About the Work:
MAHAWAY: SPRING ETERNAL is a two-act ballet that tells the story of a Mother Skunk named Akhushtal, her baby girl Mahaway, and a protective jaguar named Ix Chel. MAHAWAY: SPRING ETERNAL is a commemorative dance & musical celebration of the 100th anniversary of the Paris premiere of Igor Stravinsky’s and Vaslav Nijinsky’s “The Rite of Spring”. Cook-Beatty’s ballet premiered at The Schermerhorn Theater in Brooklyn, NY, on the century anniversary date May 29, 2013, in collaboration with composer Dorian Wallace, the co-artistic director of Tenth Intervention. In this virtual performance, 2019, Tenth Intervention performs live with 25 dancers from Alison Cook Beatty Dance and Infinity Dance Theater, a non-traditional dance company committed to expanding the boundaries of dance by featuring dancers with and without disabilities, under the direction of Artistic Director Kitty Lunn.
Anabella Lenzu’s “The night that you stopped acting/ La noche que dejaste de actuar” confronts the absurdity and irony of life, while being an artist and a spectator in today’s world. The work reflects Anabella Lenzu’s my experience as a Latina/European artist living in New York and comes from a deep examination of my motivations as a woman, mother, and immigrant.

Artistic Director Alison Cook-Beatty choreographed the quintet to the music of Bartok’s astonishing Sonata No. 2 in the natural beauty of Central Park’s Ramble. Music Supervisor Shem Guibbory and Dramaturg Anne Catherine de Mare closely worked with Alison and the dancers.
Exploring themes of loss, balance, and the restorative healing of the natural world, the piece is a powerful testament to the power of both grief and love.
Dancers Fiona Oba, Vera Paganin, Richard Sayama, Ricardo Barrett, and Charles Scheland star in this new work. Fellow company member Miranda Stuck and guest artists Isa Braun, Mary Puart, Laura Espitia, Holly Hwang, Ioanna Ioannides, Miranda Runyon, Daisy Morales, and Olivia Passarelli also dance throughout the enchanted forest.

We would like to thank costume designer Ali Tagavi, videographer and film editor Ellen Maynard, camera assistant/second camera person Jerry Aquino.

Dance Like No One is Watching — May 25th, 2021 Virtual Performance
2021-05-25 19:00 - 20:00 | Virtual Venue – Link will be sent to ticketholders
We will be back in a theater soon! Please help us get there while also attending a virtual performance premiere!
A virtual performance in dedication to dancers and backstage workers impacted by COVID-19.
We are excited to share a very special project with you on May 25th at 7 p.m. ET via YouTube titled, “Dance Like No One Is Watching.” This dance film is dedicated to all of the dancers and backstage workers who have been affected by COVID-19.
Click Here for Tickets

Choreographed on Zoom and filmed at the historic Strand Theatre in Boston, this project sought to capture the magic of the theater, dance, and the team of talented individuals — on-stage and off-stage — that brings the work to fruition.
With inspiration from a prompt, I presented to our community, “What does the theater mean to you? I brought those inspiring sentiments into the virtual rehearsal process with dancer Nika Antuanette and worked with dancer Miranda Stuck and lighting designer Tony Marques to incorporate the public’s messages into the dance film, filmed by Ellen Maynard.
Below is a sketch I made of backstage workers finishing the final lighting adjustments and sweeping the floor in preparation for The Strand Theater performance.

Therein lies the story that unfolded and we share with you on May 25th at 7 p.m. A sold-out theater, a solo rehearsed for months and ready for the premiere, a team at work, and an audience awaiting an evening of dance… when sometimes life takes unexpected turns. With art imitating life, sometimes a dance is much more than a dance, but a reflection of who we are and how we work together.

We will be back in a theater soon! Please help us get there by purchasing a ticket to this premiere and/or making a tax-deductible donation of any kind to this premiere.

Join us on YouTube on May 25th as we celebrate the theater and those that bring dance to life, and support all of the artists and theater workers that Alison Cook Beatty Dance works with each day. From our beautiful dancers to the ones you don’t see— the lighting designers, the costume designers, the musicians, composers, film editors, photographers, videographers, crew, and the entire production team. It takes a village to create magic. We have many superstars onstage and off.
We need your support more than ever! Alison Cook Beatty Dance has been working through COVID-19 in ways never imagined all year to bring art to the community. Please help us get back into the studio and theater. We need to raise $10,000 to continue work in 2021. Please support Alison Cook Beatty Dance today.
We want to thank Matthew Breton of The Strand Theater, the Mayor’s Office of Arts and Cultural Affairs, and the City of Boston. We also thank Jessica Gordon Academy of Performing Arts in Revere, MA, and the Brookline Ballet School in MA for helping us with rehearsal space.
