John Jasperse– quite possibly the most important American contemporary dance
choreographer of his generation…”
– Rosalyn Sulcas, The New York Times

John Jasperse Projects will premiere Tides, a new, evening-length work that is built around a collection of real-life, intergenerational mentor/protégé relationships that exist within the team of collaborators. This celebration of the arc of life in dance and the generosity of the act of transmission is at the heart of the work.

The work features a cast of collaborating performers ranging from veteran luminaries in the downtown scene: Vicky Shick, Jodi Melnick, and Cynthia Koppe, to younger, emerging dance artists – Jace Weyant and Maria Fleischman. The commissioned score is created by Jasperse’s longtime collaborator Hahn Rowe, with lighting by Ben Demarest, and visual and costume design by Jasperse.

John Jasperse Projects is supported by grants from the Cultural Development Fund of the NYC Department of Cultural Affairs, the New York State Council On the Arts, the James E. Robison Foundation, and individual contributions. Commissioning of Tides was supported by funds from The O’Donnell-Greene Music and Dance Foundation.

NOTE: While there is a matinee on April 12 at 2 p.m., there is no evening performance on Saturday, April 12 in observance of the first night of Passover.
