March 15, 2010 - Great News! We were recently awarded a commission from the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts as part of their Local Dance Commissioning Project! This award is for the development and premier of Affectations on the Kennedy Center's Millennium Stage in October. We're delighted to receive this commission that has helped us to garner interest in touring the work during the 2010-2011 season. You can check out our Affectations page to see where we'll be next year.

In the meantime, we're gearing up for a two-week run of The Loving Project: E-Race at Joe's Movement Emporium in Mount Rainier as well as a performance on the Kennedy Center Millennium Stage in June.

Then in August, we're off to Edinburgh, Scotland to perform Haunted at Dance Base with Chloe and Leah Smith of Rising Appalachia and Kofi Dennis. We're thrilled to be invited back to Edinburgh and are looking forward to an exciting summer! (Oh, and Holly will be coming with us to Edinburgh!)

As we are in the midst of dialogue with Mid-Atlantic presenters for touring engagements of Affectations, we are always seeking partners and potential tour sites for our newest work! On the horizon, we're talking with Baltimore Theatre Project, Irondale Ensemble Project, and Dance Place. Hope to see you at one of our upcoming shows!

More soon...
Peace.

December 20, 2009 - Happy Holidays! We hope our letter finds you well and in good spirits as the Holiday season is upon us! We are truly grateful for your support and belief in our work this past year.

We are writing to you now with lots of exciting news for the upcoming year. Our new company name is Dance Box Theater, Inc. Our amazing board of directors has approved our name change so that we may kick off the New Year with our brand new name! While our mission, goals and creative vision remain the same, we feel our new name more accurately identifies our work and reflects our creative process. We received a matching grant award of $800 from Alternate ROOTS to assist us through this transition and we are now in the process of replacing the Dancenow website and introducing Dance Box Theater to our community (that�s you!).

But a name is just a name! We are even more excited about all the performance opportunities we have coming up in 2010!

• In June, we will present The Loving Project: E-Race, which premiered last fall at Dance Place, over two weekends at Joe�s Movement Emporium in Mount Rainier, Maryland. A new version of this evening-length performance examines the experiences of interracial and non-traditional partners and the impact of couples whose love for each other defied convention and changed the course of his/herstory. Please save the dates and tell your friends ~ June 11-13 and 18-20.
• We are creating a new section of The Loving Project: E-Race for Beth and Terence Humphrey-McKay, the interracial couple who in October 2009 were denied a marriage license from a Justice of the Peace in the State of Louisiana.
• We have been invited to present The Loving Project: E-Race on the Kennedy Center�s Millennium Stage on June 16, 2010 as the opening performance of the Dance/USA conference.
• After successful performances of an excerpt from Haunted at the 2009 Edinburgh Fringe Festival, Dance Base in Edinburgh, UK has invited us back across the pond and will present the full-evening ensemble version of Haunted for 12 performances as part of Dance Base�s programming during the 2010 Edinburgh Fringe Festival in August. We fell in love with Dance Base and are thrilled that they have invited us back to Edinburgh!

December 16, 2009 - It's official! We've changed our name to Dance Box Theater!

October 12, 2009 - A fabulous evening in the studio with the Dance Place Repertory Performers tonight! Great to have Peter and Ken in the space too... (and a little visit with Cheles!) Hope you can join us for the premier of The Loving Project: E-Race in two weeks at Dance Place... oh, and check out the Loving Project blog: http://LovingProject.blogspot.com

October 3, 2009 - We're seeking a new name for our 501(c)(3) umbrella organization! Potential names currently under consideration: Ilex Productions, Inc. and Ilex Dance. Ilex is the latin name for the Holly plant. So, for now -- we still live at dancenow.org, however we will be transitioning away from this domain over the next several months...

August 19, 2009 - Just arrived home after an amazing 10 days at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival! We shared a bill with some fabulous artists including Erin Elliott (Los Angeles), Anna Myer and Dancers (Boston), C. Eule Dance (NYC), KDNY (NYC), Kim Robards Dance (Denver), and Michael Mao Dance (NYC). Our performances went very well as we performed an excerpt of Haunted. We had one of the finest venues in Edinburgh, thanks to producer Jodi Kaplan: Venue150 at the Edinburgh International Conference Center! Holly was with us and we were able to see lots of performances make some great connections! We do hope to go back to Edinburgh!

As for now, We�re back in the studio this week in preparation for our upcoming performance of The Loving Project at Dance Place in October. We�re also gearing up to teach the fall 2009 repertory and performance class at Dance Place. Participants of this class will be invited to perform with us in October as we premier our latest work.

Also, Laura will be performing in Richmond, VA as part of the city-wide retrospective for the late Richard Carlyon. Laura will perform There, Then & Now/Doin' the Shorty George at the Grace Street Theater on September 26, 2009.

It was an amazing journey in Edinburgh, but we�re so happy to be back in Mount Rainier! And with some great news on the home front too: Dancenow Productions, Inc. is now officially a 501(c)3 tax exempt organization!

Much Love,
Laura & Stephen

January 17, 2009 - Whew! After several weeks of conceptualizing, writing, and video editing, we finally submitted our MAP grant application online! Please keep your fingers crossed! As we approach this inaugural week with a couple million folks coming into the city, we are hopeful that the arts can stay on the table for President Obama's administration!

In the meantime, we thankfully say goodbye to Bush! If you're coming into the city on Tuesday, please give us a shout out and say hello. We'll be at Joe's Movement Emporium on Tuesday for a celebration extraviganza! Hope to see you there!

Until next time!
Laura & Stephen

December 21, 2008 - As we cross the solstice into winter's heart, we are preparing for our showcase performance during the Association of Performing Arts Presenters (APAP) in January. We will be performing an excerpt of Haunted at the Ailey Citigroup Theater as part of Jodi Kaplan & Associates' boutique roster showcase! We're looking forward to re-connecting with our friends in New York City and sharing a showcase with the fabulous artists on the JK&A Boutique roster.
     
A special thanks goes out to Gary Levitt and the good folks at MadMimi for spending time online with me from Chicago to help with the "snow" that appears on several pages of our website! If you're looking for an email marketing company, check out the link above by clicking on the MadMimi logo...the folks at MadMimi are VERY friendly and helpful...far beyond the call of duty! Visit them here...I highly recommend them! AND they're much better than Constant Contact!

So, enjoy your Holiday Season! Laura and Holly are currently making peppermint meringue cookies! Yum! Hope to see you in New York...also, keep on the look out for more information about our upcoming spring performance in New Orleans at the State of the Nation Festival in March 2009!

Peace Y'all!
Laura & Stephen

August 27, 2008 - What an amazing summer! The Alternate ROOTS Annual Meeting at Lutheridge; the Network of Ensemble Theaters gathering in New Orleans; then a week on the beach at the Outer Banks in North Carolina! We're all rested and energized as the summer has quickly come to a close and the fall season starts again next week (Holly's already back in school...8th grade!)

Some breaking news: We have been nominated for three Metro DC Dance Awards for Portals: Outstanding New Work, Excellence in Sound Design/Original Composition, and Excellence in Lighting Design for Cathy Eliot.

Join us for in October for an extended run of Haunted at Joe's Movement Emporium. We're having a special midnight Halloween performance, so be sure to reserve your tickets early by calling Joe's!

So much more to come...we hope you all have been having a fabulous summer and we look forward to seeing you at Joe's this fall...or in New Orleans next March! (More to come about that soon!)

Peace Y'all!
Laura & Stephen

July 10, 2008 - It's been a busy summer already. We premiered Haunted at Dance Place with Leah and Chloe Smith of Rising Appalachia and Kofi Dennis to wonderful responses...even though no press came (shame on you DC print media!) We'll be performing excerpts at the Alternate ROOTS Annual Meeting and the Network of Ensemble Theaters NET Gathering this August. We are also in dialogue with Nick Slie of Mondo Bizarro to bringHaunted to New Orleans, hopefully during the 2009 State of the Nation Festival with ArtSpot Productions. If you didn't get a chance to see it, you can check out the brief 2 minute video clip of Haunted on our website here.

We also just completed a quick new collaborative work with musician/composer Jonathan Morris. Paint it Blue was a result of an invitation to participate in the 2008 Source Theater Festival Mash-Up. Using film footage from Ray Schandelmeier in 1970, Laura, Jonathan and I explored the theme of surveillance and asked the question, "Who's watching us now?" You can raed Jonathan's blog here.

And for now, we've got a few weeks rest to get our 501(c)3 application submitted. We've been fortunate to work with a wonderful lawyer through Maryland Volunteer Lawyers for the Arts who is assisting us through the legal labyrinth of IRS form 1023. Soon, we'll be able to receive tax-deductible contributions, foundation and government grants, and corporate contributions for Dancenow Productions, Inc. It's an exciting time and a great time to be a dance artist!

We hope the summer is going well for you all. We hope to see you soon...maybe at the PG pool or out supporting some of the fabulous performance venues in the city of DC!

Peace.
Laura & Stephen

February 24, 2008 - Hi there! As the New Year quickly becomes not so new (hard to believe that March is right around the corner), the winter season was quite eventful and Laura and I have been burning the midnight oil - only one day off thus far since New Year's day! So what has been keeping us so busy? The National Performance Network’s Annual Meeting last December, brought us to New Orleans where we co-facilitated a professional development workshop for national touring artists as part of a team from the Alternate ROOTS’ Resources for Social Change Program. January found us at the Association of Performing Arts Presenters conference in New York where we showcased an excerpt from Portals as part of Jodi Kaplan and Associate’s National Boutique Roster. Closer to home, the InSeries commissioned us to create and perform the roles of Monteverdi’s doomed lovers in Combattimento di Tancredi e Clorinda, which premiered in January at the ATLAS Performing Arts Center. We've been applying for grants like there's no tomorrow, and even through there is little instant gratification for this, if we don't ask...

Anyway, just yesterday, we set up our Portal again in preparation for a special repeat performance at the Clarice Smith Performing Arts Center coming up on March 4. We've also been in the studio with Chloe Smith of Rising Appalachia in creating our 4th evening-length performance work, Haunted. On top of all of this, visits from Kip Lee and Carlton Turner have kept us in touch with the ROOTS community. Oh, and by the way, we're in the process of incorporating and applying for our 501(c)3 status. More to come about that later.

Hope the season is going well for you all. Sending you much peace.

L & S

January 17, 2008 - Hello! Laura and I are just coming back from APAP where we had a fabulous performance as part of Jodi Kaplan and Associates' National Boutique Roster showcase. This week, we're getting ready to perform in the InSeries production of Opera Triptych at the Atlas Performing Arts Center. We hope to see you soon and please join our mailing list!

Peace.

November 13, 2007 - Greetings! Hope the season is going well for you all. Here's a quick update about what we're up to in the near future...In December we will be on the team of facilitators for Principles of Working in Community, the professional development workshop offered by the Resources for Social Change Program of Alternate ROOTS for artists at the National Performance Network Annual Meeting in New Orleans.

In January, look for us in New York at the Association of Performing Arts Presenters confernece on the Jodi Kaplan and Associates' Boutique Roster Showcase at the Ailey Theater, Monday January 14 at 4:10pm where we will perform an excerpt from our latest full-evening duet work, Portals to original music by Clapp. The full work will also be presented by the Take 5 Series at The Clarice Smith Performing Arts Center at the University of Maryland on March 4, 2008.

Most recently, we have been commissioned by the IN Series to create and perform the roles of Monteverdi’s doomed lovers in Combattimento di Tancredi e Clorinda, a mini opera featuring a soprano, tenor, baritone and string quartet. The work will premiere at the ATLAS Performing Arts Center in Washington, DC January 19 & 20 and 26 & 27, 2008.

We are currently working on Haunted, a new full-evening work that unearths local lore and ghost stories of the diverse community in which we live and work – Mount Rainer, Maryland, where some say the story behind “The Exorcist” took place. Created in collaboration with musicians Chloe and Leah Smith of Rising Appalachia and members of the Mount Rainier community, Haunted will unfold through arts-based experiences and story circles where community participants will be invited to share their tales. Revealing commonalities among people through relationships to the past, the unknown and community histories, Haunted will premiere on May 31 & June 1, 2008 at Dance Place in Washington, DC.

Just a quick update...hope to see you soon!

Peace.
