bor” and “Ave María Lola”. During this same period\, Montañez contributed
vocals to the three superb Puerto Rico All Stars salsa albums Puerto Rico
All Stars (1977)\, Los Profesionales (1978)\, and 1979’s Tribute to Messia
h which was dedicated to Eddie Palmieri. In 1980\, Montañez formed his own
orchestra in Puerto Rico and released the popular album Salsa Con Caché.
1985’s Andy Montañez was a game changer not only because it was on the Bil
lboard Tropical chart for 30 weeks and reached #2\, but because it was the
first of many albums that would feature Andy’s sons Andy Jr. and Harold M
ontañez singing coro. 1987’s Mejor Acompañado Que Nunca and 1988’s El Eter
no Enamorado allowed Montañez to secure his place amongst the legends of S
alsa. During the ‘90s\, he also recorded three albums of boleros and Bohem
ian songs with fellow Salsa great Ismael Miranda\, followed by a reunion i
n 2005 to record the hit song “Se Fue Y Me Dejo”. Montañez (with Pablo Mil
anes) won the 2006 Latin GRAMMY Award for Best Traditional Tropical Album

e Agua\, contributed the song “Cortaron a Elena/Santa María” to the album

, he released his 2017 album Best 55 Años De Historia which he recorded wi
th his sons and their salsa band Sabor y Mucho Swing that also includes hi
s single “Acompañame”. In 2018\, Montañez was honored with the Lifetime Ac
hievement Award as part of the 19th Latin GRAMMY Awards.\n\nThe MAMBO LEGE
NDS ORCHESTRA are masters of performing the music of the Palladium Era: Ma
chito\, Tito Puente\, and Tito Rodriguez\, and was created in 2000 by form
er members of the Tito Puente Orchestra\, led by John “Dandy” Rodriquez\,
Mitch Frohman and musical director Jose Madera. Famed bongocero John “Dand
y” Rodriguez began performing as a teenager with Tito Rodriguez and played
with Ray Barretto and Típica ’73 in the ‘70s before beginning his 27-year
stint playing bongos in Tito Puente’s band. Bronx native Mitch Frohman wa
s the sax and flute soloist with the Tito Puente Orchestra for 25 years an
d has also played and recorded with such famed Latin artists Eddie and Cha
rlie Palmieri\, Paquito D’Rivera\, Chico O’Farrill and the Grammy-winning
Spanish Harlem Orchestra. Musical director\, timbalero and arranger Jose M
adera started playing timbales with Machito as a teenager and was the firs
t musical director for the Machito Orchestra. He was Tito Puente’s conguer
o for 30 years\, his musical director for ten years\, the staff arranger a
t Fania Records since the 1970’s and has performed on over 100 recordings
by Latin\, pop\, R&B and jazz artists. The Mambo Legends Orchestra is dedi
cated to keeping the ‘50s and ‘60s Palladium-era sound alive as it explore
s new musical concepts. Their release\, Watch Out! ¡Ten Cuidao! (2011) was
nominated for the Latin Grammy Award for Best Salsa Album and they were f
eatured in the 2013 documentary film “For the Love of the Mambo.”\n\nPATTY
PADILLA grew up in Bogotá\, Colombia where she began to sing professional
ly with the local salsa musical group KATERVA before joining the salsa ban
d Los Dinámicos in 1999 and the Orquesta Los Número Uno de Columbia in 200
1. Inspired by the great female Cuban salsa vocalist Celia Cruz\, Padilla
formed the Azúcar Band in 2002 to present the rhythm and flavor of salsa\,
the beat of the drums of Colombian cumbia with sounds of the accordion\,
box and guaracha of Vallenato\, and the joy of merengue and tropical music
. Because her voice was often compared to Celia’s\, Patty became part of t
he Colombian reality show Yo Me Llamo\, where she sang the role of Celia C
ruz. The national success of the show led Patty to gain significant intern
ational recognition and to land the role of the musical voice of the Queen
of Salsa in the Spanish-language telenovela Celia\, produced by Fox Telec
olombia. In 2017\, she released a tribute album\, Tributo a La Guarachera\
, showcasing her voice that fits the guarachas in her own phenomenal way.
Highlights of the album include “Mi Salsa Pa ’Los Rumberos” and “Sopita En
Botella”. In 2020\, she released the single “La Noche Entera” with Cuban
singer Naldo De Cuba and was featured on the album Clones de la Salsa\, wh
ere she represented Celia Cruz. Patty Padilla’s Tribute performance to Cel
ia Cruz at Lehman Center is a performance you will not want to miss!\n\nLe

ch Frohman and musical director Jose Madera. Fam

ming as a teenager with Tito Rodriguez and played with Ray Barretto and Típica ’73 in the ‘70s be
fore beginning his 27-year stint playing bongos in Tito Puente’s band. Bronx native Mitch Frohman was the sax and flute soloist wit
h the Tito Puente Orchestra for 25 years and has also played and recorded

h the local salsa musical group KATERVA before j
oining the salsa band Los Dinámicos in 1999 and
the Orquesta Los Número Uno de Columbia in 2001. Inspired
by the great female Cuban salsa vocalist Celia Cruz\, Padilla fo
rmed the Azúcar Band in 2002 to present the rhythm and fl
avor of salsa\, the beat of the drums of Colombian cumbia with sounds of the accordion\, box and guaracha of Vallenato\,
and the joy of merengue and tropical music. Because her voice was
often compared to Celia’s\, Patty became part of the Colombian reality sh
ow Yo Me Llamo\, where she sang the role of Celi
a Cruz. The national success of the show led Patty to gain significant int
ernational recognition and to land the role of the musical voice of the Qu
een of Salsa in the Spanish-language telenovela Celia\, produced by Fox Telecolombia. In 2017\, she released a tribute alb
um\, Tributo a La Guarachera\, showcasing her vo
ice that fits the guarachas in her own phenomenal way. Highlights
of the album include “Mi Salsa Pa ’Los Rumberos” and “Sopita En Botella”. In 2020\, she released the single “La Noche Entera” with Cuban singer Naldo De Cuba and was featured on the album Clones de la Salsa\, where she represented Celia Cruz. Patty Padilla’s Tribute performa

DESCRIPTION:Composer Nathan Felix at High Line Nine\nRivers Unite : Divide
– an immersive opera by composer Nathan Felix\nThursday\, October 28\n6:30
pm – 8:00 pm\nHigh Line Nine\n507 W 27th St\, New York\, NY 10001\nCost:
Free\nRSVP on this page\nNew York\, NY – October 11th\, 2021 – Mexican-Am
erican composer Nathan Felix will present his new immersive operetta title
d Rivers Unite : Divide at the High Line Nine (507 W 27th St) gallery in C
helsea on Thursday October 28 from 6:30 – 8:00pm. Rivers Unite : Divide t
ackles subjects such as re-appropriation\, borderlands and rivers as cultu
ral and territorial boundaries. The star-studded cast features soprano Cel
este Morales\, mezzo-soprano Kathleen Shelton\, baritone Phillip Bullock a
nd tenor Joseph Sacchi.\n\nHigh Line Nine aims to shatter the stuffy perce
ption of classical music by emphasizing the audience experience. This one-
time performance at the High Line Nine on October 28th from 6:30 – 8pm wil
l occur in and around various spaces and galleries within the High Line Ni
ne. Felix is known for his guerilla-style approach in presenting classical
music in unconventional spaces and Rivers Unite : Divide is no exception\
, with a performance utilizing space\, movement\, and acoustics to activat
e the galleries.\n\nThe idea behind Felix’s immersive operetta revolves ar
ound blurring the line between performer and audience by having musical pe

d to all performances.\n\nNEW YORK — Theater for the New City\, 155 First
Avenue\, will present its 47th annual Thunderbird American Dancers Pow Wow
and Dance Concert from January 14 to 23\, 2022. There will be dances\, st
ories and traditional music from Native Peoples of the Northeast\, Southwe
st and Great Plains regions. The event has become a treasured New York tra
dition for celebrating our diversity by honoring the culture of our first
Americans. TNC donates all proceeds from the event to college scholarship
funds for Native American students.\n\nA Pow-Wow is more than just a spec
tator event: it is a joyous reunion for native peoples nationwide and an o
pportunity for the non-Indian community to voyage into the philosophy and
beauty of Native culture. Traditionally a gathering and sharing of events\
, Pow-Wows have come to include spectacular dance competitions\, exhibitio
ns\, and enjoyment of traditional foods.\n\nThroughout the performance\, a
ll elements are explained in depth through detailed introductions by the t
roupe’s Director and Emcee Louis Mofsie (Hopi/Winnebago). An educator\, Mo
fsie plays an important part in the show by his ability to present a compr
ehensive view of native culture. He was awarded a 2019 Bessie Award for O
utstanding Service to the Field of Dance. In 2017\, he was honored\, alon
g with Garth Fagan and Martha Myers\, with a Lifetime Achievement Award fr
om American Dance Guild.\n\nHighlights will also include storytelling by M
atoaka Eagle (Santo Domingo/Chickahominy)\, a Hoop Dance set to guitar and
flute music that will be performed on alternating dates by Marie Ponce (C
herokee and Seminole)\, Michael Taylor (Choktaw) and Matt Cross (Kiowa)\;
a Deer Dance (from the Yaqui Tribes of Southern Arizona) with Ciaran Tuffo
rd (Mayan/Cherokee) and Carlos Ponce (Mayan)\, and various ensemble dances
: a Grass Dance and Jingle Dress Dance (from the Northern Plains people)\,
a Stomp Dance (from the Southeastern tribes)\, a Shawl Dance (from the Ok
lahoma tribes)\, a Fancy Dance (from the Oklahoma tribes) and a Robin Danc
e and Smoke Dance (from the Iroquois). As the audience enters the theater\
, they will be serenaded by the Heyna Second Son Singers (various tribes).
\n\nPageantry is an important component of the event\, and all participant
s are elaborately dressed. There is a wealth of cultural information encod
ed in the movements of each dance. More than ten distinct tribes will be r
epresented in the performance. The dozen-or-so dancers are people of all a
ges\, raging from thirteen-year-old Isabel Cespedes (Mayan) to retirees.\n
\nNative American crafts and jewelry will be sold in the TNC lobby.\n\nAll
audience members\, including children\, must show proof they are vaccinat
ed to attend this live performance. Children under 5 will not be admitted.
Masks are required at all times for all audience members. Performers wil
l not be masked.\n\nMatinées are kids’ days\, when vaccinated children age
d five to twelve accompanied by a vaccinated\, ticket-bearing adult are ad
mitted for $1.00 (adults $15). Ordinarily\, at the conclusion of these mat
inées\, young audience members pose for pictures with the dancers. This y
ear\, due to Covid restrictions\, pictures of the dancers will be allowed
but not with audience participation.\n\nLast year\, due to the COVID lockd
own\, this event had to be presented virtually.\n\nThe Thunderbird America
n Indian Dancers are the oldest resident Native American dance company in
New York. The troupe was founded in 1963 by a group of ten Native American
men and women\, all New Yorkers\, who were descended from Mohawk\, Hopi\,
Winnebago and San Blas tribes. Prominent among the founders were Louis Mo
fsie (Hopi/Winnebago) and his sister\, Josephine Mofsie (deceased)\, Rosem
ary Richmond (Mohawk\, deceased)\, Muriel Miguel (Cuna/Rapahannock) and Ja
ck Preston (Seneca\, deceased). Some were in school at the time\; all were
“first generation\,” meaning that their parents had been born on reservat
ions. They founded the troupe to keep alive the traditions\, songs and dan
ces they had learned from their parents\, and added to their repertoire fr
om other Native Americans living in New York and some who were passing thr
ough. Jack Preston taught the company its Iroquois dances\, including the
Robin Dance and Fish Dance. To these were added dances from the plains\, i
ncluding the Hopi Buffalo Dance\, and newer dances including the Grass Dan
ce and Jingle Dress Dance. The company was all-volunteer\, a tradition tha
t exists to today. Members range in professions from teachers to hospital
patient advocates\, tree surgeons and computer engineers. Now Louis Mofsie
says\, “To be going for 58 years is just amazing to me\, and to be able t
o do the work we do.”\n\nThe troupe made a home in the old McBurney YMCA o
n 23rd Street and Seventh Ave. Within three or four years\, they were trav
eling throughout the continental U.S.\, expanding and sharing their repert
oire and gleaning new dances on the reservations. A number of Thunderbird
members are winners of Fancy Dance contests held on reservations\, where t
he standard of competition is unmistakably high.\n\nThe Thunderbird-TNC co
llaboration began in 1975\, when Crystal Field directed a play called “The
Only Good Indian.” For research\, Ms. Field lived on a Hopi reservation f
or three weeks. In preparation for the project\, she met Louis Mofsie\, Ar
tistic Director of the dance troupe and a representative of the American I
ndian Community House. Mofsie suggested a Pow Wow and dance concert to cel
ebrate the winter solstice. Field\, who is herself 1% native American\, co
mmitted herself to bring this to fruition. The event has continued annual
ly to this day.\n\nThe troupe’s appearances benefit college scholarship fu
nds for Native American students. The Thunderbird American Indian Dancers
Scholarship Fund receives its sole support from events like this concert (
it receives no government or corporate contributions)\, and has bestowed o
ver 350 scholarships to-date. Theater for the New City has been presenting
Pow-Wows annually as a two-week event since 1976\, with the box office do
nated to these scholarships.\n\nTheater for the New City is located at 155
First Avenue (at East Tenth Street). Performances are January 14 – 23\, F
ridays at 8:00 PM\; Saturdays at 3:00 PM and 8:00 PM and Sundays at 3:00 p
m. Tickets are $15 general admission. Matinees are kids’ days when vaccina
ted children ages five to twelve accompanied by a vaccinated\, ticket-bear
ing adult are admitted for $1.00 (adults $15). Babies and children under f
ive will not be admitted. The TNC box office is 212-254-1109\, www.theate

e\, and newer dances including the Grass Dance and Jingle Dress Dance. The
company was all-volunteer\, a tradition that exists to today. Members ran
ge in professions from teachers to hospital patient advocates\, tree surge
ons and computer engineers. Now Louis Mofsie says\, “To be going for 58 ye
ars is just amazing to me\, and to be able to do the work we do.”\n\nThe t
roupe made a home in the old McBurney YMCA on 23rd Street and Seventh Ave.
Within three or four years\, they were traveling throughout the continent
al U.S.\, expanding and sharing their repertoire and gleaning new dances o
n the reservations. A number of Thunderbird members are winners of Fancy D
ance contests held on reservations\, where the standard of competition is
unmistakably high.\n\nThe Thund
erbird-TNC collaboration began in 1975\, when Crystal Field directed a pla
y called “The Only Good Indian.” For research\, Ms. Field lived on a Hopi
reservation for three weeks. In preparation for the project\, she met Loui
s Mofsie\, Artistic Director of the dance troupe and a representative of t
he American Indian Community House. Mofsie suggested a Pow Wow and dance c
oncert to celebrate the winter solstice. Field\, who is herself 1% native
American\, committed herself to bring this to fruition. The event has con
tinued annually to this day.\n\nThe troupe’s appearances benefit college s
cholarship funds for Native American students. The Thunderbird American In
dian Dancers Scholarship Fund receives its sole support from events like t
his concert (it receives no government or corporate contributions)\, and h
as bestowed over 350 scholarships to-date. Theater for the New City has be
en presenting Pow-Wows annually as a two-week event since 1976\, with the
box office donated to these scholarships.\n\nTheater for the New City
is located at 155 First Avenue (at East Tenth Street). Performances are Ja
nuary 14 – 23\, Fridays at 8:00 PM\; Saturdays at 3:00 PM and 8:00 PM and
Sundays at 3:00 pm. Tickets are $15 general admission. Matinees are kids’

y Dance invited three choreographers — Saeed Hani\, Tsai Hsi Hung\, and Ch
ristopher Núñez — to respond to the artwork of Hans Hofmann (1880-1966)\,
one of the 20th century’s most influential painters and teachers. Each of
the choreographers found distinctly different inspiration in Hofmann’s oeu
vre\, including his poetic imagery\, groundbreaking painting techniques\,
and use of brilliant color. Together their three works embody Hofmann’s le
gacy of imagination and abstract expression. To read what the choreographe
rs have to say about their processes\, visit hofmann.batterydance.org.\n\n
“The foundation of both Battery Dance’s and my own artistry is interdiscip
linary in nature\,” said Jonathan Hollander\, Founder\, Battery Dance. “I
studied painting and sculpture before becoming a dancer. For many years\,
Battery Dance has commissioned artists to design settings for productions\

Germany gave further logic and inspiration for exploring the work of Hans
Hofmann this season and to turn over the choreographic reins to three div

\nSaeed Hani\, a Syrian-German dancer\, choreographer\, and the director o
f Hani Dance Company\, was born in Syria and received his early training a
t the Higher Institute of Dramatic Arts in Damascus. After his graduation\
, he joined the prestigious Caracalla Dance Company in Beirut\, Lebanon. I
n the fall of 2015\, he moved to Trier\, Germany and founded his company\,
HANI DANCE\, in 2016. In his work\, Hani explores the intersection of vis
ual art and dance\, as well as power\, dynamism\, and imagery that alludes
to his philosophy and life experience. Hani performed and assisted the Co
mpany’s “Dancing to Connect for Refugee Integration” projects for two succ
essive years in Germany before the pandemic.\n\nFor Hofmann Dances\, Hani
created “Wind in the Olive Grove\,” which is inspired by two Hofmann paint
ings “Olive Grove” and “Wind.” Both relate to the natural beauty of Syria
and the impact of war that has forced a generation of artists to flee. “Th
e olive tree is a symbol of my Syrian homeland and reminds me of a time of
innocence during my childhood when no one could conceive that events woul
d tear the country apart\,” said Hani. “Hofmann’s representation of wind r
epresents for me the upheaval and chaos that descended on my country and f
orced me to leave.”\n\nTsai Hsi Hung is a dancer\, choreographer\, and tea
cher and a graduate of Taipei National University of the Arts. She studied
abroad at Australia’s Queensland Technology University Dance Department a
nd worked with the Australian Dance Theater\, Tasdance\, Expressions Dance
Company\, and Chunky Move Dance Company Dancers. Since moving to the U.S.
\, she has received a Choreography Fellowship from the New Jersey Council
on the Arts and her choreography was selected by the Joffrey Academy of Da
nce for “Winning Works” performance in Chicago. In 2020\, Hung presented w
ork at the Taipei National Dance Theater\, and in 2021\, she won Western M
ichigan University’s National Choreography Competition. Ballet X presented
her work during its 2020-21 season\, and for Ballet X’s 2022 Season\, Hun
g will create a new work as part of the Ballet X Choreographer’s Fellowshi
p. Hung will be in residence in the dance department of Kennesaw State Uni
versity\, Georgia in the summer of 2022. She teaches in New York at Perida
nce Capezio Dance Center and NYU Tisch Dance and /MOVE|NYC|\, and is the d
irector of the Queens Ballet Center/QBC Company.\n\n“A Certain Mood” is in
spired by Hans Hofmann’s painting of the same name. “Hofmann’s use of spac
e and color gave me a feeling of darkness moving into light\,” said Hung.
“As a painter\, I often transpose the movement of the brushstroke into my
choreography. I wanted to capture the vibrant quality of Hofmann’s work by
showcasing the athletic movements of the dancers and embody the energy of
the painting.”\n\nChristopher “Unpezverde” Núñez iis a visually impaired
choreographer\, educator\, activist and accessibility consultant based in
New York City and originally from Costa Rica. In March\, he was named one
of only two Princeton University Arts Fellows for 2022-2024. His performan
ces have been presented at The Brooklyn Museum\, The Kitchen\, Movement Re
search at The Judson Church\, Danspace Project\, The Joyce Theater\, The L
eslie-Lohman Museum of Art\, Battery Dance Festival\, Performance Mix Fest
ival\, and Dixon Place. He has held residencies at New Dance Alliance\, Ba
ttery Dance Studios\, The Kitchen\, Center for Performance Research\, Move
ment Research\, Danspace Project\, and Brooklyn Academy of Music. Núñez re
ceived the Leslie-Lohman Museum Fellowship in 2018\, the Sustainability of
Practice Fund for BIPOC Artists by Movement Research in 2021\, a City Art
ist Corps Grant in 2021\, two Emergency Grants by Foundation for Contempor
ary Arts (2019/2021). In 2021\, he was a Jerome Hill Artist Fellowship Fin
alist. Núñez was invited by the NYC Mayor’s Office to share his story as a
disabled and formerly undocumented artist during Immigrant Heritage Week
2020. Núñez received his green card in 2018\, but he continues to be an ad
vocate for the rights of undocumented disabled immigrant artists. He holds
a BFA in Science in Performing Arts from the National University of Costa
Rica.\n\nIn his work “Above Deep Waters\,” Núñez draws inspiration from H
ofmann’s painting of the same name. Núñez has a special interest in expand
ing Audio Description as an artistic medium for visually impaired communit
ies to experience color and composition in a multi-dimensional way. For th
is\, Núñez uses an original soundscape that includes recordings of the dan
cers verbalizing the titles of Hofmann’s paintings\, plus poetic games of
voice and text\, and an exploration of the dancer’s emotional and physical
states. The spoken-word accompaniment is a way for every audience member\
, including the visually impaired\, to explore their relationship to color

sed in New York City and originally from Costa Rica. In March\, he was nam
ed one of only two Princeton University Arts Fellows for 2022-2024. His pe
rformances have been presented at The Brooklyn Museum\, The Kitchen\, Move
ment Research at The Judson Church\, Danspace Project\, The Joyce Theater\
, The Leslie-Lohman Museum of Art\, Battery Dance Festival\, Performance M
ix Festival\, and Dixon Place. He has held residencies at New Dance Allian
ce\, Battery Dance Studios\, The Kitchen\, Center for Performance Research
\, Movement Research\, Danspace Project\, and Brooklyn Academy of Music. N
úñez received the Leslie-Lohman Museum Fellowship in 2018\, the Sustainabi
lity of Practice Fund for BIPOC Artists by Movement Research in 2021\, a C
ity Artist Corps Grant in 2021\, two Emergency Grants by Foundation for Co
ntemporary Arts (2019/2021). In 2021\, he was a Jerome Hill Artist Fellows
hip Finalist. Núñez was invited by the NYC Mayor’s Office to share his sto
ry as a disabled and formerly undocumented artist during Immigrant Heritag
e Week 2020. Núñez received his green card in 2018\, but he continues to b
e an advocate for the rights of undocumented disabled immigrant artists. H
e holds a BFA in Science in Performing Arts from the National University o
f Costa Rica.\n\nIn his work “Above Deep Waters\,” Núñez draws inspiration
from Hofmann’s painting of the same name. Núñez has a special interest in
expanding Audio Description as an artistic medium for visually impaired c
ommunities to experience color and composition in a multi-dimensional way.
For this\, Núñez uses an original soundscape that includes recordings of
the dancers verbalizing the titles of Hofmann’s paintings\, plus poetic ga
mes of voice and text\, and an exploration of the dancer’s emotional and p
hysical states. The spoken-word accompaniment is a way for every audience
member\, including the visually impaired\, to explore their relationship t
o color.\n\nABOUT HANS HOFMANN\n\nHans Hofmann (18
80–1966) is one of the most important figures of postwar American art. Cel
ebrated for his exuberant\, color-filled canvases\, and renowned as an inf
luential teacher for generations of artists—first in his native Germany\,
then in New York and Provincetown—Hofmann played a pivotal role in the dev
elopment of Abstract Expressionism.\n\nABOUT BATTERY DANCE<

www.theaterforthenewcity.net\, for those who are home-bound or live far a
way.\n\nExcerpts of two recent sold-out TNC shows will be presented: “Haml
et in Harlem” and “The Un-American” (schedule TBA).\nBACKGROUND\nThe Festi
val started in 1996 as a three-day\, indoor and outdoor multi-arts festiva
l intended to demonstrate the creative explosion of the Lower East Side an
d the area’s importance to culture and tourism for New York City. It emplo
yed two theater spaces at TNC plus the block of East Tenth Street between
First and Second Avenues. For the past 26 years\, it has been organized b
y TNC and a coalition of civic\, cultural and business leaders and present
ed free to an average attendance of 4\,000.\n\nThe concept of the festival
was developed by Crystal Field\, Executive Artistic Director of TNC and E
sther Cartegena (d. 2006)\, President of Loisaida\, Inc.\, to portray the
Lower East Side (LES) as a haven for artists and artistic creation. The r
egion is a unique multi-ethnic community with an unusually high level of a
rtistic vitality. Large populations with differing languages and cultures
coexist there successfully and a large artistic population helps glue the
neighborhood together. Its theaters are also an unprecedented source of
tourism. Sam Shepard’s Pulitzer Prize-winning play\, “Buried Child\,” was
commissioned and first produced by TNC. The committee envisioned an even
t that would demonstrate the region’s cultural fervor\, its large artistic
population and its multiplicity of ethnic influences to contradict the ne
ighborhood’s stereotype as a dangerous refuge for drug dealers and crimina
l activity.\n\nThe first festival\, presented June 14 to 16\, 1996\, featu
red over 100 attractions\, drew favorable press and attracted crowds from
all around the City. Its success prompted TNC to continue the festival as
an annual event.\n\nDisciplines presented have always included theater\,
music\, dance\, poetry\, puppetry\, cabaret\, visual art\, film and childr
en’s programming.\nSPECIAL CREDITS\nFestival Director is Crystal Field. A
ssistant Directors are J.C. Augustin\, Ronnie Elmore\, Annika Prager and K
atherine Dreves.\n\nThe LES Festival is created and organized by The LES C
ommittee: David Aronson\, Alex Bartenieff\, Briana Bartenieff\, Joe Battis

und or live far away.\n\nExcerpts of two recent sold-out TNC shows will be
presented: “Hamlet in Harlem” and “The Un-American” (schedule TBA).\n
BACKGROUND
\nThe Festival started in 1996 as a
three-day\, indoor and outdoor multi-arts festival intended to demonstrat
e the creative explosion of the Lower East Side and the area’s importance
to culture and tourism for New York City. It employed two theater spaces a
t TNC plus the block of East Tenth Street between First and Second Avenues
. For the past 26 years\, it has been organized by TNC and a coalition of
civic\, cultural and business leaders and presented free to an average at
tendance of 4\,000.\n\nThe concept of the festival was developed by Crysta
l Field\, Executive Artistic Director of TNC and Esther Cartegena (d. 2006
)\, President of Loisaida\, Inc.\, to portray the Lower East Side (LES) as
a haven for artists and artistic creation. The region is a unique multi-
ethnic community with an unusually high level of artistic vitality. Large
populations with differing languages and cultures coexist there successfu
lly and a large artistic population helps glue the neighborhood together.
Its theaters are also an unprecedented source of tourism. Sam Shepard’s
Pulitzer Prize-winning play\, “Buried Child\,” was commissioned and first
produced by TNC. The committee envisioned an event that would demonstrate
the region’s cultural fervor\, its large artistic population and its mult
iplicity of ethnic influences to contradict the neighborhood’s stereotype
as a dangerous refuge for drug dealers and criminal activity.\n\nThe first
festival\, presented June 14 to 16\, 1996\, featured over 100 attractions
\, drew favorable press and attracted crowds from all around the City. It
s success prompted TNC to continue the festival as an annual event.\n\nDis
ciplines presented have always included theater\, music\, dance\, poetry\,
puppetry\, cabaret\, visual art\, film and children’s programming.\n

DESCRIPTION:NYC National Puerto Rican Day Parade + 152n Street Festival + O
fficial Press Release\nSunday\, June 12\, 2022\nRoute according to sources
: 43rd to 79th Street on Fifth.\nThe Puerto Rican Day parade is back this
year for a big celebration on Fifth Avenue. We were there last year when a
relatively tiny group of folk were on 5th Avenue celebrating the parade d
espite the health scare that’s riddle this nation\, and the world\, with p
roblems. But this year\, the numbers of people participating is expected t
o reach into the tens of thousands if not hundreds. Although\, rain is exp
ected throughout the day so we’ll see.\n\nWith floats\, music and big time
celebrating it’s the most highly anticipated event in NYC amongst the Lat
ino community.\nFollowing is this year’s official Press Release:\nMay 10\,
2022\, New York City – On Sunday\, June 12\, the NPRDP will celebrate 65
years of showcasing the best of Puerto Rican culture\, achievement and leg
acy with music\, dance and colorful displays of cultural pride before an e
stimated 1.5 million spectators. After a two-year hiatus due to COVID-19\,
the National Puerto Rican Day Parade (NPRDP) Board of Directors announces
details for its big return to New York City’s Fifth Avenue. The NPRDP ser
ves to unite approximately 8 million Puerto Ricans living across the 50 st
ates and Puerto Rico in cultural pride and tradition.\n\n“This is a milest
one year for the Parade\, and our return to Fifth Avenue is yet another si
gn that NYC and the Puerto Rican community are strong\, resilient and as v
ibrant as ever\,” said NPRDP Board Chair\, Louis Maldonado. “The NPRDP Boa
rd of Directors invites all Boricuas in the New York City area\, Puerto Ri
co and across the patria extendida (diaspora) to join us on June 12 to exc
laim ¡WEPA! and sing ‘Qué bonita bandera\,’ just as we have for the last 6
4 years.”\n\nOver the past two years\, the NPRDP Board of Directors contin
ued the annual tradition by pivoting to smaller processions on Fifth Avenu
e and 2-hour TV specials airing on ABC7 in New York City and Telecinco in
Puerto Rico\, which helped the Puerto Rican community celebrate virtually.
Groups interested in participating in the 2022 Parade should visit the “F
loats & Contingents” page on the Parade’s website\, NPRDPinc.org/floats\,
for additional details and instructions for completing an online applicati

r presentation.\n\nThe 2022 Parade will be dedicated to the municipality o
f Cidra\, Puerto Rico. Known as the Pueblo de la Eterna Primavera (Town of
Eternal Spring)\, Cidra is located in the central\, mountainous region of
the island and is home to approximately 40\,000 cidreños. The Honored Sta
teside Community will be the Greater Philadelphia Area\, which is home to
more than 250\,000 Puerto Ricans living in communities across Philadelphia
\, Berks and Lancaster Counties in Pennsylvania\; as well as Camden\, Atla
ntic and Cumberland counties in New Jersey and Wilmington\, Delaware. Othe
r themes\, tributes and individual honorees for the 2022 celebration will

\nEvery December since 2007\, Works & Process has produced sold-out perfor

, described by the New York Times as “a new holiday tradition.” Isaac Mizr
ahi narrates and directs\; Ensemble Signal performs the music\; and a cast
\, wearing costumes by Mizrahi\, performs choreography by John Heginbotham
\, brings the thirty-minute story to life for the young and young at heart
. Looking ahead\, Works & Process has commissioned Third Bird as an homage
to Peter & The Wolf\, with a libretto by Mizrahi and new music by compose
r Nico Muhly. In this bubble residency\, choreographer John Heginbotham\,
will create new choreography for Third Bird. Featuring a flying bluebird\,
a swimming duck\, and a running ostrich\, Third Bird celebrates diversity
and each individual’s unique strengths. Audiences at these performances w

“an exceptional opportunity to understand something of the creative proce
ss\,” for since 1984\, New Yorkers have been able to see\, hear\, and meet
the most acclaimed artists in the world\, in an intimate setting unlike a
ny other. Works & Process\, the performing arts series at the Guggenheim\,
has championed new works and offered audiences unprecedented access to ge
nerations of leading creators and performers. Traditionally\, most perform
ances took place in the Guggenheim’s intimate Frank Lloyd Wright–designed
273-seat Peter B. Lewis Theater. In 2017\, Works & Process established a n
ew residency and commissioning program\, inviting artists to create new wo
rks\, made in and for the iconic Guggenheim rotunda. In 2020\, Works & Pro
cess Artists (WPA) Virtual Commissions was created to financially support
artists and nurture their creative process during the pandemic. To forge a
path for artists to safely gather\, create\, and perform during the pande
mic\, in summer 2020\, Works & Process pioneered and produced a series of
bubble residencies that will continue into 2021. Lead funding for the 2020

ssible by the generous support of the Lincoln Center Board of Directors an
d the Stavros Niarchos Foundation (SNF) as part of the SNF-Lincoln Center
Agora Initiative\, a collaboration that reimagines and reactivates public
space for a new era. As one of New York City’s leading arts institutions a

on this effort as a symbol of its commitment to the city\, and to an equi
table revitalization which elevates all New Yorkers. Restart Stages is a m

in this moment not just to Lincoln Center’s resident companies\, but to th
e performing arts community as a whole—helping get artists back to work an
