FROM MGM
THIS DANCE IS CALLED GREE. IT IS FROM BEDSTUY.
kaleidoscopic blinks presented in portable proscenium

A quality knock-off you've never seen the original of, THIS DANCE IS
CALLED GREE. IT IS FROM BEDSTUY. is the new dance piece of renegade
touring project, Modern Garage Movement, aka MGM.
Started in San Francisco, based in Brooklyn, MGM is dancers Felicia Ballos, Biba Bell & JM Leary.
Inspired by hardcore touring rock bands, JM conceptualized MGM into a five week US touring project summer 2006, dancing in garages, backyards, packing sheds, wine warehouses, galleries and community centers.
The performance of GREE is an assignment to cultivate urban flowers in secret gardens by grafting the sounds of Stevie Wonder to Pash(ly), costumes of Neil Greenberg to soccer outfits and the dances of Youssouf Koumbassa to Sarah Michelson.
The show opens with a dimly lit seating area entirely covered by foliage, which is then removed by the dancers as the audience members arrive and are integrated into the thicket. GREE dusts off dance pieces, sets and audiences, invisibly arousing all growing, moving things.

bodycity VI: seveneight

Oh my god it's totally summer. There are housesitting opportunities with swimming pools and neurotic dogs. Find them. And call us. And if you don't succeed, bring the fun to your house. Like Belmont Dreams, a house that offers itself up as nice little spot for traveling bands and roving dancers.

Excited by the communal, familial, and celebratory dancing of the days of yore, bodycity welcomes in the summer with a bit of magic, a bit of neon, and a dance vibe that just screams summer solstice.

And with the summer, we welcome new dancers! Three lovely ladies have joined our efforts and will dance with us this Friday. Say hello to Ali, Cristina, and Jennifer. Hi guys!

This Friday, July 13 at 8pm

Well, look at us!

We're out of the bloody trenches and moving in for the kill for our next project: bodycity V: responsive theater. We've been round-tabling all of our thoughts on the process and product now completed and are FULL of plans for a constructive, site specific work addressing our frustrations, delights, and ruminations incurred along the way through Hot Young Girls Are Evil: A Bloody Burlesque Comedy.





For those of you who came out and saw it, THANK YOU! It was astounding to see so many faces in the house and to enjoy the ensuing conversations after the performance. Awesome.
For those of you who didn't see it, no sweat - this upcoming project will be all the more interesting and we'll be sure to provide ample amounts of context.



We'll post again as the details line up!
