Are you ready for an intergalactic experience?
Valerie Green/Dance Entropy presents Everything at the Museum of the Moving Image on Sunday, June 23, at 3 pm.
A Summer Solstice celebration, this dance installation evokes the ever-expanding universe, transforming the performance space into a constellation of stars and human bodies in various states of formation and explosion.
It’s truly out of this world, and attendance is free.
Green, who conceived and directed the piece, weaves together a visual, physical, and emotional translation of the cosmos. She says she found inspiration in astrophotography, string theory, interconnectivity, and meditations on space and time during her creative process. A performer since her childhood in Ohio, Green moved to New York City in 1995 and founded Dance Entropy in 1998.
Everything is scheduled for the Kaufman Courtyard. It’s part of Open Worlds, a program that includes artist talks, live music, professional development panels, and trivia events in MoMI’s first floor lobby and courtyard. On May 18, MoMI unveiled the estimated 15,500-square-foot, climate-controlled Open Worlds venue which has WiFi, a green space, and a new concession offering wine, beer, and food from local businesses.
MoMI is located at 36-01 35th Ave. in Astoria’s Kaufman Arts District.
