Artistic Director, Alison Cook-Beatty is thrilled to be presenting the WORLD PREMIERE (WHALE), THE EMOTIONS PROJECT, HUMANITAS, THE UNINVITED GUEST and two NEW WORKS with guest artists Winston Dynamite Bown and Ms. Kitty Lunn along with Alison Cook Beatty Dance at The Salvatore Capezio Theater at Peridance!
HUMANITAS features nine dancers costumed by designer Christine Darch. Set to the music of Ancient Airs and Dances and is composed by Ottorino Respighi. HUMANITAS is inspired by famous works of art by Sandro Botticelli’s paintings, La Primavera and The Birth of Venus. Greek gods and goddesses, such as Venus, Zephyros, Chloris, Mercury, Flora, The Three Graces, and Cupid are brought to life from these two works of art.
THE EMOTIONS PROJECT was inspired by the question “What do you believe the most vulnerable emotion is?” After receiving an overwhelming amount of feedback from people on social media, such as, Fear, Anger, Grief, Love, Acceptance, Alison found images that made her think of these words and created a large map. She brought the inspire into rehearsal and the dancers, and she had a discussion and stood up and began creating this piece. The music is by Osvaldo Golijo.
THE UNINVITED GUEST is set to the music of Mark Nauseef and arranged by Peter Smith. One of Alison’s earliest works, a collaboration with fellow dancers while studying at The Boston Conservatory of Music at Berklee. Alison, with permission from all of her colleagues, has rearranged this work on Alison Cook Beatty Dance. The Uninvited Guest appears to be a dinner party that has gone wrong.
WORLD PREMIERE (WHALE) is set to the music of John Cage and Arvo Part. Inspired by the New Zealand film the Whale Rider by Niki Caro and paintings by Sang-Hyun Chung.
NEW WORK (Saturday Night) Guest Artist Winston Dynamite Brown and Alison Cook-Beatty co-choreograph this NEW WORK together and are reunited on the stage since dancing in Paul Taylor’s American Modern Dance, Taylor 2!
NEW WORK (Sunday Night) Guest Artist, and Artistic Director of Infinity Dance Theater, a non-traditional dance company featuring dancers with and without disabilities, Ms. Kitty Lunn, has commissioned Alison to reset her solo work TOUCHED BY FIRE as a duet. Ms. Lunn and Ms. Cook-Beatty will perform the duet together.

Partnering is a technique in and of itself. Learn the tools, intelligent and anatomical ways of approaching partnering work with YOUR body, and another’s in this 2-day workshop. The 2-hour class will begin with a Dynamic flowing warmup infusing “Core Synergy” exercises Alison has developed to increase core strength incorporated into a “Taylor based” center warmup. The importance of cross training for the dancer will be emphasized and tools shared. The class will progress with traveling passes across the floor and begin to work with guided contact improv. The practice of taking and giving weight, lifts and falls based on three principals: leaning against each other and leaning away from each other (equal balance of gravity), pushing & following (different weight), taking off the pressure to arrive in lifts or falls. We will develop a physical connection with a watchfulness to one as well as several partners. The last part of the class will be working on specific choreographed partnering movements from the repertoire of Alison Cook Beatty Dance. Phrase material will be taught and worked on in class to have the dancers work through transitions and musicality in and out of more complex partnering work. Please note that this workshop is an exploratory lab and safe place for all that enter. Trust and respect are an absolute requirement.

19th Annual DUMBO DANCE FESTIVAL
2019-10-12 20:00 - 2019-10-13 20:00 | Gelsey Kirkland ArtsCenter, 29 Jay Street, Brooklyn, NY, 11201, United States
The Company is honored to have been accepted into the 19th Annual DUMBO DANCE FESTIVAL (October 12th & 13th, 2019 at 8pm). Company Members Carolina Rivera and Niccolo Orsolani will be performing Alison Cook-Beatty’s duet “LIFELINE” at the Gelsey Kirkland ArtsCenter. We will be sure to keep you posted on the details!
LIFELINE is a duet portraying how human beings live life on a moving path. The work explores human relationships through the psychological emotions of the human mind. Parts of life encourage us to remain engaged in the moment. Perhaps it is a happy, carefree, secure and loving existence. Still, as we grow and change along the lifeline, another part of our existence might encourage us to search for new or different beginnings, urging us to move forward into an unknown future. Change is the one constant in life; nothing remains the same forever. Through movement, viewers will see the yearning between two beings, as well as their repeated separation and return to one another. Relationships diverge as people grow and develop. Numerous reasons dictate why relationships change and partners move on alone. Sadness and regret are portrayed in this work, as well as intense and vivid love.nce
