Between Thought and Sound: Graphic Notation in Contemporary Music
Between Thought and Sound:
Graphic Notation In Contemporary Music
Now through October 20, 2007
FREE
Exploring the intersection of drawing and sound, this show
includes experimental scores by more than thirty composers
who have relinquished traditional musical notation in favor
of their own invented visual systems employing graphic or
pictorial elements. Their musical compositions take the
form of abstract drawings, videos, and digital renderings
filled with complex pictograms, evocative mark-making,
gestural symbols, and intricate codes of numbers, letters,
and color. These highly personal vocabularies are the
catalysts for a social process of translation and
open-ended interpretation between composer and performer.
The artists included in the exhibition are Laura Andel,
Robert Ashley, James Beckett, David Behrman, Cathy
Berberian, Earle Brown, Cornelius Cardew, Tony Conrad, John
Driscoll, Morton Feldman, Jon Gibson, Tom Johnson, Alison
Knowles, Joan La Barbara, Annea Lockwood, Alvin Lucier,
Miya Masaoka, Kaffe Matthews, Meredith Monk, Gordon Mumma,
Anthony Jay Ptak, Steve Roden, Marina Rosenfeld, James
Saunders, Michael J. Schumacher, Elliott Sharp, Wadada Leo
Smith, Yasunao Tone, David Tudor, Stephen Vitiello, and
Christian Wolff.
This exhibition is sponsored by Altria Group, Inc.
Additional support was provided by the American Center
Foundation, The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts,
Thea Westreich and Ethan Wagner, and the Fifth Floor
Foundation. Music programs at The Kitchen are made possible
with generous support from the Mary Flagler Cary Charitable
Trust, the Aaron Copland Fund for Music, The New York State
Music Fund, and with public funds from the New York State
Council on the Arts, a state agency.

Marcus Garvey Park/Attempting to Silence the Drums of Harlem
A message from Rebecca Scott: Marcus Garvey Park /Attempting to Silence the Drums in Harlem
Here's an update on this situation:
Boro Comm. Castro had a second meeting with the Marcus Garvey Park drummers on Friday,July 13 at 5pm at Marcus Garvey Park, along with the Marcus Garvey Park Alliance.At this meeting, Comm. Castro and Mr. Green, a contact person for the drummers, along with other drummers, announced that they picked a site within the park to be designated a drumming site. Comm.Castro said that benches would be installed in the site (near theacropolis andthe amphitheater) today, Saturday July 14. This is now an officially sanctioned area for drumming, like the drumming circle in CentralPark. Drummers have the right to drum there on their regular day and time and can't be removed. If there is a program at the amphitheater,the drummers can also move location. Park EnforcementPatrol havebeen instructed to monitor the area only to protect thedrummers, notto remove them.
If you have more questions about this, from the drummers' perspective, I can give you a few contacts for thedrummers. Feelfree to email me for that contact information.

The officers responded that the residents at 2005 5th Ave (across the street) had complained that the drumming was too loud. The drummers said "We will continue until 9pm".
The policemen then called for reinforcement, when a carwith a barofficer came , the drummers spokesperson continued along the lines oftheir right to drum, "it's our culture fromAfrica and the Caribbean" One women drummer said about the white residents. "They have forced Black people out of Harlem to move here, they knew thatwe drum here every week, if they don't want to hear the drumming they should move"
Still another police car came, this time with lights, andabout nine policemen. With the drummers, women, children and menaround eightypeople, the drummers resisted their position and continuedto drum,while an assigned spokesperson talked to police offers.
Across the street at Fifth Ave condo (124) the four white residents watched while the struggle continued. The drummers, dancersand crowdtook out their cellphones and video cameras recording.

ATSHUSHI TAKENOUCHI
Biography
Atsushi Takenouchi joined Butoh dance company"Hoppo-Butoh-ha" in Hokkaido in 1980. His last performancewith the company "Takazashiki" (1984) was worked on byButoh-founderTatsumi Hijikata. He has been working on his own Jinen Butoh since 1986 andcreated solos "Tanagokoro", "Ginkan", "ltteki" as a universal expression of nature, earth and ancient times and his impression of themoment, formulated from the people around him, and the environment. Atsushi has danced at sights such as the Killing Fields in Cambodia, Kobe earthquake,Auschwitz-Birkenau, sacred temples around the world, thousands of year old trees, and desolate environments in Asia, Brazil , Eastern Europe.Atsushi has been touring Japan, Asia and Europe extensively in the lastdecades. Since 2002 he has taught wilderness dance workshops in the US , and collaborated with dancersand actors in Europe and the United States. He currently lives in Paris.
Dancing Life
"Dance is devotion of life." I learned this while mytraveling nature fields called JINEN. This means I should dance to "my life," to the moment, and to now which lasts forever. I feel we have forgottenmemories of days when we lived connected with nature's gift (such as water, wind, grass, trees, and animals). A long time ago we danced, forgetting day andnight. We forgot ourselves, and became just as one life with the earth? What about now? We've been choreographed to fit into given pattern.
Improvisation "It's a dance without choreography. You dance as you feel,sharpening your senses, with conviction. You can't improvise unless you can enjoy what you are doing and act alive. Sometimes we may looklike two dragons, or two jellyfish talking with each other, the moon and the sun, or two dancing cranes in love. We all have the blood of anative and spiritual dancer."

A message from Brandee Williams Lara: Perfect Tap Floor? Need Your Advice!
Greetings Tap Experts, Studio Owners, et al:HELP!
As you may know, I teach tap at wonderful, fabulous ChapmanUniversity in Orange, CA.
We have a fairly new dance building, with a room dedicatedto tap anddance forms not in need of a marly surface.When the building was brand new, the floor was workable. In my opinion, it was always too "fast." I noticed that dancers'postureschanged in order to compensate for the feeling of losing control.Increasingly, dancers have slipped and/or fallen, and, frankly, there are some things requiring quick weight or directional changes that we just don't do anymore. (Even one of the modern teachers,who sometimes uses the room, said he noticed the same posturalphenomenon.)
Last year, the floor got worse when the maintenence crew apparently resurfaced/waxed it when they went in to repair somedivots. They made it "all shiny and pretty" to be sure! Now, it is virtually an ice rinkin some places, and to make matters worse, it is uneven;that is,slower in some areas to really fast in others; makingsliding a"trip," if you know what I mean!! ;o)Well, our fantabulous department chair is always there toplease, andwants to know, once and for all, what I would tell to our facilities team to make it right. They will do pretty much anything,except replace it. (I believe the floor is maple, though I'm notpositive. Itis a properly "sprung floor," with an apparent cost of$10,000 when itwas installed)
So, experts: what would you advise??? What would you dowith this beautiful wood dance floor to make its surface right for tap??? Do youknow of a perfect finishing product??? Is there anything we should avoid???
THANK YOU very much for your advice!!

THE DANCER WITHIN by Rose Eichenbaum
“The impulse to move comes from the spirit.” — Ben Vereen
Where does the urge to dance come from? How does one cope with the
highs and lows of the artist’s life? What are the choreographer and
dancer’s responsibilities to each other, to the audience, to the self?
These are just a few of the questions that dancer-turned-photographer
Rose Eichenbaum posed, with camera in hand, to America’s most
celebrated dancers and choreographers.
The Dancer Within pairs Eichenbaum’s striking color action photos and
black-and-white portraits with excerpts from her conversations with
ballet icons, Broadway stars, modern dance luminaries, Hollywood
legends, and prominent choreographers. Eichenbaum captures the
character and vitality of Debbie Allen, Jacques D’Amboise, José Greco,
Judith Jamison, Bill T. Jones, Mark Morris, Anna Sokolow, Ethan
Stiefel, Russ Tamblyn, Tommy Tune, and some 30 other dance
professionals while eliciting candid reflections on their lives and
careers. Eichenbaum is author of Masters of Movement: Portraits of
America’s Great Choreographers (Smithsonian Books, 2004).
Mr. Wiggles is a featured artist in this exhibit... don't miss it!

many dancers are there in NYC? How many companies? How big is the

to these questions and many more will be answered in the census. Be
there when key findings are presented and hear from Commissioner of
Cultural Affairs, Kate Levin; Artistic Director and choreographer Gina
Gibney; Dance/NYC's own Michelle Burkart and Bob Yesselman. We look

From the M.A.D.D. Rhythms, Inc. Newsletter
Everything you need to know about
us and what we are up to
Well, they say the third time is a charm. I hope they're right! I tried
to get a newsletter out last month, but I didn't quite make it. In the
picture on the left is Yoshie and me. Yoshie is a dedicated tap student
with discipline that we could all learn from. This picture was taken at
last summers' smash hit "Imagine Tap". In my opinion this show marked
the official rebirth of TAP. It is my sincere hope, that this show gets
a chance to be seen by the world. Secondly, I'd like to let everyone
know that M.A.D.D. Rhythms will be holding a 2 week Tap Boot Camp from
July 9-20. This Tap Boot Camp will be 4 hours a day, 5 days a week and
will be total submersion into the world of "The Dance". More details
will follow soon, but if you want to get a jump on registration, let me
know and I can put you or your child's name on the list.
And as always, the weekly newsletter may not always be weekly but it
will contain everything I want to share about M.A.D.D. Rhythms, The Tap
Academy, Tappin' @ The Shore: The Basement Jam, The Wreckshop Training
Crew and The Chicago Tap Summit! I hope you enjoy.
P.S. I have officially started M.A.D.D. Rhythms G.I. For those who
don't know G.I. stands for Gary, Indiana. Look for more on the newest
addition to the M.A.D.D. Rhythms family in the next issue!

Tap Into A Cure
Bril Barrett invited to teach and perform at Canada's newest tap
festival. Tap Into A Cure is also a tap festival with a Purpose! August
15 - 19, 2007
Hello Tap dancers, it is hard to believe that 8
months ago we held our first Tap Into A Cure Workshop, and it was a
roaring success. We donated $8000 to the Stollery Children's Hospital.
This year we are going to help the inner city children with our
donation to the Edmonton School's Lunch Program where they feed
children everyday with a nutritional meal that they would otherwise go
without, even during the summer months. We have added an extra day of
classes, from your requests, and added a participants showcase. There
will be a tap jam, panel discussion and with our special guest
Harold "Stumpy" Cromer, you never know what could happen. Spending
time with Harold and hearing his many wonderful stories is
intoxicating, he is living history, and we are honoured to share him
with you. You will have a chance to perform a piece choreographed by
Harold in "Hoofin' for Hunger", if you attend his rep classes. Robert
Reed, Josh Hilberman, Bril Barrett, Lance Liles, Danny Nielsen, Logan
Miller and Andrew Merrigan will join Mr. Cromer on the faculty.
Make your tap weekend an Alberta holiday, Edmonton is home to the
world's largest shopping mall, West Edmonton Mall. Edmonton is known as
Festival City, so there will always be something different to do every
week of the summer. We are a scenic drive away from the glorious Rocky
Mountains, Alberta is home to Drumheller, one of the world's best
dinosaur exhibits at the Royal Tyrell Museum. Calgary, our other
beautiful city, is 3 hours away and Banff and Jasper are two of the
most breath taking towns on the planet. A tour of Fort McMurray and the
oil sands plant is, too, a short drive away. Alberta is an adventure
waiting to happen and you now can include a great tap weekend in your
summer vacation. And remember our Canadian dollar is a bargain on the
world market. Moms could do some back to school shopping very cheaply
while your tapper gets a workout.
For those of you who haven't had a tap class, please join us at
"Hoofin' for Hunger" the finale show and silent auction at Festival
Place in Sherwood Park. I guarantee you will not be disappointed, so
come out to the show on August 19, 2007 at 7 pm and prepare to be
mesmerized by the talent you will see. There may even be a few surprise
guests!
So come join us and share the weekend with amazing Tap Masters and
faculty, who all want to share their styles, secrets and talent with
all of you.
phone 780 722 9562
Hope to see you in Alberta in August for Tap Into A Cure. Please pass
this email to all tappers you know, no one should miss this great
workshop. Thanks Andrew Merrigan

United Way and Silent Fire Productions together at Leaders
Conference
Contact: Matina Banks
Phone: (571) 278-8174
Email: silentfireproductions@yahoo.com
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
UNITED WAY OF AMERICA AND THE ARTS TOGETHER
(Pittsburgh, PA)—Tuesday, May 15th, the United Way of
America Staff Leaders Conference will begin in
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. For the first time ever,
United Way has opened up their conference to all staff
across the United States allowing for a different,
much younger dynamic (most attendees will be between
20 and 40 years old) at the conference.
To meet the needs of this new dynamic, the national
office conceptualized a multimedia performance which
is set to run halfway through the conference, on
Wednesday. Developed through the creative partnership
of L&M Productions of Alexandria, VA. and Silent Fire
Productions of New York City, this performance
includes not only dancing (provided by Silent Fire
Production’s New York based dance company) but music,
video and a voiceover (provided by L&M Productions).
“It’s a lot going on at once,” said Matina Banks,
choreographer for the project and Artistic Director of
Silent Fire Productions. “The challenge was to
incorporate the dancing into all the media being used
without the dancer being lost on stage and
overwhelming the audience with information.”
Three testimonials of personal experiences with
services provided by the United Way of America
correspond to the dance, music and video that make up
the performance. The performance is geared towards
captivating, exciting and motivating the audience
while sharing the story of how United Way fulfills its
mission to help people find answers to their problems.
United Way of America is one of many companies and
corporations who are looking for innovative ways to
inspire and educate employees during conventions and
national meetings. Todd Shanks, one of the dancers
for the performance has done two other performances
similar to this, one for Volvo, and the other for
Ford. “I like doing performances like these because
the people are excited to be there,” Shanks says.
“Because the audience is made up of employees from
United Way, they already know why they are there, they
know what they need. It’s different then performing
at a concert where you are not really sure how the
audience is going to react. In this situation they
are focused and inspired and we, as dancers, expanding
on that by giving them a visual representation of
that.”
The three day conference will be held at Pittsburgh’s
Convention Center, beginning Tuesday, May 15th and
ending Thursday, May 16th.

A message from Rashida:
Hi friends and colleagues,
I am extending this invitation for my curatorial debut @ The Kitchen

Pheeroan akLaff is an amazing and visionary drummer. You may be
familiar with his work with Amiri Baraka and Cecil Taylor,
among others. LaTasha N. Nevada Diggs, whom I've known as
writer/cultural critic is an equally amazing performer combining
vocals, verse and video with live and electronic music. These should
be great evenings here in June!

Curated by Rashida Bumbray
Brooklyn-based, free-bop jazz drummer and composer Pheeroan akLaff’s
performances conjoin melodic patterns, rhythmic patterns, counterpoint,
chordal voicings, and solo and group improvisation with the intent to
arrive at a liberating place—be it harmonious or cacophonous. akLaff
presents new compositions exploring international grooves and
sensibilities for a quintet composed of himself, bassist Francis
Mbappé, pianist Michael Cain, vocalists Kamillah akLaff and Amon Bey.
The evenings open with a performance by LaTasha N. Nevada Diggs, a
writer, vocalist, and Harlem denizen whose work rigorously explores
sound through a myriad of verse, language, and electronic vocal
processing. This work-in-progress, Excerpts from Fraud & Coda, features
Diggs (vocals, text, electronics, visuals), Daniel Marcellus Givens,
and Guillermo E. Brown, (electronics and vocals).
Music programs at The Kitchen are made possible with generous support
from the Mary Flagler Cary Charitable Trust, the Aaron Copland Fund for

THE DANCER WITHIN by Rose Eichenbaum
“The impulse to move comes from the spirit.” — Ben Vereen
Where does the urge to dance come from? How does one cope with the
highs and lows of the artist’s life? What are the choreographer and
dancer’s responsibilities to each other, to the audience, to the self?
These are just a few of the questions that dancer-turned-photographer
Rose Eichenbaum posed, with camera in hand, to America’s most
celebrated dancers and choreographers.
The Dancer Within pairs Eichenbaum’s striking color action photos and
black-and-white portraits with excerpts from her conversations with
ballet icons, Broadway stars, modern dance luminaries, Hollywood
legends, and prominent choreographers. Eichenbaum captures the
character and vitality of Debbie Allen, Jacques D’Amboise, José Greco,
Judith Jamison, Bill T. Jones, Mark Morris, Anna Sokolow, Ethan
Stiefel, Russ Tamblyn, Tommy Tune, and some 30 other dance
professionals while eliciting candid reflections on their lives and
careers. Eichenbaum is author of Masters of Movement: Portraits of
America’s Great Choreographers (Smithsonian Books, 2004).
Mr. Wiggles is a featured artist in this exhibit... don't miss it!

Cultural Affairs, Kate Levin; Artistic Director and choreographer Gina

From the M.A.D.D. Rhythms, Inc. Newsletter
Everything you need to know about
us and what we are up to
Well, they say the third time is a charm. I hope they're right! I tried
to get a newsletter out last month, but I didn't quite make it. In the
picture on the left is Yoshie and me. Yoshie is a dedicated tap student
with discipline that we could all learn from. This picture was taken at
last summers' smash hit "Imagine Tap". In my opinion this show marked
the official rebirth of TAP. It is my sincere hope, that this show gets
a chance to be seen by the world. Secondly, I'd like to let everyone
know that M.A.D.D. Rhythms will be holding a 2 week Tap Boot Camp from
July 9-20. This Tap Boot Camp will be 4 hours a day, 5 days a week and
will be total submersion into the world of "The Dance". More details
will follow soon, but if you want to get a jump on registration, let me
know and I can put you or your child's name on the list.
And as always, the weekly newsletter may not always be weekly but it
will contain everything I want to share about M.A.D.D. Rhythms, The Tap
Academy, Tappin' @ The Shore: The Basement Jam, The Wreckshop Training
Crew and The Chicago Tap Summit! I hope you enjoy.
P.S. I have officially started M.A.D.D. Rhythms G.I. For those who
don't know G.I. stands for Gary, Indiana. Look for more on the newest
addition to the M.A.D.D. Rhythms family in the next issue!

Tap Into A Cure
Bril Barrett invited to teach and perform at Canada's newest tap
festival. Tap Into A Cure is also a tap festival with a Purpose! August
15 - 19, 2007
Hello Tap dancers, it is hard to believe that 8
months ago we held our first Tap Into A Cure Workshop, and it was a
roaring success. We donated $8000 to the Stollery Children's Hospital.
This year we are going to help the inner city children with our
donation to the Edmonton School's Lunch Program where they feed
children everyday with a nutritional meal that they would otherwise go
without, even during the summer months. We have added an extra day of
classes, from your requests, and added a participants showcase. There
will be a tap jam, panel discussion and with our special guest
Harold "Stumpy" Cromer, you never know what could happen. Spending
time with Harold and hearing his many wonderful stories is
intoxicating, he is living history, and we are honoured to share him
with you. You will have a chance to perform a piece choreographed by
Harold in "Hoofin' for Hunger", if you attend his rep classes. Robert
Reed, Josh Hilberman, Bril Barrett, Lance Liles, Danny Nielsen, Logan
Miller and Andrew Merrigan will join Mr. Cromer on the faculty.
Make your tap weekend an Alberta holiday, Edmonton is home to the
world's largest shopping mall, West Edmonton Mall. Edmonton is known as
Festival City, so there will always be something different to do every
week of the summer. We are a scenic drive away from the glorious Rocky
Mountains, Alberta is home to Drumheller, one of the world's best
dinosaur exhibits at the Royal Tyrell Museum. Calgary, our other
beautiful city, is 3 hours away and Banff and Jasper are two of the
most breath taking towns on the planet. A tour of Fort McMurray and the
oil sands plant is, too, a short drive away. Alberta is an adventure
waiting to happen and you now can include a great tap weekend in your
summer vacation. And remember our Canadian dollar is a bargain on the
world market. Moms could do some back to school shopping very cheaply
while your tapper gets a workout.
For those of you who haven't had a tap class, please join us at
"Hoofin' for Hunger" the finale show and silent auction at Festival
Place in Sherwood Park. I guarantee you will not be disappointed, so
come out to the show on August 19, 2007 at 7 pm and prepare to be
mesmerized by the talent you will see. There may even be a few surprise
guests!
So come join us and share the weekend with amazing Tap Masters and
faculty, who all want to share their styles, secrets and talent with
all of you.
phone 780 722 9562
Hope to see you in Alberta in August for Tap Into A Cure. Please pass
this email to all tappers you know, no one should miss this great
workshop. Thanks Andrew Merrigan

United Way and Silent Fire Productions together at Leaders
Conference
Contact: Matina Banks
Phone: (571) 278-8174
Email: silentfireproductions@yahoo.com
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
UNITED WAY OF AMERICA AND THE ARTS TOGETHER
(Pittsburgh, PA)—Tuesday, May 15th, the United Way of
America Staff Leaders Conference will begin in
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. For the first time ever,
United Way has opened up their conference to all staff
across the United States allowing for a different,
much younger dynamic (most attendees will be between
20 and 40 years old) at the conference.
To meet the needs of this new dynamic, the national
office conceptualized a multimedia performance which
is set to run halfway through the conference, on
Wednesday. Developed through the creative partnership
of L&M Productions of Alexandria, VA. and Silent Fire
Productions of New York City, this performance
includes not only dancing (provided by Silent Fire
Production’s New York based dance company) but music,
video and a voiceover (provided by L&M Productions).
“It’s a lot going on at once,” said Matina Banks,
choreographer for the project and Artistic Director of
Silent Fire Productions. “The challenge was to
incorporate the dancing into all the media being used
without the dancer being lost on stage and
overwhelming the audience with information.”
Three testimonials of personal experiences with
services provided by the United Way of America
correspond to the dance, music and video that make up
the performance. The performance is geared towards
captivating, exciting and motivating the audience
while sharing the story of how United Way fulfills its
mission to help people find answers to their problems.
United Way of America is one of many companies and
corporations who are looking for innovative ways to
inspire and educate employees during conventions and
national meetings. Todd Shanks, one of the dancers
for the performance has done two other performances
similar to this, one for Volvo, and the other for
Ford. “I like doing performances like these because
the people are excited to be there,” Shanks says.
“Because the audience is made up of employees from
United Way, they already know why they are there, they
know what they need. It’s different then performing
at a concert where you are not really sure how the
audience is going to react. In this situation they
are focused and inspired and we, as dancers, expanding
on that by giving them a visual representation of
that.”
The three day conference will be held at Pittsburgh’s
Convention Center, beginning Tuesday, May 15th and
ending Thursday, May 16th.

A message from Rashida:
Hi friends and colleagues,
I am extending this invitation for my curatorial debut @ The Kitchen
on June 1st & 2nd.
Pheeroan akLaff is an amazing and visionary drummer. You may be
familiar with his work with Amiri Baraka and Cecil Taylor,
among others. LaTasha N. Nevada Diggs, whom I've known as
writer/cultural critic is an equally amazing performer combining
vocals, verse and video with live and electronic music. These should
be great evenings here in June!
I hope to see you here!

Tickets $10
Curated by Rashida Bumbray
Brooklyn-based, free-bop jazz drummer and composer Pheeroan akLaff’s
performances conjoin melodic patterns, rhythmic patterns, counterpoint,
chordal voicings, and solo and group improvisation with the intent to
arrive at a liberating place—be it harmonious or cacophonous. akLaff
presents new compositions exploring international grooves and
sensibilities for a quintet composed of himself, bassist Francis
Mbappé, pianist Michael Cain, vocalists Kamillah akLaff and Amon Bey.
The evenings open with a performance by LaTasha N. Nevada Diggs, a
writer, vocalist, and Harlem denizen whose work rigorously explores
sound through a myriad of verse, language, and electronic vocal
processing. This work-in-progress, Excerpts from Fraud & Coda, features
Diggs (vocals, text, electronics, visuals), Daniel Marcellus Givens,
and Guillermo E. Brown, (electronics and vocals).
Music programs at The Kitchen are made possible with generous support
from the Mary Flagler Cary Charitable Trust, the Aaron Copland Fund for
Music, The New York State Music Fund, and with public funds from the
New York State Council on the Arts, a state agency.
