Autobiography V100 + V101 by Company Wayne McGregor
Saturday, October 5, 2024 at 5pm and Sunday, October 6, 2024 at 2pm
Cost: $40, $50 premium
Mountain Stage, Kaatsbaan, Tivoli
Autobiography is dance in the ballet lineage merged with choreographer Wayne McGregor's genetic code and AI. The work consists of 23 sections of movement material that reflect the 23 pairs of chromosomes of the human genome. The sections are then fed into an algorithm based on McGregor's DNA data, which randomly selects sections to create a new version of the work each time it's presented. Through the layering of choreographic imprints over personal data, McGregor has upended the traditional nature of dance-making to create a convergence of creative authorship. Autobiography is performed by a cast of 9 dancers and set to an original score by Jlin. https://kaatsbaan.org/performances-festivals.

On view through October 13, 2024
Cost: Free
41 South 3rd Street, #2L, Hudson
Bibiana Huang Matheis and Mimi Czajka Graminski return to Window On Hudson to share their years-long remote collaboration: Bibi-Mimi Monday Memo. “Hudson Memo” gives us the opportunity to both take a peek into their archive from hundreds of hours of collaboration and to view new work which they have created specifically for the windows. How does Bibi-Mimi Monday Memo work? Once a week, during the same hour of the day, each artist works in their separate studio with the intention of tuning into the same creative channel. They do not speak or make any kind of plans beforehand, but at the end of each session they compare notes on their inspiration, their state of mind and the work produced. They have found, over the course of the project, that not only are there connections in the work produced but also in their emotions, recent experiences and in odd little coincidences surrounding the sessions. http://www.windowonhudson.org/
