NEW Project / Research: FLIGHT … @rikkimove in flight. Thanks to instructor Andy @iflyqueens & the adventurous @_spdance, who also took flight. Last week, we felt g-forces on roller coasters at @sfgradventure. Next, exploring near-weightlessness through scuba diving with @panaquadiving. Project details coming soon!

The world premiere of Suzzanne Ponomarenko’s TAPESTRIES is on stage April 23 and April 24 in the Jerome Robbins Theater at Baryshnikov Arts Center.

TAPESTRIES is an evening-length dance theatre piece told through the curious narrative of the Unicorn Tapestries (1495–1505) and a queer reimagining of Ukrainian folklore. It consists of eight vignettes, each representing a different tapestry and folklore, threaded together to tell the tale of the Magical Unicorn. This hour-length performance unfolds through rigorous and quirky dance vocabulary abstracted from Ukrainian folk dance, ballet, post-modernism, and modern dance, alongside projections of newly imagined tapestries illustrated in a surrealist, dreamlike form by Emmy Castellani, a meticulously crafted, eclectic score by Katie-James Rushin, and costumed by visionary designer David Quinn. Tapestries serves as an embodied archive of the LGBTQIA+ people; an ever-evolving abstract multi-disciplinary Сморгасбург (Smorgasbord) of queer Ukrainian culture and history. This piece was developed in part during a Baryshnikov Arts Residency. 
PERFORMANCE SCHEDULE:
Thursday, April 23 @ 7:00pm Friday, April 24 @ 7:00pm

Tickets range from $29 to $39, and are available online at baryshnikovarts.org.

The Baryshnikov Arts Center is located at 450 West 37th Street in Hell’s Kitchen.
