Brooklyn, NY: For this performance, choreographer and dancer Melanie Maar invited composers, vocalist Shelley Hirsch and musician Kenta Nagai, to further explore performance in terms of situational choreography and composition. Maar has been working with several musicians and dancers over the last years, creating performances in which theatrical aesthetic and improvisation feed each other. The emphasis lies on equal attention to the specific visual, structural, sonic, and kinetic elements coming together anew in each performance experience. Maar is proposing dance and music as a symbiotic and empathetic performance practice, where body is an instrument and instrument is a body.

About Roulette

Located in a newly renovated 1920s Art Deco concert hall in Downtown Brooklyn, the new Roulette features two levels of seating for up to 400 people (600 standing), an expanded multi-channel sound system, projection screen for film and multi-media events, state-of-the-art lighting system, modular stage, and a specially designed floor to accommodate dance. Teamed with bold new programming, the new Roulette promises to be one of the most exciting places in New York City - if not the country - to experience adventurous music and art.
