January Intensive in New York City
**Please let students know about this! Email Miriam Felton-Dansky or Bob Bangiola for a registration form, or pick one up at the Fisher PAC front desk.**Every January, New York City hosts three major festivals of interdisciplinary and international theater, dance, and performance: Under the Radar (New York Public Theater); American Realness (Abrons Arts Center); and COIL (PS 122). Together these festivals unite some of the world’s leading performing artists, who for three weeks transform New York into an internationally renowned showcase of contemporary theater and performance.
Professor Miriam Felton-Dansky will lead a group of Bard students in an intensive investigation of contemporary performance in New York City in January 2017, using these festivals as living case studies. This year's festivals include a diverse range of international and interdisciplinary work from artists such as Philippe Quesne (France), Will Rawls (US), and Rimini Protokoll (Germany).
Over five packed days we will see many performances and meet with curators and artists whose work is being presented in the festivals, studying its context and background to maximize our appreciation. This is an unmatched opportunity to experience and analyze a wide range of contemporary theater and performance in one of the world’s great cultural centers.
Cost: $275; this will cover tickets to at least seven performances, plus artist and curator talks, administrative fees, and two group meals in New York City. (Please note that housing is not included.)
