of the selected 2015 Cunningham Fellows, shares the latest in her Exteriority series. Ecsteriority4 (Part 2) will premiere
at Abrons Art Center in May 2015 and The Yard in June 2015 and in a full evening at The Chocolate Factory Theater in
September 2016. This new trio (Marc Mann, Dylan Crossman, and Melissa Toogood) is a construction of power and
desire, where irrational impulses create a feeling of urgency and the inevitability of violation.

RoseAnne Spradlin
g-h-o-s-t c-r-o-w-n (working title)
4–4:45 PM at New York Live Arts Studios
RoseAnne Spradlin’s “extravagantly enigmatic” (New York Times) g-h-o-s-t c-r-o-w-n (working title) (excerpt, 2014) is
a highly physical work that “push(es) her dancers and her audience into some higher state” (New York Times). Led by
dancers Natalie Green and Rebecca Warner with devynn emory, Athena Malloy and Saúl Ulerio, the work features design
elements by Glen Fogel, who previously collaborated with Spradlin on survive cycle (2006). Evolved from within the
creative process, Jeffrey Young’s original musical score for instruments and electronics was initially developed through
improvisation during rehearsals with the dancers, and includes samples of the dancers’ voices.

Laurie Berg
The Afterlife
4–4:40 PM
Described by the New York Times as a “ramshackle affair...[with] its own just-making-it-up charm,” Laurie Berg’s The
Afterlife utilizes theater, joy, and honed absurdity to conjure and destroy the pop icons of performances past. A tribute to
the LES’s beloved, late Tom Murrin, Berg’s Fete Trompe L’oeil is more than meets the eye on its way beyond this realm.

David Neumann / Advanced Beginner Group
Understand Everything Better
4:45–5:25 PM
Understand Everything Better, a multidisciplinary dance-based performance by Bessie-Award winning choreographer/
performer David Neumann, explores our impulse to report on calamity; the shimmer of attention to realms unseen; the
concurrence of unrelated events and the body as evidence of a will having to let go. Neumann’s “deeply felt and deeply
moving” work (New York Times) manifests as a “solo with other performers”, marking Neumann’s return to performing in
his own work after an absence of several years.

OTRO TEATRO: The Pleasure Project
Tuesday January 13, 6 PM
Thursday January 15, 6:30 PM
Saturday January 17, 4:30 PM
OTRO TEATRO: The Pleasure Project is the culmination of a three-month long procession of public space interventions,
made throughout New York City and Biel/Bienne, Switzerland, that seek to viscerally activate the passive spectator.
The Pleasure Project is a performance as an intervention for a theater in ruins. Anti-spectacular yet super-natural, it
is less a performance and more of a practice of moving performance closer to ritual. A ritual of growing ourselves a
new and much needed ‘post-civilized’ body; a collective body with audience and performers; a collective utopian body,
a sensational body, a connected body, a decolonized body, an anarchic and animal body, that is full and filled with
pleasure, with love and with magic...
