[HvEXAS] Tonight! TNO Afterparty | February 25th | Daisy Baker's | 9:30pm-2am | McGillicuddy + We are Architects + DJ WashClothes | FREE!

 

Hey all!  We're still on for tonight, but it is messy out there.  I suggest sledding over with your dancing shoes in tow, or better yet, have a less aware friend pull you (and a date of course) in one of those santa-looking sleighs.  And watch out for snowballs.  I hear McGillicuddy is a dead shot...

The Troy Night Out Afterparty Birthdayparty – February 2011
9:30pm-2am
18 to get in, 21 to drink (ID required)
FREE!

They say it's your birthday, TNO, so let's pretend that makes it TNO
Afterparty's birthday, as well. BOOM.

That's right, it's party time up in this piece. We'll bring the
party hats and you bring the dancing shoes 'cause we're gonna have
three freaktastic DJ's this month. McGillicuddy will take it back, We
Are Architects will spin it out and Surprise Guest DJ WashClothes will raise the
roof. And if you're not into dancing just get silly by the punch
bowl.


9:30pm-11:00ish: McGillicuddy
11:00ish-12:30am: DJ WashClothes
12:30am - 2am: We Are Architects

And don't forget to blow out the candles and eat free cake in Monument
Square at 6pm!

Mucca Pazza featured in Marching Banned (DMC 2010-2011)- image courtesy Mark Messing EMPAC DANCE MOViES COMMISSION 2011-2012: OPEN CALL FOR PROPOSALS Submission deadline: April 18, 2011 http://empac.rpi.edu/commissions/DMC/ EMPAC is now accepting proposals for the next round of its successful DANCE MOViES Commission program. Selected artists receive awards ranging up to $40,000, and can also apply to create their works in conjunction with the Artist-in-Residence program at EMPAC. Works commissioned may take advantage of EMPAC's infrastructure and technology, such as computer-controlled rigging, flexible black-box studios, and post-production engineering for audio and video. Online registration opens on March 15, 2011, with a final submission deadline of April 18, 2011. As the first major US-based commissioning program available to dance-film artists in the North and South America, the DANCE MOViES Commission represents an important opportunity for those working at the intersection of the moving body and the moving image. The commission has funded seventeen projects in the last five years, with four of them also receiving residencies at EMPAC. Previously commissioned works range from a punk marching band creating mayhem in the streets of Chicago to a poetic film based on the autobiographical account of a US-based African choreographer returning to dance in Zimbabwe; a piece in which a contemporary Russian dancer is viewed in the aesthetic context of post-Soviet surveillance to a film were three street kids in the streets of Rio seem to juggle air; and an installation created through 3D laser scanning to another installation where multiple video screens installed side by side layer film samples and a dancer's gestures to create counterpoints of movement and image. For more information on EMPAC and the DANCE MOViES Commission, or to download the guidelines and application, please visit the EMPAC website. Guidelines and information also available in Spanish. Follow EMPAC on FACEBOOK + TWITTER EMPAC 2010-2011 presentations, residencies, and commissions are supported by grants from the National Endowment for the Arts, the National Dance Project of the New England Foundation for the Arts (with lead funding from the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation; additional funding from the Andrew W.

[HvEXAS] Lounge at Daisy Baker's w/Matt Brownell & Daniel Gutiérrez March 19th

 

Close This Daisy's we're bringing up Brooklyn native's Matt Brownell & Daniel Gutiérrez.   Blurbs about our guests will be up soon at our event page. You can stay up to date here: http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=186840238022311 In the mean time you can catch them at www.newtownradio.com February 24 and March 10 from 9 to 11pm Or for your instant aural pleasure you can listen to Matt at: http://soundcloud.com/djdj-matt-brownell/matt-brownell-sunday-gravy-guest-mix Joining them will be your residents for the night Lazer & Blazer; Lazer and Blazer are a team forged in the bowels of good music. They (Adam Littleboy & George Washburn respectively) have been friends for almost 15 years but only began djing together as Lazer and Blazer about three years ago. Separately they had been djing bedrooms and clubs for a few years prior. They quickly found that they made a good team, and the sound that they sought to bring to the area was a unique one. Locally, it seemed as though people started to agree and they began to get booked at various communions and bar mitzvahs. This ended up being such a good time that in 2009 they decided it was time to start throwing regular events in the Capital District. That's when they teamed up with Properly Chilled and together, began putting on nights as a DJ collective called Select Rhythms, keeping rugs cut ever since at places like Quintessence and Daisy Baker's. Their sound can simply be described as eclectic, and depending on the mood of the crowd it will vary, but always be prepared for lots of the boogie. In December 2010 Properly Chilled rode off on a unicorn to be seen from and heard from again, and now Lazer and Blazer are free to begin their lifelong dream of starting a freestyle polka company. Saturday March 19th There is a $5 dollar cover after 10pm, free before. Ages 18+
