Juilliard x Lincoln Center Present the New York Premiere of John Luther Adams’ Crossing Open Ground
Composed by John Luther Adams
Directed and choreographed by Pam Tanowitz
Music directed by Nadia Sirota and Douglas Perkins
On Saturday April 27, in celebration of Earth Month, Juilliard and Lincoln Center present Crossing Open Ground, an outdoor work by John Luther Adams for winds, brass, and percussion. The piece, written for multiples of 40 musicians, will be performed across Lincoln Center’s 16-acre campus by an acoustic ensemble of Juilliard student and alumni musicians and dancers.
The event will be directed and choreographed by Pam Tanowitz and coached and co-music directed by Juilliard chamber music faculty member and Creative Associate at Large Nadia Sirota as well as Adams’ longtime collaborator percussionist Douglas Perkins.
Adams hopes his music will invite people to “slow down, pay attention, and remember our place within the larger community of life on earth.” Crossing Open Ground is a celebration of nature, life, and art as well as an opportunity to be present and engage with our surroundings.
In addition to Crossing Open Ground, Juilliard celebrates Earth Month throughout April with concerts, sponsored ecosystem restorations, and a new expansion of Ellen Reid SOUNDWALK Central Park that includes Lincoln Center and is presented by Juilliard.
Juilliard’s creative enterprise programming, including the Creative Associates program, is generously supported by Jody and John Arnhold and the Arnhold Foundation.
Crossing Open Ground was co-commissioned by the Aspen Music Festival and School and the Barry Lopez Foundation for Art & Environment.

Hauser & Wirth - In Response: Choreographer Pam Tanowitz on ‘No One Thing. David Smith, Late Sculptures’
Hauser & Wirth - In Response: Choreographer Pam Tanowitz on ‘No One Thing. David Smith, Late Sculptures’
On the occasion of the exhibition 'No One Thing. David Smith, Late Sculptures’, and paying homage to David Smith’s interest in music and dance, please join us for a performance in response to the works on view with choreographer Pam Tanowitz, and dancers Marc Crousillat, Victor Lozano, and Maile Okamura.
Sculptor David Smith (1906 – 1965) was at his most experimental and prolific during the last five years of his life. ‘No One Thing: David Smith. Late Sculptures’ presents seven of the artist’s most important sculptures from these final years.
During this period, Smith deployed welding to newly monumental ends, integrated open space into his arrangement of planar forms and animated sculptural surfaces with paint in color combinations that transcended logic—all innovations that transgressed the norm, solidified his legacy and impacted generations of artists to come.
This event is free. However, due to limited space, reservations are required.

Song of Songs @ NY City Center

Spiritual and erotic, playful and mysterious, The biblical Song of Songs (also known as The Song of Solomon) is perhaps the greatest of all love poems—a hymn of yearning, steeped in images from the natural world. The poem’s unforgettable images of the natural world have inspired artists and lovers for millennia – indeed some scholars argue that the entire tradition of Western love poetry springs from its glorious verses. Now composer David Lang and Fisher Center resident choreographer Pam Tanowitz join forces to create a major new dance-theater performance based on this radiantly beautiful text. A collage of sound, song, and movement that reimagines ancient rituals of love and courtship, Song of Songs holds the sacred and profane threads of the Song in perfect balance.

Dance On Camera Festival: I was waiting for the echo of a better day
A stunningly original dance for film, I was waiting for the echo of a better day unfolds from dawn to dusk on a single midsummer day, with dancers in electric blues and yellows weaving through the sumptuous, overgrown landscape of a historic Hudson Valley estate, overlooking the river and the Catskill Mountains. Inspired by the French New Wave, filmmaker Jeremy Jacob has created an intimate reframing of Pam Tanowitz’s angular and sensual choreography, originally developed for a live, outdoor performance at Bard College’s Montgomery Place Campus. The film features the dancers of Tanowitz’s company and music by composer Jessie Montgomery and her ensemble, Big Dog Little Dog.
Dance Films Association (DFA) and Film at Lincoln Center (FLC) present the 51st edition of the Dance on Camera Festival from February 10 to 13, 2023. The four-day festival features 13 programs with a total of 30 new films selected from over 290 submissions representing 35 countries. Dance on Camera, the longest-running dance film festival in the world, takes place at Film at Lincoln Center. The festival is programmed by the Dance Films Association.

Four Quartets @ BAM / New York, NY

Join us for the critically acclaimed, Four Quartets, as it makes its NYC premiere at the Brooklyn Academy of Music!
Celebrated New York-based choreographer Pam Tanowitz taps into Eliot’s four-part poem, a mysterious meditation on past and present, time and space, movement and stillness, replete with images of dance. Her ten-strong ensemble moves lavishly through glorious solos and duets to a beguiling score by Finnish composer Kaija Saariaho played live, while actor Kathleen Chalfant narrates from the stage, capturing the dynamic and kinetic language of Four Quartets.
The evocative stage design centers on paintings by major American artist Brice Marden, their exquisite colors and strokes each making connections to the geographical locations of the masterpiece’s four individual parts. Containing piercing and unforgettable literary passages, this unprecedented collaborative performance of the work is the first to be authorized by the TS Eliot Estate.
Published 75 years ago, Four Quartets is considered the crowning achievement of TS Eliot’s career as a poet. Today three visionaries respond to the cycle in a ravishing union of dance, music and art.
