Live Stage: Deborah Hay [
NYC]

The School of Art at The Cooper Union and Danspace Project present Deborah Hay: A Lecture on the Performance of Beauty :: March 24, 2010; 7:00 pm :: The Great Hall, The Cooper Union, 7 East 7th Street, NYC :: Free admission.
A Lecture on the Performance of Beauty is a performative talk framed around the question “can a formal and stimulating adherence to a prescribed set of hypothetical conditions be seen as choreography even if there is no learned movement?” Hay was a member of a group of experimental artists that was deeply influenced by Merce Cunningham and John Cage. The group, later known as the Judson Dance Theater, became one of the most radical and explosive 20th century art movements. Her ground breaking research and performances continue to influence new generations of artists throughout the world today.
Deborah Hay performs her first solo in six years as part of Danspace Project’s guest curated series PLATFORM 2010: Back to New York City curated by Juliette Mapp. In addition to Hay, who will present No Time to Fly March 25-27 at 8pm, Mapp has invited seven artists with deep ties to New York City to present work in this series. March 18 -20 at 8pm, Intermedia artist Elaine Summers presents a retrospective weekend of film and dance installations, Improvisation with Sun, Moon & Stars: An Evening of Intermedia Works.
