Park Avenue Armory presents Trisha Brown Dance Company’s reconstruction of Astral Converted, a groundbreaking work by acclaimed choreographer Trisha Brown. This highly anticipated revival marks the first time in 18 years the piece will be presented in its entirety in the soaring 55,000-square-foot Wade Thompson Drill Hall.

The re-staging of Astral Converted brings back collaborators, Robert Rauschenberg, visual and costume design, with original music by John Cage.  Astral's dark and cosmos like set  is anchored by Rauschenberg's motion sensored towers which activated by the dancers’ movements initiate the performance’s light and sound. The movement combines sudden bursts of gravity-defying plunges and crashes with fluid leaps and falls creating an unpredictable, understated, and powerful choreographic work. With moving bodies appearing as stars amid an illimitable darkness Astral Converted is the perfect performance piece for contemporary art fans with a bent for architecture or geometry.

A MEMBER OF THE 212 FAMILY HAS PASSED AWAY.
WE APOLOGIZE FOR THE DISRUPTION– WE'LL BE BACK
IN ACTION TOMORROW. UNTIL THEN, BIG KISSES.

Zac Posen's been showing collections in New York for about a decade and it seems as though he's ready to move on to Paris. At least that's the sentiment we picked up after ALL THE BUZZ from yesterdays widely reported anona-showroom visit. Now don't get us wrong– 212 loves Zac– but we think this is a positive thing. Posen's collections are vibing with the Euro set as of late and with the New York press fawning over the Proenza's and Altuzarra's – perhaps a move to Paris is just what he needs to shift the momentum. Fall had us thinking of Zac Posen as a young mix between Ungaro and Rochas with a touch of Americana. We should note– since Giles hasn't been officially been named at Ungaro yet– Zac Posen for Emanuel Ungaro has a nice flair to it– don't you think?
