Young Dance Collective

We also shot a lot of video, we have to process it all and will have it up tomorrow. If you like what you see come out and see the show, live is always better, so be there

Performing at PS122 on Thursday, June 5th through Sunday, June 8th, 2008

Come experience a dance-exploration into the art of becoming one’s self as interpreted by seven inspired and inspiring teen artists. The Young Dance Collective hurtles against and through expectations of where they are in the scheme of life. Alert, ardent, open and decisive, this sophisticated company offers a formative investigation that reveals the intelligence and intensity of our youth.

“Don’t think about the past. Don’t think about the future.

Don’t think about what you are going to do the next day. Invest yourself entirely in the here and now.”

—Thich Nhat Hanh

We’ve seen some of the past work by the Young Dance Collective, and thought it would be nice to bring them to your attention in case you don’t know about them already. This group of young choreographers and dancers are remarkably advanced for their age, and they defy expectations. We haven’t seen this program yet, but from what we’ve seen of their past work we thought they stood out in ways that would be worth your consideration.

The Young Dance Collective has been invited to perform in the continuation of the site-specific piece AGORA originally created and directed by Noémie Lafrance in 2005 in the abandoned McCarren Park pool in Brooklyn. Inspired by the “Agora,” the center of town or marketplace in ancient Greece, AGORA II investigates the role of public space in contemporary urban life. In this years performance the audience is invited to participate.
