See CDI resident Alethea Pace in action at Lehman College's Lehman Center for the Performing Arts, developing a new work informed by The Hunts Point Slave Burial Ground Project. She's using her studio residency to zero in on the intersections of history, memory and geography.

Pace is a Bronx-based multidisciplinary choreographer and performer who's committed to work rooted in social justice. A recipient of the 2021 Dance Magazine Harkness Promise Award, she has a BA in Urban Design from New York University and an MFA in Digital and Interdisciplinary Arts from The City College of New York.

She previously had a 2019-20 CDI residency at Hostos Center for the Arts & Culture, where she developed "Here goes the neighborhood..." a profoundly personal piece about the erasure and transformation of her Bronx community. The film version will make its festival premiere in January 2023 at Screen Dance Miami.

Alethea is also looking forward to a Keshet Dance and Center for the Arts Makers Experience Residency in February (Albuquerque, NM) and a Loghaven Artist Residency in April-May 2023 (Knoxville, TN).

On Nov 13-14, see the long-awaited premiere of CDI alum Ephrat Asherie Dance's "UNDERSCORED." Commissioned by Works & Process at the Guggenheim.

Event Link: https://www.guggenheim.org/event/ephrat-asherie-dance-and-nyc-club-legends-underscored

"UNDERSCORED" is a multifaceted project that acts as a living archive of five generations of NYC club dancers. The performers, ranging in age from 27 to 79, share lived experiences, stories, and vibes from seminal underground parties, including David Mancuso’s the Loft, Larry Levan’s Paradise Garage, and Timmy Regisford’s Shelter.

Featuring costumes by David Dalrymple and building on the intergenerational transference of knowledge and culturally reflective movement that happens night after night on dance floors across the city.

For $10 off tickets, visit worksandprocess.org and use the discount code CUNY at checkout.

Ephrat Asherie Dance has been a CDI resident with Baruch Performing Arts Center, Lehman Center for the Performing Arts, and Gerald W. Lynch Theater.

Say hello to Alethea Pace, our new resident at Lehman College's Lehman Center for the Performing Arts.

This Bronx-based multidisciplinary choreographer and performer is a recipient of the 2021 Dance Magazine Harkness Promise Award.

Bronx Academy of Arts and Dance with support from the Bronx Council on the Arts.

Her work has also been presented by the Bronx Museum, Danspace Project, New York Live Arts, Performance Mix, Pregones Theater, Wassaic Project and the 92Y to name a few.

Special Thanks to Evik Abbott-Main for sharing their experience with CUNY Dance Initiative at Lehman College's Lehman Center for the Performing Arts in 2021-22.

Abbott-Main's Boy Friday is a New York–based company creating surreal performance experiences charged with social commentary. Situated at the intersection of movement, visual art, and storytelling, their work bends the myth of "normal" into a mirage of q***r utopia full of futurity and potentiality.

He's presenting "You Always Do This to Me" at Triskelion Arts. September 29 - October 1

"You Always Do This to Me'' is a dance-play that finds the Audience and the Performer caught in a tangled relationship. We watch as these not-quite-lovers replay memories of the past, unfurling their circular symbiosis through dance and conversation.

Special thanks to Sidra Bell for sharing her experience with CUNY Dance Initiative. Bell was a resident at Lehman Center for the Performing Arts (2017) and Hostos Center for the Arts & Culture (2019-20).

Sidra Bell's creations have been described as, “brainy, exuberant, and audacious” (San Francisco Chronicle), demanding both physical power and tender expressiveness from her crack ensemble of “fearless and technically honed dancers” (Vancouver's Georgia Straight).

She was the first black woman choreographer for New York City Ballet. Her company, Sidra Bell Dance New York, was awarded a National Dance Project Award from NEFA, received a Dance Advancement Fund Award from Dance/NYC, been featured on NOWNESS in director Jovan Todorovic's latest film as part of MOTIONPOEMS' 8th Season at Anthology Film Archives and much more.
