[Voxnovus] 60x60 Dance - Winter Garden - Debriefing

[Vox Novus List]

For all those who couldn't make the show:

The performance went really well.   As you might know I have attended a lot
of new music events, but it was a particular surpise to me and my
collaborator Jeramy Zimmerman that we put on the largest most successful
event in our careers to date.  (And the both of us have been in some pretty
big things:) 

It is a little hard to put into words.  And in the end I think 60x60 just
needs to be experienced.  

Have you ever seen a 60x60?  
All the shows are fun and different; however, this show was a little bit
special.  I guess the best way to describe its success is with stats.  We
had two shows; an afternoon concert and an evening concert at the Winter
Garden World Financial Center.  The first show had approximately 1600-1800
people in attendance of which 1100 were students and teachers from grade
school to high school.  The evening show had approximately 600-900 in the
audience of which 15 were composers, one of whom traveled from Texas to see
the show.  About 60 choreographers were involved creating dances to the 60
electronic audio works from the 60 composers from around the world and there
were more than 90 dancers on the stage performing.  The event was listed in
publications like The New York Times, NBC, The New Yorker, New York
Magazine, The Village Voice, Newsday, Thirteen WNET, Time Out,
Trendtrekking; we were interviewed on WKCR and WNYC and for NYPress.  

We all need to thank Jeramy Zimmerman for her dedication and commitment to
modern dance and the 60x60 project; her enthusiasm and hard work have helped
make 60x60 Dance a great success.

I want to thank all the composers of 60x60 for all the years.  Each
submission whether in or out of the mixes has been a contributing factor to
this success.  Thank you to all the choreographers, dancers, artisits, and
musicians who have collaborated and contribute to the project.  Your hard
work, sweat, and determination have been instrumental to the project's
quality and momentum.

A quick thanks to the arts> World Financial Center for providing a great
space for 60x60.

And of course thanks to the Vox Novus team!  There are too many to thank in
one email.  I like to think of us as all ONE community rather than a bunch
of individuals.  A little nod to those directly involved with this
performance: David Morneau, Anne Cammon and Isabelle Deconinck.

More to come.  Onwards and upwards!
