The Joyce Theater Foundation was very fortunate to have Vicente Wolf, one of Architectural Digest’s AD100 designers, contribute his skills towards making over the common areas in our DANY Studios. In addition to being beautiful to look at, Vicente’s gorgeous redesign provides seating and comfortable spaces for the dancers to eat, relax, and congregate before and after rehearsals.

Take a look at the design journey in this video clip from SPACEStv (look out for cameo appearances by Executive Director Linda Shelton and our new artist-in-residence Stephen Petronio:

Filmmaker and visual artist Brian Johnson was commissioned by Knowledge Network in 2009 to create 19 short pieces in collaboration with as many British Columbia-based artists, who are both inspired and challenged by their geographic surroundings. These “cArtographies” were assembled into a kind of cultural survey of the province, mapping the diversity of the artists who live and create there.

This beautiful clip features choreographer Crystal Pite, who will bring The Tempest Replica to the Joyce stage November 28 through December 2.

This December, Russell Maliphant brings The Rodin Project to The Joyce. The Sadler’s Wells/Russell Maliphant production is inspired by the works of the great French sculptor, Auguste Rodin. Maliphant draws on the high energy talents of extraordinary performers and a commissioned score by Russian composer Alexander Zekke to create a movement vocabulary influenced by popping, breaking, and contemporary dance, which he integrates with his own language of flow, form, and dynamics.

In this video clip with an introduction by Sadler’s Wells CEO Alistair Spalding, Maliphant discusses the project.
