finding the original source material became a personal quest after Gwen Verdon confessed to me that both she and Bob Fosse had, when kids, seen the 1942 film, Roxie Hart, and each individually resolved to make it into a musical! This 1926 play is actually far more overtly political, sardonic, and sexual than the musical adaptation! Don’t miss it!”
Chicago (1926) is a satirical comedy inspired by real-life murder cases covered by journalist Maurine Dallas Watkins. The play follows two women accused of murder as they navigate both the legal system and the court of public opinion. A searing critique of media sensationalism, celebrity culture, and justice, the work remains strikingly relevant today.
Best known as the basis for the long-running Broadway musical Chicago, the story has inspired multiple adaptations, including the 1927 silent film, the 1942 film Roxie Hart, and the Academy Award®-winning 2002 film Chicago.

ABOUT GINGOLD THEATRICAL GROUP
Gingold Theatrical Group, now in its 21st&nbsp;year, creates theater that supports human rights, freedom of speech, and individual liberty using the work of George Bernard Shaw as our guide. Through full productions, staged readings, new play development, and educational programs, GTG brings Shaw’s humanist ideals to inspire peaceful discussion and activism. GTG’s past productions include&nbsp;Man and Superman&nbsp;(2012),&nbsp;You Never Can Tell(2013),&nbsp;Major Barbara&nbsp;(2014),&nbsp;Widowers’ Houses&nbsp;(2016),&nbsp;Heartbreak House&nbsp;(2018),&nbsp;Caesar &amp; Cleopatra&nbsp;(2019),&nbsp;Candida&nbsp;(2022),&nbsp;Arms and the Man&nbsp;(2023),&nbsp;The Devil’s Disciple&nbsp;(2024), and Pygmalion (2025)
Founded in 2006 by David Staller, GTG has carved a permanent niche for the work of George Bernard Shaw within the social and cultural life of New York City, and, through the Project Shaw reading series, made history in 2009 as the first company ever to present performances of every one of Shaw's 65 plays (including full-length works, one-acts and sketches). GTG brings together performers, critics, students, academics and the general public with the opportunity to explore and perform theatrical work inspired by the humanitarian and activist values that Shaw championed. All comedies, these plays boldly exhibit the insight, wit, passion and all-encompassing socio-political focus that distinguished Shaw as one of the most inventive and incisive writers of all time.
Major support for GTG is provided by The Buchwald Family Foundation, City of New York Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council, The Helen M. DeMario Foundation, Golden Globe Foundation, Herman Goldman Foundation, Government of Ireland Emigrant Support Programme, Marta Heflin Foundation, Michael Tuch Foundation, New York State Council on the Arts with the support of the Office of the Governor &amp; New York State Legislature, Shubert Foundation, Pamela Singleton, and The National Endowment for the Arts.

About Bowne &amp; Co.
Established by Robert Bowne in 1775, Bowne &amp; Co. holds the distinction of being New York’s oldest operating business under the same name. After growing as a financial printer throughout the 19th and 20th centuries, Bowne &amp; Co. Inc. partnered with the Seaport Museum in 1975 to open a 19th century-style print shop at 211 Water Street in the South Street Seaport Historic District. Today, it is comprised of the Bowne &amp; Co. Printing Office––a workspace that continues the age-old tradition of job (or small batch) printing using historic presses from South Street Seaport Museum’s working collection––and Bowne &amp; Co. Stationers, a 19th century-style emporium selling gifts and fine goods.&nbsp;<a href="https://llpzyycab.cc.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001n2o1HJNX7rbA8OQouksSBlXDsGleIju40gXjq5Ccd6el99XL8prWzNSYZ3YDp5GptEHzUKYuC0c578MyIQdHINfm3jWK178NLkG1lzDA2z9NPAZpnivOx4FffPp1kYTN6KDLyauw5yHW79zK2mAWawLolDOsKAe3ohYmn01NRHxUY_DqNTDu69BUN1haoVcTa6RcMutE7go=&amp;c=wgjXC5vXLgMbCzVY1u8GDo2iquCcX--dDcSjcgYU25jH91Q4JJZDSw==&amp;ch=TUBPXPb6-vduRrO_SmhOY8AQrIBiiDUACcuh1U3FtzefwIGn4Qh_yg==" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">seaportmuseum.org/bowne-co-stationers</a>

Told through movement, color, and sound,&nbsp;EUPHORIA is a playful dance featuring two half-human, half-owl creatures who explore their environment using movement and sound. Through a poetic metamorphosis, the creatures develop a new understanding of themselves and each other. Created for families with kids as young as five years old, choreographer&nbsp;Caroline Breton&nbsp;invites us to find wonder and joy in the world around us.
About Caroline Breton
Caroline Breton is a choreographer and performer. After studying philosophy, she joined the ERACM national school in Marseille, where she launched an artists’ collective and performed on national stages and at CDN theaters. After ten years working in theater with leading figures such as Robert Wilson, Yves-Noël Genod, Falk Richter and Christiane Jatahy, she pursued her career as a dancer, performing in shows by Marco Berrettini at the Rencontres Chorégraphiques de Seine-Saint-Denis, Théâtre National de la Danse de Chaillot Paris, Théâtre National de Rome and on tour in shows by Christophe Haleb, Simon Tanguy, Johanna Rocard, and Simone Forti. Three of these pieces were revived at the Watermill Center in New York in 2023.

Her conception of stage design reflects a sensual, sensitive, and humorous relationship with people and things. She surrounds herself with creators—visual artists, lighting designers, composers—who bring to life this naive, technical, and poetic approach to our shared ecosystems.

ABOUT THE BROADWAY MAGIC HOUR
Jim Vines&nbsp;and&nbsp;Carl Mercurio&nbsp;have each been performing magic all their lives, and they met 10 years ago when they were both booked to perform in the same magic-variety show in Coney Island. Jim and Carl became friends and started performing together in venues throughout the tristate area, eventually collaborating on a family magic show, which debuted in 2022 at the North Fork Community Theatre in Long Island.
Fast forward to May 2024, when Jim was on a phone call with Richard Brooks, the head talent booker for the Broadway Comedy Club and Greenwich Village Comedy Club. Rich mentioned that while there were a variety of great magic shows in New York City, he had noticed something was missing—a big family-friendly event that could be enjoyed by kids, parents, friends, and anyone looking for a feel-good outing. Rich suggested that a family magic show in Midtown that brings families together for an unforgettable experience filled with joy, laughter, and wonder, could be a hit. Jim told Rich about the family magic show that he and Carl were already performing and mentioned that they had been looking for the perfect venue in which to regularly present the show. Rich was enthusiastic. It was meant to be! In a moment of inspiration, Jim and Carl came up with the name The Broadway Magic Hour. Now it was time to put it on the historic Broadway Comedy Club stage. The NYC debut of the Broadway Magic Hour took place on Saturday, August 3, 2024 - and to everyone's delight, the show quickly sold out. They followed up by adding more dates, and every show had a full house, proving that the city truly needed this show. A few months later, Time Out NY rated The Broadway Magic Hour as one of the Best Off-Broadway Shows for Kids &amp; Families, as well as one of the Best Magic Shows in NYC.
ABOUT THE ARTISTS
Carl Mercurio&nbsp;is a regular performer at cabarets and magic venues, including Comix at Mohegan Sun in Connecticut, Smoke &amp; Mirrors Magic Theater, the Slipper Room in New York City, and the Chicago Magic Lounge. “There’s truly something for everyone in the show: magic, comedy, mind-reading, and even grand illusions.” – Mary Motto Kalich, President, North Fork Community Theatre.
Jim Vines&nbsp;recently performed his award-winning act on the hit TV show&nbsp;<a href="https://llpzyycab.cc.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001_HOEAX0_rZTexmxQruImB4VH0zSASBKwoQmHYKbHY_7rLrchK-cejhSg9cbBzWFRMmFrMg0cofkx2G5EBUWzkFsf51O6WKzqr4n5YoQKeDh14ryJ-QIJ_lHCj2WBdvo8Sw7Lo13rXSHOoEw-ADalFcI0HWGG-gWIHS3NkCzIH67n4Ba2QyEoNw==&amp;c=3FATHxGvj-lMjUeYgvcl190Sg3BmYYpTsXbtEqay1d6rEY2G5PBP-w==&amp;ch=Z-bbu7Jkt5AfeqsoyXMAWNmZkZE2hdCyvajGzYcHjzYLNXFTUqe5xQ==" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">"Penn &amp; Teller: FOOL US" (CW Network)</a>. Jim has also shared his magic at the Brooklyn Cyclones Stadium in Coney Island, in the Off-Broadway Magic Show "A Taste of Magic," the Parlor of Mystery in New York, "Magic In A Bottle" at City Winery NYC, the Smoke and Mirrors Magic Theater in Philadelphia, the Comix Comedy Club at Mohegan Sun in Connecticut, The Wonderground in Las Vegas, the Magic Castle in Hollywood – and in 11 other countries around the world. In 2017 Jim won First Place and People’s Choice in Close-Up Magic at the F.I.S.M. North American Championship of Magic.

Ten Toasts Dinner: Laughter, Realness, and Connection
A structured dinner experience with thematic storytelling, the dinner unfolds with a specific theme, drawn from conversations and site visits with community members. The toasts celebrate moments, small and large, or people in the teller's life. By listening to, and sharing, meaningful stories from each other’s lives, participants wind up celebrating one another. They see each other’s humanity, what matters to each person, and feel valued as their stories are heard and toasted. The stories shared are ones that no one at the table has heard before, participants understand more of each other’s formative aspects, beyond usual roles/contexts, and those who already know one another — sometimes for years — often discover stories about each other they didn’t previously know.

Rikud Movement Studio

Rikud Studio&nbsp;announced today their 2026 summer camp offerings, running nine weeks from June 15 through August 14. The studio is located in Prospect Heights, at 607 Vanderbilt Avenue, reimagining dance education through street and club dance and challenging the long-standing assumption that ballet must be the starting point of children's dance education. Rikud Studio focuses exclusively on street and club dance forms including breaking, hip-hop, and house. Located roughly a ten-minute walk from Barclays Center, the studio has enrolled more than 165 students in its first two months and now offers 30 weekly classes serving children, teens, and adults. Rikud operates on an intentionally alternative model with no mirrors, no ballet, and no recitals.

The Rikud Studio&nbsp;Summer Camp&nbsp;is rooted in street and club dance culture. Each week, campers rotate through breaking, hip hop, and house, alongside visual arts experiences inspired by graffiti and movement.
Campers are grouped by age for developmentally aligned programming:

Ages 5–7: Play-Based Immersion
Our younger dancers build foundations through rhythm stations, mini cyphers, movement games, and obstacle courses. Dance labs introduce breaking, hip hop, and house through playful technique and guided exploration. Creative blocks include graffiti art, name design, and street-art inspired projects. Outdoor time features playground visits, sprinklers, and neighborhood mini-walks. Afternoons include choice-based exploration in dance, art, or building activities, ending each day in a closing circle.
Ages 8–14: Cultural Lab + Skill Development
Older campers deepen technique through focused training blocks in breaking, house, and hip hop. They rotate through choreography lab, freestyle development, groove drills, and conditioning. Cultural sessions explore the roots of street and club dance, while art + design labs investigate letter structure, tag evolution, and creative expression. Neighborhood immersions and guest workshops expand their understanding of movement within the community. The day culminates in crew rehearsal, mentorship, and battle strategy.

Rikud does not position itself as an authority on hip-hop culture, but rather as a hub and convener. The studio’s location places it in proximity to many of hip-hop’s most historically rich neighborhoods. Clinton Hill was the childhood neighborhood of The Notorious B.I.G., while nearby Bedford-Stuyvesant’s is the childhood home of Jay-Z. Public spaces such as Prospect Park and Fort Greene Park have long served as gathering places for dancers.
Rikud’s summer camp is a collaboration with HereNow Cultural Space in Bed-Stuyvesant. They will connect campers directly to the area’s cultural history through neighborhood tours, graffiti arts, hip-hop, breaking, and DJ instruction. Rikud serves longtime Brooklyn residents, young families, and newcomers. The studio also hosts breaking battles and community dance events throughout the year, including an upcoming kids breaking battle in partnership with the New York Collective and a family dance party with local-legends Saint James Joy.

She holds an MBA from the University of Oxford and is a 500-hour Registered Yoga Teacher (500RYT). Caila is a Brooklyn mom who loves her community—and she loves to teach.

Rikud Studio announced today their 2026 summer camp offerings, running nine weeks from June 15 through August 14. The studio is...

St. Paul's German Evangelical Lutheran Church

Mezzo-soprano&nbsp;Clara Osowski&nbsp;and pianist&nbsp;Melinda Lee Masur&nbsp;open the&nbsp;2026 Chelsea Music Festival&nbsp;with an evening that weaves together the American immigrant experience, the poetry of Langston Hughes and Paul Laurence Dunbar, and the theme of dreaming across cultures and generations. The performance is set for June 20, 2026 at 7PM at St. Paul's German Church, 315 West 22nd Street, New York, NY, 10011. Tickets start at $92.55 and can be purchased&nbsp;<a href="https://llpzyycab.cc.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001_SeNskPHaAPAjgN0GcqSraKr_rGqwn5xwftWB_5jBef-cmgNDJQij7XOrgqO36h6FrJqc86kKp7dle3jOfvmHmoT_yudZ11bKNZAWzk54bP9Jr7pMCc-08YTy0qe3metSmvCfJLCeHCNKnBaQK-9zV_a9vPS8XC_jTvNINC5Jqcrp3x0r6B4sKt0ubjtNzzc&amp;c=sRnMSD497OjhaXCw50GtRcuLWaLgeqGqxwQSrDBliaeGTXJFV6Y0WA==&amp;ch=HjXc23s67WgfHnHREikYw1LW7ZeVhSym65_m1F7BAMom9ONB-iaG2A==" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">here</a>.

The program pairs&nbsp;Aaron Copland&nbsp;and&nbsp;Erich Wolfgang Korngold&nbsp;— two composers living and working almost congruently, one American-born, one an immigrant from Vienna — alongside New York Premieres by Reinaldo Moya, Frederick Piket, Mark Carlson, and Steven Ward, and Libby Larsen's&nbsp;This Unbearable Stillness, a song cycle celebrating the everyday lives of Arab American women in its NYC Premiere. Damien Sneed's luminous spiritual arrangements provide the thread connecting the evening's two halves, from Paul Laurence Dunbar's poetry to Langston Hughes's timeless&nbsp;I Dream a World, scored for string quartet and piano — an opening night that asks what it means to dream in America, and who gets to dream.

ABOUT THE CHELSEA MUSIC FESTIVAL
Chelsea Music Festival celebrates great music by convening world-leading musicians &amp; artists in the performing, culinary, and visual arts for an international audience. The Festival invites artists, composers, and performers to collaborate in pursuit of new perspectives in artistic expression. Inspired by its Chelsea roots, the Festival reflects the creativity of one of New York City's most dynamic neighborhoods. Programs span musical genres ranging from classical to contemporary to jazz with a special emphasis on Festival commissions by composers whose works are not in the traditional western canon. In addition, the Festival hosts an online library of recordings so music enthusiasts, artists, and students alike can explore unique interpretations of classical, jazz, and contemporary works via high-quality videos of world-class performances.
Since 2010, the Festival has established itself as a critically-acclaimed, accessible and interactive gateway to chamber music in non-traditional concert spaces such as art galleries, public squares, schools, and churches. Programming includes concerts, lectures, exhibitions, family events, and free outreach performances. In 2020, the Festival inaugurated its&nbsp;Online Encores&nbsp;and&nbsp;Online Originals&nbsp;YouTube series;&nbsp;Online Encores&nbsp;presents highlights from Festival archives while&nbsp;Online Originals&nbsp;presents new performances and recordings. We are proud to give emerging voices, particularly those of women and people of color, a stage and work to build an audience and intimate community to support a new generation of musicians, composers, and artists.

New York City Center

For decades,&nbsp;Daniel Gwirtzman Dance Company&nbsp;has pulled back the curtain on how dance is made. This June, they open the studio doors wider than ever — inviting participants in for an intimate conversation about the creative process behind their newest work. The Company will be&nbsp;In The Studio at&nbsp;New York City Center&nbsp;(131 W. 55th Street, New York, NY 10019) on June 25 at 1pm and June 26 at 3pm. To reserve free tickets, advance tickets are required, please visit&nbsp;<a href="https://llpzyycab.cc.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001xRAw9itxFaSkT3zxNrkASXieMMjTcmPm2Sxa89y8klboLG7l8u3zVG3-Hi6Tr8piGNDKRUY2_xsdfPu2aEnE9g7podwOgjKhJ8UfejwjZrG-TLZREC5TpBAbgx6aZzCodiLAauebpvc0_yApsA5IPt9fVsfdeuSxY5y3jIMYhusH0rRZm70utneYw7__8EjjL10hP3UfwkmlEph_ERiYUk3ENLNeNys3mh4LCnR0n66tDRxMoTccAPBLI05sTVqPo4XCaHBgzOXmqLHJuHKOhA==&amp;c=fU8fv0NrA0ZB1FKeoeEYAd7JaRLEfhMzmg2wFx1LsoMP0i5ayLRZSQ==&amp;ch=SGjYRkk2eR35xkAM9bkdQi9izErx4DnBGVu9Qr1JgJIUpfLzWFJNKw==" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">here</a>.
Hear directly from the dancers about what drives and challenges them and from choreographer Daniel Gwirtzman about the ideas shaping the work. Then it's your turn: ask questions, share your thoughts, and become part of the conversation. No stage. No distance. Just dance, up close. A rare chance to meet the art before it meets the stage. Free and open to all. Seats are limited.

Says the choreographer, who has been publicly out as a queer artist since he began showing his work professionally in New York circa 1995:
"Scheduled to align with New York City's PRIDE,&nbsp;In The Studio&nbsp;features the same-sex partnering for which DGDC has been known since our inception. Non-heteronormative coupling has been a trademark of the Company's repertory. Highlighted rep that features gender parity and disrupts the leading lady in the arms of the leading man includes&nbsp;Dreamland, danced by Derek Crescenti and Johnny Mathews, as well as sections of the new&nbsp;Flashpoint, danced by Vanessa Martínez de Baños and Madison Hertel.&nbsp;In The Studio&nbsp;will have a festive, vibrant, party atmosphere, a fun way to celebrate the spirit of PRIDE and usher in the weekend."
ABOUT DANIEL GWIRTZMAN DANCE COMPANY
Daniel Gwirtzman Dance Company, known for its optimistic ethos, was formed in 1998. Since its inception, it has demonstrated a commitment to education, operating with the philosophy and programming that everyone can join the dance. Incorporating dance and story into the film medium has been a consistent practice along with creating original programming for the stage. The repertory has earned praise for its humor, musicality, stylistic diversity, and accessibility. The Company’s acclaimed creation, “Dance With Us,” a free online educational resource, received leadership support from the Rockefeller Brothers Fund and is designed to demystify choreography and increase comfort viewing and speaking about dance. The digital resource showcases the Company’s decade-long practice working in the dance for camera genre. Lincoln Center and The New York Public Library for the Performing Arts presented the Company in 2023 during its 25th Anniversary season in a stand-alone program called&nbsp;Everybody Can Dance. In the summer of 2024, DGDC was in residence at the American Dance Festival where it developed its newest evening-length dance,&nbsp;Flashpoint. In 2025, the Company’s AI-themed theater/dance work&nbsp;e-Motion, a collaboration with playwright Saviana Stanescu, made its NYC premiere at La MaMa during the La MaMa Moves! Festival, which&nbsp;Culturebot&nbsp;reviewed as “profoundly chilling,” noting Daniel’s performance as “masterful.” Also in 2025,&nbsp;Framing Ménerbes,&nbsp;a film created by the Company in Provence, premiered in France, followed by its US premiere at the Dolby Screening Room in Manhattan. Since then, the film has screened in theaters in Upstate New York—Binghamton, Ithaca, and Rochester—and in Ann Arbor, MI and Vancouver, WA. The film will screen again in Ithaca this June 17. Other highlights include performances at Jacob’s Pillow Dance Festival, The Kennedy Center, Battery Dance Festival, Fire Island Dance Festival, Bryant Park, Edinburgh Fringe Festival, and Jazz at Lincoln Center. The Company will tour its SUMMER MIX program, with six performances July 16-19, 2026:&nbsp;<a href="https://llpzyycab.cc.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001xRAw9itxFaSkT3zxNrkASXieMMjTcmPm2Sxa89y8klboLG7l8u3zVG3-Hi6Tr8pi-qisgOUQhNkN4MYBnuwNJIGQOdgo8pSYD2Tz1sD0Cx2pekGSF3jp2PuliL-xYbAITfb-GjZ9WIwV-5oUCS0XTM0IoLVu-tQ_VjUJQj4mZxs=&amp;c=fU8fv0NrA0ZB1FKeoeEYAd7JaRLEfhMzmg2wFx1LsoMP0i5ayLRZSQ==&amp;ch=SGjYRkk2eR35xkAM9bkdQi9izErx4DnBGVu9Qr1JgJIUpfLzWFJNKw==" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">https://kitchentheatre.org/summermix</a>

Daniel Gwirtzman Dance Company&nbsp;announces&nbsp;Summer Mix from July 16–19, 2026 at&nbsp;Kitchen Theatre Company, 417 West State, MLK, Jr. St., Ithaca, NY 14850. Performances: July 16 at 2pm and 7pm, July 17 at 7pm, July 18 at 2pm and 7pm, and July 19 at 2pm. Tickets are $35 ($20 for students) and can be purchased&nbsp;<a href="https://llpzyycab.cc.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001ICpt7VyUXRvGwvcEeJEP08xCUr-JQ_RZkywmK5USx7wQL-il0yOqI0-j0WH0nE1S8REaOBfg536Za_F2kvebSRDgKn79LAL5C8h3WmNYacwny1UQbJbKH8tL8FgvIgK_3-a9_vaMMlCN4oRXCd1oIk4AUjt14sUz05Uc_BUwXmY=&amp;c=36iAEDwVLsPns7g40ozWiT2Af6oyaSu7Q8zLEcH_gA00dT2-F7VTjw==&amp;ch=BwQ2qkAalW-dqnjkVPm_ESUo-3l9hjJc6t7u_neOXlFMBbu8ggwmgg==" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">here</a>.
Summer Mix, an accessible, entertaining program of dance, combines the old with the new, a visual playlist bringing together favorites from the repertory with a premiere. The mix includes joyful excerpts from the Company’s acclaimed evening-length theatrical dance&nbsp;Encore, which premiered at New York City’s Joyce SoHo in 2007 and has never fallen out of the repertory. Each performance will be followed by a brief conversation with the Company, offering audiences the opportunity to engage directly with the dancers and choreographer.
“The dancers can’t help but smile,” wrote&nbsp;The New Yorker&nbsp;reviewing the show. "It's great to see imaginative dancing to music like this," wrote&nbsp;The Village Voice. Backstage&nbsp;called the work "a riotous piece of razzle-dazzle entertainment."
The new work,&nbsp;Flashpoint, was developed during an invitation-only residency at the American Dance Festival in Durham, NC during the summer or 2024.&nbsp;Flashpoint&nbsp;explores the contours of relationships, the push and pull of harmony and strife within our lives, and the lines separating intimacy from violence. The dance traces the contours of relationships, exposing moments that pivot on a dime and ignite into conflict, a metaphor for the tensions and drama playing out in our world.
Like a sultry summer storm, the program moves through darkness and sun, turbulence and clear skies, all anchored by the Company's signature blend of provocative choreography and charismatic performance: virtuosic and pedestrian movement, intimate partnering, a playful musical spirit, and vivid expression.&nbsp;Summer Mix&nbsp;has something for everyone, the program that summer calls for!

Vangeline Theater/New York Butoh Institute has partnered with ELF and the legendary New York artist Machine Dazzle to create MAN WOMAN, a collaboration between Butoh dancers Akihito Ichihara (Sankai Juku) and Vangeline.

Ichihara and Vangeline have developed MAN WOMAN during New York residencies at the New York Butoh Institute, Chelsea Factory, Monira Foundation, and Mercury Store in 2024.

Machine Dazzle has created original costumes for this 60-minute piece and Ray Barragan Sweeten has composed the music.

MAN WOMAN is a 60-minute interdisciplinary Butoh duet about the search for intimacy and the complexities of human connection. Choreographed and performed by acclaimed Butoh artists Akihito Ichihara (Japan) and Vangeline (U.S.), the work draws inspiration from the seminal 1960 photo book Man and Woman by Japanese photographer Eikoh Hosoe, which featured Tatsumi Hijikata—the founder of Butoh—and his wife, Motofuji.
 
Ichihara and Vangeline each come from different Butoh backgrounds; Ichihara from Sankai Juku, or what could be considered “classical” Butoh, while Vangeline’s 20 years of Butoh expertise was informed by her prior experience as a jazz and burlesque dancer. The artists imagine this encounter as cultural cross-pollination: the creation of something new and original choreographically, challenging aesthetic expectations and carrying Butoh into the 21st century. 


VANGELINE THEATER/ NEW YORK BUTOH INSTITUTE aims to preserve the legacy and integrity of Japanese Butoh while carrying the art form into the future, with a special emphasis on education, social justice, research, and archiving.
