Authentic Movement is an expressive improvisational movement practice that allows a group of participants a type of free association of the body.  It’s a seemingly simple form of self-directed movement, usually done with eyes closed and attention directed inward, in the presence of at least one witness. Movers explore spontaneous gestures, movements, and stillness, following inner impulses in the present moment.

Brendan Drake: Ghost Porn

Two week run!

February 5th-12th, 2025
first week: four shows, wed through sat
second week: two shows, fri+sat
Wednesdays and Thursdays at 7:30
Fridays and Saturdays at 8:00

TICKETS

Performed by Matthew Bovee, Brendan Drake, Ollie Iturrieta, Nikkie Samreth, Marcus Serjeant, and Nattie Trogdon
Video Installation by Ian Lewandowski
Technical Direction by Darrin Wright
Props and Headpieces by Brendan Drake

A Disco Ball descends from the sky as two F-words with a pension for trauma bonding and poppers welcome you to their cubbyhole of ghoulish apparitions, smut, and divine brutishness. Inspired by horror cinema and cruising culture, Ghost Porn incorporates dance, magical realism, and sound manipulation to complicate notions of sexual curiosity, agency, and casual hedonism. An inverted realm is conjured, where form and meaning give way to a visceral palate of noise, rhythm, and ecstatic dancing that wavers between gogo dancing and an exorcism. Ghost Porn is a love letter to the dark (room); an exploration of desire at its most translucent and opaque. This evening-length work features video design by Ian Lewandowski, and original text, sound score, and choreography by Drake in collaboration with performers Matthew Bovee, Ollie Iturrieta, Nikkie Samreth, Marcus Serjeant, and Nattie Trogdon.

Show contains nudity, sexual content and loud noise, 18 years or older to attend.

Brendan Drake (all pronouns) is an interdisciplinary artist, performer, and currently, the Visiting Assistant Professor of Dance at The Corcoran School of Arts and Design at George Washington University. Their work uses disparate movement forms, erotic imagery, text, and sound manipulation to interrogate issues surrounding gender, vanity, and queer power dynamics. Brendan was a 2017-2018 Fresh Tracks Artist at New York Live Arts and has been awarded grants and residencies through the Brooklyn Arts Fund, Foundation for Contemporary Arts, CUNY Dance Initiative, Brooklyn Studios for Dance, Monira Foundation, The Tank, and Chez Bushwick. Their recent work has been presented at Danspace Project (Draftwork), Movement Research, The Brick, La MaMa, PAGEANT, Joes Pub, The Wild Project, AUNTS, Brooklyn Studios for Dance, JrHigh (Los Angeles, CA), Fowler Museum (Los Angeles, CA) and The Dance Complex (Boston, MA). In addition to their work for the stage, Brendan choreographed the fall 2014 “Equality = Love'' campaign for Adidas Originals/Pharrell Williams. They were the movement coordinator for editorial shoots with Vogue, Porter, V, and Elle Magazines (photographers: Liz Collins, Ryan McGinley, Collier Schorr). From 2022-2023, they were the director of UCLA’s “Sex Squad,” working collaboratively with undergraduates and LA County High School students to devise performances centering on issues of sexual health, consent, identity, and pleasure. In May 2023, they presented their graduate research on tracking queer sociality in contemporary dance and performance at the UCLA National Queer Graduate Conference. They have guest taught at UCLA, Columbia University, the University of Massachusetts, Muhlenberg College, DeSales University, Ball State University, Skewl, Peridance, SCDT, Loculus, and the New York Film Academy. As a dancer and performer, They currently work with Nattie + Hollis, and Kayla Hamilton/Circle O.

Workshop with Julie Mayo: Solo Signal
Feb

Workshop with Julie Mayo: Solo Signal

Our time together will be for nurturing our own “voices” and following our own signals, in a group, alongside one another. We’ll “begin anywhere” with a collective warm-up. Anyone who wants to offer a way to begin can share an activity: moving, drawing, sounding, reading, calling your aunt (I did that once to begin), laying on the floor (who HAS NOT done that?), whatever we feel like on this day.

I’ll guide us through some perceptual and tactile practices that support leaning into personal peculiarities, itches, imaginations, and impressions, and we’ll work on a solo practice (score, choreography, scenario) as we share the room together. We’ll perform the practices we generate.

**Recognizing our unambiguous connections to one another lays the groundwork for our adventurousness, our taking risk, in our solo practices. We’ll keep an eye towards generosity as performers and make room for discussing this, and whatever else we want.

Julie Mayo is a New York-based choreographer who makes dances that foreground body level communication that is simultaneously intelligible and inexplicable and hinges on the inseparability of the comic and the tragic, the ordinary and the remarkable, and the individual and the collective. For Julie, choreography is a medium disposed toward felt experience, embodied paradox, and getting in to get out to get down. It is an opportunity for performer and audience to consider ourselves, intimately, unnameable. Her work has been presented in New York at JACK, Gibney Dance, The Chocolate Factory Theater, The Kitchen (Dance and Process), Movement Research at the Judson Church, Dixon Place, Center for Performance Research, Danspace (Draftwork), Brooklyn Studios for Dance, Target Margin Theater, New York Live Arts (Fresh Tracks), and The Elizabeth Harris Gallery alongside the work of visual artist James Biederman. Nationally, her work has been presented at Highways Performance Space (Los Angeles), NOHspace and Dance Mission (San Francisco), Links Hall (Chicago), Columbus Dance Theater (Columbus, OH), fidgetspace (Philadelphia), and in several venues in Richmond, Virginia, where she’s from originally. Recently she performed in Deborah Hay's work as part of the Trio Commissioning Project and was a mentor through the NYS Choreographer's Initiative.

Julie’s work has been supported in NYC by a 2023 LiftOff Residency, 2020-2021 Gibney DiP (Dance in Process) artist residency, as well as artist residencies at Movement Research (2017-2019), Snug Harbor’s PASS Program (2019) and the Center for Performance Research (2018). She is a recipient of a Foundation for Contemporary Arts Emergency Grant as well as a grant from Virginia Commission for the Arts. She has been awarded residencies at UCross Foundation, Djerassi, Yaddo, Mount Tremper Arts, Snug Harbor, and Virginia Center for Creative Arts.

Julie teaches at Movement Research (NYC), from time to time at Kestrels, as well as her own and other platforms. She has been a guest choreographer at university and community-focused programs, and has been commissioned by independent choreographer / performers to mentor their work.

Workshop with Molly Poerstel: All of Us
Feb
22

Workshop with Molly Poerstel: All of Us

Come join Kestrels for All of us, a creative workshop for freelance dancers facilitated by Molly Poerstel to celebrate the magick of our craft through the fulcrum of the contemporary dancer as somatic archivist. Through experimentation, improvisation, and writing, we will explore the inner topography of our past memories, lineages, and rebellions through experimentation and somatic intellect, and stay watchful for how these threads show up in our dancing.

All of us will be broken up into two sections: the first two hours will compose of improvisation of the voice and body, as well as somatic writing while the last two hours will be centered around an individual creative practice. What develops could be a spell, a prayer, a manifesto, a poem or a dance which honors the heft, wisdom, and trajectories which swirl within our bodies. 

All of us aims to create a bodily incantation to cull our somatic recollections while also dreaming up new sustainable paradigms for our bodies to interact with emerging choreographic idioms.

Cost: $50

"“Heat” is an electrifying dance performance..." PURPLE MAGAZINE

From Anna:
Heat is about the deep love and envy I have for the dancers I spend my life with in the studio. The obsession that always mixes with jealousy; a competition turned sensual and fluid. Studying each other's bodies closely; memorizing every groove of her foot, knowing exactly how she will strike her jump, how she will prep her turn, watching her for hours on end; staring, touching, feeling. Wishing to be her; wanting to be better than her. The deep intimacy that is knowing your dance partner's rhythms, instincts, smells. I've spent my whole life in a dance studio doing this and will continue to do so for the rest of my living days.

No Furniture: Suite For a Loft Theater by Lavinia Eloise Bruce

Featuring Time Wharp performing the album "Spiro World" live, as well as dancers Arzu Salman, Cullan Powers, Ella Dawn W-S, and Julia Antinozzi.

No Furniture originally premiered October 2023 in a loft apartment in South Street Seaport, yielding praise from peers and critics alike and inciting a joyful afterparty on its closing night. This year, choreographer Lavinia Eloise Bruce is adapting the work to fill the larger space of Kestrels. This process of adaptation entails a more rigorous & expansive approach to the movement material, an even deeper collaboration with Time Wharp (aka Kaye Loggins), and perhaps even the addition of a new section—stay tuned ;)

“No Furniture: Suite for a Loft Apartment,” by Lavinia Eloise Bruce. Formal and ferocious…deserves another run.” -Gia Kourlas, New York Times. And Hear it is!

Wednesday, Thursday and Friday: November 20th, 21st, and 22nd,
All shows at 8pm.

Come for a drink before the show and stay for one after! House opens 30 minutes before show-time.

Amanda Hameline: PARTY DISH

PARTY DISH. Want to throw a party but short on time? Linguini with clam sauce is the dish for you! Amanda makes this Italian classic available for any weeknight celebration by falling back on canned clams and a good attitude. Not eating carbs anymore? Don't worry about it! The dish is very fragrant so you can just smell it. Wondering about the connection between tinned fish and 19th century military history? You've come to the right place! Just sit back and relax. 

Party Dish is a solo performance that mourns, ridicules and celebrates the joys, necessity and pain of consumption. It's a rambling lecture given by an unstable dinner host. It's a party. 

Choreographed, written and performed by Amanda Hameline
Projection Design by Jace Weyant

November 14th+15th, 7:30

to Nov 8

Beth Graczyk: Unstable States: Shell(ter) works-in-progress sharing

Unstable States: Shell(ter) works-in-progress sharing

Join us for an evening of in-process sharing of a new dance-theater work, featuring sculptures made from bio-based materials.

This is a slow, evolving process, built on shifting states—unstable and under continual experimentation. In this moment, Rachel Sigrid Freeburg, Beth Graczyk, and Leah Wilks navigate the dynamics of autonomy and togetherness in performance. They calibrate to states of heightened attention, engaging with bio-based materials in unusual phases of transformation. What does it mean to attempt to prolong the life of things on the verge of decay—pressing into matter and feeling its resistance? How does a visceral exchange with forgotten or discarded materials, like eggshells—a potent symbol of transformation—prompt reflection on origins and unfolding journeys, where body and material might converge and evoke their own cycles of disintegration and renewal?

Directed by Beth Graczyk
Sound by Aaron Gabriel
Performed by Rachel Sigrid Freeburg, Beth Graczyk & Leah Wilks

Ariel Lembeck: TRYHARD
Oct

to Oct 20

Ariel Lembeck: TRYHARD

TRYHARD is a new evening-length work by Ariel Lembeck. It is a dance drenched in sound and light. It collages the body into images and makes space for obsession to come through. It is a practice in exposing a forbidden sense of self and allowing it to grow inside the room. It is about becoming and letting go and the endless search for who we are and what we want to be.

Choreographed and Performed by: Ariel Lembeck
Sound Design by: Angel Zinovieff 
Lighting Design by: Cameron Barnett

Premiering Friday and Saturday October 18th + 19th at 7:30pm and Sunday October 20th at 5pm.

WOMEN IN MOTION present: SYMARA SARAI I want it to rain inside

Wednesday July 24th

7:30pm

TICKETS

From the artist: "I want it to rain inside" is an exploration of the complexities of black queer femininity and the magic of its vulnerability, with this solo I continue to investigate the nexus between the parallels of black queer imagination and anarchy.  You will see the space transformed into a topia of my choosings, an invitation into a practice of authentic autonomy.  I transform perceptions of failures into successes and invite present negotiations as a way to engage with infinite possibilities.

Full Moon Breathwork with Jo Warren

Full Moon Breathwork with Jo Warren

July 21st is a Full Moon in Capricorn - it's also known as the "Buck Moon" and is considered a time of growth, renewal and regeneration, as bucks shed their antlers each year and start the process of growing new ones.

In-person Breathwork adds a whole new layer of collective experience and can be incredibly potent and powerful for moving through stuck patterns that feel hard to navigate on your own. We can feed off the energy of the group to move things we can't always move alone! Not to mention Kestrels is a beautiful space and feels like a perfect container to hold this work.

Come breathe, shed, grieve, pray, rage, fortify, reignite, integrate, dream, hope, thaw, share in community and find new access points to love, to resistance and to action.

Full details:

July 21st 6pm-8pm

- This session will take place in-person at Kestrels in Gowanus. Full address will be sent once payment is received

- Sliding scale $30-60*

              * free for Palestinian/Black/Indigenous folks and anyone who identifies as a QTBIPOC

              *You can use this helpful tool to determine where you land on the scale. -

- I ask that participants take a rapid test the day of the workshop in order to keep each other safe!

State of Making

Choreographic Workshop led by Juliana May
July 15-19
Monday-Friday 
10am-3pm
$200
please email jfmdances@gmail.com 

In this week intensive the conversation is the score and each person is empowered to let the flow of ideas and problems work themselves through the dancing itself. I tell people to work faster, keep reaching, and keep working to stay as close as possible. Dancing is the frame and symbol of the process and we keep doing it to stay as involved as possible.  Struggle is a vibrant part of any process in the willful strangling of ideas and structures and the thrust of interpersonal shit....but there are also just fast momentary choices and all of a sudden you are on the other end and you can always cut it. We are learning to stand up more firmly in the choice and just as easily let it go. Perfect is not just the enemy of the good but it is also the enemy of flow and failure and embarrassment.  www.maydance.org

Now and Then: Mariana and Katie

to May 19

Now and Then: Mariana and Katie

Mariana and Katie share an evening of reimagined solos.

AND WE ARE: having met in 2013-ish as Chez Bushwick AIRS. Little did we know then that we were simultaneously beginning new ways to make work and honor the dances that lived inside our bodies.  And now we are here, turned around so much that we found each other 10 years down the road. We have deepened and returned to our dances in ways that fit who we are now.  We have our stories to tell and these bodies to move.  AND THIS IS: Mariana reinterprets a dance that she made a decade ago. She upholds the improvisatory and lyrical qualities of the work, two essential elements of her research since. Within her current—older yet newer—body, she’s chasing after the remnants of something that’s aged well over time. MEANWHILE: Katie re-works a solo made in 2022 newly titled We Must Take the Canoe.  This piece marked a return to set work after a 10 year departure into Authentic Movement and improvisational forms. She wades deep into historical fantastical scenarios, American myths of pioneering and conquest, personal and imagined anecdotes to construct a self.

Saturday and Sunday May 18+19, 5PM

Monster Mourning

Dance Theater by Weena Pauly and Katie Workum, with live music by Annie Hart

Weena and Katie traverse the long tethers of time through shaken-up fantasy worlds, characters built from their lacking and over-ing, and through the filtered groundwater of their kinship of the last 25 years. They concoct forgotten tales of vaguely euro-lineages and fables into a disjointed present. They navigate connection steeped in inherited competitions and codes of femaleness, while time traveling their own ages and bodies through their love language of hair-braiding and awkward clog dancing. Monster Mourning includes live music by the multi talented musician and composer Annie Hart.
