The Internationalists and LPAC presents

“The Internationalists is the resident theatre company for the 2009-2010 LPAC Season.”

NOwhere NOWhere navigates the vast space between Western and Eastern identity. Using Butoh, Kathak and modern dance, Nowhere NOWhere incorporates video, text, and music, to explore what it means to be Asian in America.

Remember that singular performance that kept you in the seat long after the performers took their bows and the curtain fell? Did it feel like a journey cut too short?

Well this year LaGuardia plays map maker. LaGuardia Performing Arts Center is making radical programming choices to suit Western Queens and Long Island City. Yes, we have installed road signs with arrows, mapping out the artistic journey, so you don't have to. In previous seasons, artists needed space to develop, “not everyone had a venue”, so we gave them one.

This season to keep the spotlight following the artists, LPAC is providing direction, a forum for performers to return to our Mainstage and Little Theatre. At LaGuardia we understand the timetable of the journey is nowhere important as the map.

We're bringing back three of the 2008-2009 LPAC Lab residents for one glorious opening night event: Valerie Green Dance Entropy, Michiyo Tanaka’s Mad About Dance, and Yaa Samar Dance Theatre. The inspiration this year's choreography includes: A fortune cookie, life in a bird’s nest, and flour as a metaphor for faith.

Echoes in Time
Choreographer Andrew Nemr


Andrew Nemr’s choreography has been described as "a welcome return to the elegance of simplicity and the tap dancer as maker of aural magic." In “Echoes In Time”, Andrew and his ensemble of tap dancers and musicians reach back into the roots of tap dance by recreating works of masters such as Bill "Bojangles" Robinson, Buster Brown, Bubba Gaines, Steve Condos, Henry LeTang, Jimmy Slyde, and Gregory Hines, opening a window to the heart of a tap dancer.

Echoes In Time is made possible by the National Endowment for the Arts' American Masterpieces: Dance Initiative, administered by the New England Foundation for the Arts.

SCHOOLTIME SERIES
Harold & The Purple Crayon
(Grades Pre-K to 3rd; Ages 3-9)

Produced by the
Enchantment Theatre Company


One evening, after thinking it over for some time, Harold decided to go for a walk in the moonlight.”  So begins Harold and the Purple Crayon, the first of seven delightful picture books by Crockett Johnson, following the zany adventures of an inventive young boy.

Enchantment Theatre’s production will take your school and family audiences on a wild ride as Harold jets to Mars (shooting stars, space ships!), joins a circus (he walks a tightrope!) and meets a king in an enchanted garden (of course, there’s a dragon). The “Harold” books have captivated families for more than fifty years, celebrating the imagination of children and the unique way they see the world.

Using all the elements of its signature style, which combines life-size puppets, masks, magic and music, Enchantment’s production will delight and amaze your audiences, from children starting at Harold’s age, all the way up to grandparents — anyone, in fact, whose heart is young and adventurous.

Directed by Richard Armstrong
Choreography by Sat Hon

Internationally celebrated storyteller Diane Wolkstein and Indian dance/actor Anita Ratnam present the great Chinese epic *Journey to the West* – the first public performance of the project, in preparation for two years. This adventure follows impetuous, super-powerful Monkey and the devoted, (mostly) fearless Tang priest, as they journey to India to bring back the Buddhist scriptures. Through gorgeous movement and song, Wolkstein and Ratnam take us on a Journey of the Soul we will not soon forget.

The performance will be followed by Q&A.
