Man Greater Than His Ten Fingers
Monday, October 10, 2011 @ 8 pm
Blankenship Ballet at Alexandria
The Alexandria Hotel
501 S. Spring Street
2nd floor ballroom
Los Angeles, CA 90013
Taking its name after a line in the Rig Veda, Man Greater Than His Ten Fingers is an evening of dance and performance that stresses diversity, community, and collaboration. Asking artists to speak to their respective practices in solos and sometimes pairing them with those so far out of their realm, the performance will feature work that speaks of family, of history, of tradition, of parts of ourselves now dead but lingering, of the sublime, of that which is superhuman.
Featured artists range in a variety of practices and spaces, exemplifying and stretching what we know as dance and performance, sound and music, sacred and secular, high art and low art. They include Ariel R. Campos, Brian Getnick, Maya Gingery, Kingsley Irons, Cynthia Lee, Shyamala Moorty, Leopold Nunan, Anna B. Scott, and more.

BODY WITHOUT ORGANS...NEW SHOW! 10/13/2010

BODY WITHOUT ORGANS, a new dance theater work Concieved, Directed and Performed by Maya Gingery with the collaboration of Visual and Performing Artist Brian Getnick and featuring Archie Carey on bassoon, shakuhachi and electronic interfaces.
After a successful premiere, BODY WITHOUT ORGANS: An Anti-Dance or Another Kind of Homage to Dead Heroes is being performed again in a new and improved version of the original. In the spirit of Deleuze/Guattari's concept, The Body Without Organs can never be attained but is always present, perhaps shining light on the paradox we all experience. As in Life itself, we are completely immersed in it's web. Think Rhizome. Don't think of it as Power, but as it's antithesis.
Butoh is it's closest ally in the movement arts. The butoh artist searches for the authentic self through a collaboration and intimate encounter with history and environment. The Body Without Organs, according to Delueze/Guattari, is the model for understanding our truest nature. BwO gives form to this concept through movement, light and sound.

BODY WITHOUT ORGANS:
AN ANTI-DANCE OR ANOTHER KIND OF HOMAGE TO DEAD HEROES
Directed by Maya Gingery
Performed by:
Maya Gingery, dance
Brian Getnick, performance
Archie Carey, music
Inspired by the writings of Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari, ('A Thousand Plateaus) it's a butoh in the purest sense, not an imitation of white-painted bodies but an investigation into the nature of self and the intersection of other.
"Underneath all reason lies delirium, and drift." ~ Gilles Deleuze

Pina Bausch Passing 06/30/2009
I've been fortunate to have met Pina Bausch on several occasions, most recently in Wuppertal in 2008, where I performed at the Pina Bausch Dance Festival. I saw her first US performances at the 1984 Olympic Arts Festival in Los Angeles and have been a lover of her work ever since. Besides Los Angeles, I've seen them in New York, Paris, and Tokyo. Wuppertal was her base and so it was most interesting to see her with her home audience, who are obviously very devoted. Several of her oldest company members performed, and they were treated like divas.
Here's an interesting article on her work: Difficult Dances: The Choreography of Pina Bausch
New Blog 06/22/2009
