In their new season, Satellite Collective seeks to secure their place as a leading voice of interdisciplinary art in New York City. Satellite Collective presents a vibrant program of young and emerging artists from the New York City Ballet, Alvin Ailey, Juilliard and the indie music and video scenes. The artists of this interdisciplinary, bright new paradigm have honed their collaborative method with art created specifically for the historical space at 92Y in four fresh works of contemporary ballet, dance, short film and live original music in their dynamic, collaborative style, to premiere as part of 92Y's Dig Dance: Weekend Series. Satellite Collective's new season features the premieres of postclassical music by two composers, ballet and modern dance works by two choreographers, a new short film featuring two ballerinas, and a spoken work with two poets.

Satellite Collective Programming:

A full-length duet by young choreographer Marcus Willis of Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, with an original score by Aaron Severini, former NYCB corps de ballet, and visual design by Kevin Draper.

A full-length dance work for two by young choreographer Devin Alberda of the New York City Ballet, with original score and digital looping by Richie Greene, featuring Taylor Stanley.

A new short film by Lora Robertson, with story by Kevin Draper, featuring Marika Anderson and Lauren King of the New York City Ballet. Score by Stelth Ulvang of The Lumineers, with live soprano Catherine Hancock. Ms. Robertson's work has been described by The New York Times as "a bit like a Joseph Cornell box come to life."

Spoken word invocation with soundscape and multimodal set, continuing the interdisciplinary style Satellite has pioneered under Artistic Director Kevin Draper.

An architectural intervention in collaboration with SiTE:LAB.
