For Butoh Dancers and Enthusiasts in the New York City area,

Please consider joining us this Saturday night at 8pm for an evening of spontaneous experimentation:

A couple of months ago Max Lord (a boston-based musician) and I organized a group of experimental sound and butoh movement artists from New England and New York in a loft space in downtown Boston. We invited a small group of friends and family to gather with us to watch us perform spontaneously constructed works. The results were bizarre and highly entertaining!

We had such a good time, that we’ve decided to do it again—this time, in New York! We would love it if you would join us for an evening of performances that will be utterly raw, improvised conjunctions of movement and sound that are 15 minutes each, or less. The musicians form an orchestra that responds to each mover’s material and vice versa. We promise to deliver some surprises!

Participating Musicians include Max Lord, Howard Stelzer, and Matthew Everett. Movement Artists include Deborah Butler, Nathan Andary, Celeste Hastings, Bob DeNatale, and Ellen Godena. Here are the details:

What: ZeroPlan Performance Series
Where: Studio 111, 111 Conselyea Street, Williamsburg, Brooklyn
When: Saturday, July 28th at 8pm (doors open at 7:30)
How much: 8 bucks at the door

Directions: Take the L-Train to the Graham Street stop, walk down Manhattan Avenue one block, and make a left on Graham. Walk down Graham approximately1.5 blocks. Studio 111 will be on the right hand side of the street (it does not have a big, flashy, sign, but usually has a sandwich board posted on the sidewalk on performance nights).

I'd love to see you next Saturday night!
