The Chocolate Factory Theater in Long Island City has its dance card filled for the fall and spring season. Kicking off the performances of dance, theater, music and all-of-the-above is âFlutterâ by MVworks, a New York City-based dance company founded by Megan V. Sprenger.
In October, the Bessie award winner Karinne Keithley Syers is performing a new piece, âAnother Tree Dance,â that combines sound, dance and text. Also on the calendar is âSomeone Once Told Me I Was a Sound Manâ by the choreographer Jon Kinzel.
The spring lineup includes Target MarginTheater, which will present a new version of the Yiddish play, âUriel Acosta (Doubt is the Food of Faith),â adapted and directed by David Herskovits. The story follows the fate of a 17th-century Jew in Amsterdam who is excommunicated. Later, the choreographer, Liz Santoro, another Bessie winner who is based in Paris, will present âRelative Collider,â a work co-commissioned and presented with the Abrons Arts Center.
