Felice
Lesser Dance Theater (212-226-2407) presents:
Dance Conversations @ The Flea Theater, 41 White St.
A series of free monthly programs that feature new dance works and lively
talk. The Lesser Dance Theater performs the first scene from Lesser's
new slapstick comedy, Funding the Arts, using live dance and spoken script
to take a rather irreverent look at the lack of adequate arts support
in America. Tues, Jan. 11 @ 7:00pm.
POWELL LEONARD TO PERFORM WITH
THE FELICE LESSER DANCE THEATER AT THE FLEA THEATER
The Felice Lesser Dance Theater will present the first scene of its new
work, Funding the Arts, at the Flea Theater in New York City, as part
of the Flea's Dance Conversations Series, on January 11, 2005. Funding
the Arts (written, choreographed, and directed by Felice Lesser), is a
comedy that takes a rather irreverent look at an important issue -- the
lack of adequate arts support in America. The plot of this slapstick comedy
concerns three former C.I.A. agents (and their K.G.B. counterparts, now
bound in a common venture), who overthrow governments around the world,
rob their treasuries, and use the booty to support their first love --
their ballet company. But nothing prepares them for what they face when
they return home and attempt to run a non-profit organization in the most
impossible, inhospitable region for ballet anywhere on the planet the
United States.
Dance Conversations @ The Flea Theater are a series of monthly programs, produced by Carol Ostrow and curated by Neta Pulvermacher, that feature new dance works and lively talk. Audience members and an invited guest present feedback to the artists after the work has been shown. The Flea Theater is located at 41 White Street, NYC. Admission is free. The program starts at 7 p.m.
