Video and podcast show on the creative arts industry in NYC and the forces that effect that sector hosted by Savona Bailey-McClain
Weekly show on the creative arts industry in NYC and the forces that effect that sector hosted by Curator Savona Bailey-McClain heard on multiple platforms.
There is interest in public art right. I wanted to explain what it means. It's not an easy thing to do. There are numerous opportunities for artists to apply across the country. This is mostly three dimensional works -- sculpture, installations, graphic, light-based and more. But it is very competitive and expensive. Some venues or municipalities provide funding. Many artists partner with fabricators to realize their vision but that too requires funds. In essence, it's a process.

Today is the birthday of the late Augusta Savage. She is an inspiration for many women. A true symbol of the Harlem Renaissance. Savage is the inspiration of the Met show currently on display and she is the inspiration behind our exhibition Harlem Sculpture Gardens. God Bless her soul.
I have created nothing really beautiful, really lasting, but if I can inspire one of these youngsters to develop the talent I know they possess, then my monument will be in their work. Augusta Sava…

I am saddened over the death of Chita Rivera. I got to meet her a few years ago. I was thrilled because I met her, Rita Moreno and then Anita DeBose. All three Anitas. I interviewed Rita Moreno for my radio show. I completely lost it. For Chita, it was at a dance event also for the radio show. I got to meet Anita right here in Harlem when they were filming the remake of West Side Story on St. Nicholas Avenue.
God Bless Chita!
New studio and crew!

About CounterPointe Brooklyn, NY—Norte Maar in collaboration with Brooklyn Ballet presents CounterPointe, the annual curated performance series featuring women choreographers making new work on pointe. Series will run three nights at The Mark O'Donnell Theater at the Actors Fund Arts Center (160 Schermerhorn Street, Brooklyn, NY).
CounterPointe is an annual performance series dedicated to presenting the latest experimental, innovative, risk-taking choreography that shows a depth of investment in ballet by women dance makers working with the pointe shoe. Investigating new and old territory the series highlights new work, opening up discussion, and creating a forum for women, young or old, emerging or established, to take risks. Since 2016 Norte Maar has paired choreographers with visual artists, presenting their new collaborations at CounterPointe.
Dance and art luminaries who have moderated a panel discussion following Saturday's CounterPointe have included Guerrilla Girl Frida Kahlo, Karole Armitage, Ashley Bouder, Sharon Butler, Antonia Franceschi, Claudia Jeschke, Kat Wildish, Gabrielle Lamb/Pigeon Wing Dance, Lynn Parkerson/Brooklyn Ballet, and Kathryn Posin. In 2018 award-winning artist and writer Sharon Butler led the discussion. Stay tuned to find out who will lead a talk back with choreographers and their collaborating artists following the Saturday February 29 performance of CounterPointe.
The series made its inaugural presentation in Brooklyn at the Actors Fund Arts Center in 2012. In June 2013, the series made its London debut at the Broadway in Barking.
I remember one of my first ideas in these early punk pointe pieces was to think of pointe shoes as weapons. – Karole Armitage, 2013 CounterPointe Panelist
I think what you are doing is fantastic for the continuation of the exploration of choreography on pointe. – Susan Jaffe 2012 CounterPointe guest choreographer
