Reconstructing Mayakovsky: a novel of...
http://www.reconstructingmayaovsky.com
The site employs a Futurist/Dada aesthetic that privileges “found” media objects, readymade open source code and thought experiments over technological wizardry. As readers discover Mayakovsky’s page-turning biography (prison at age 15, a lifelong affair with his editor’s wife, fame, revolution, suicide, and posthumous resurrection by Joseph Stalin), they also explore their own fears and fantasies about the uncertain future.
Dance, Dance, Revolution

Engaging in a practice of permissive exploration, we strove to develop various formats for critical exchange that are both intellectually rigorous and playful. This intuitive and open generation of ideas, coupled with the speed and intensity necessitated by a limited creation period, propelled us towards an approach of decentralization. Not only did we as a Curation/Production group conceptualize and develop events, we also invited other artists to engage in the shaping of the festival. As a group we have nurtured a spirit of irreverence, and encouraged omni-directional experimentation throughout the festival’s framework. We offer a skeleton, a potentiality. We are excited to see where and how it will meet you. With love, Rebecca Brooks, Beth Gill, Erika Hand and Isabel Lewis. Neal Beasley was a member of the Trisha Brown Dance Company from 2003-2007. He is a graduate of Idyllwild Arts Academy and holds a BFA in dance from NYU/Tisch School of the Arts. In his newfound freelance life, he is currently scheduled to work with choreographers Beth Gill, Eleanor Bauer, and Larry Keigwin. He has taught technique and repertory internationally for TBDC, as well as in the New York studios. He directed rehearsals for Ms. Brown's creation for the Paris Opera Ballet, both in its 2004 debut and the revival earlier this year.
