three theories Three Theories is inspired by Brian Greene’s best selling book on theoretical physics, The Elegant Universe. The book describes the inherent conflict between the two pillars of 20th century theoretical physics: Einstein’s
general theory of relativity and quantum mechanics, and introduces the upstart newcomer known as string theory—a theory that ventures into the remarkable ideas emerging from attempts to resolve the conflict.
armitage gone! dance Armitage Gone! Dance was launched in 2005 when Karole Armitage returned to the U.S. after 15 years of working in Europe. She formed her first company, Armitage Gone! in New York City in 1979 to critical acclaim. The company toured to festivals and venues worldwide, performing in collaboration with visual artists David Salle and Jeff Koons. Throughout the 1990s, Armitage chose to maintain her company on a project basis while accepting commissions from European ballet and opera companies. In November 2005, Armitage Gone! Dance launched in New York City, with an unprecedented three-week season at The Duke on 42nd Street Theater, followed by a commissioned dance for Works & Process at The Guggenheim Museum. The excitement generated by these engagements led to performances in Italy, France, Mexico and tours throughout the United States. Highlights of the company’s recent activities include two 2009 world premieres in Italy, performances at the Brooklyn Academy of Music’s 2009 Next Wave Festival, tours to Belgium, Germany and Italy, and engagements in San Francisco, Chicago, St. Louis, Milwaukee and Mass MOCA. Since the company’s launch, it has maintained an active presence in its home community in New York City. In the last two seasons, the company premiered Connoisseurs of Chaos at The Joyce Theater (January 2008), participated in New York City Center’s popular Fall for Dance Festival, collaborated with Gotham Chamber Opera on a production of Ariadne Unhinged, performed in the Guggenheim Museum’s Works & Process series (2008 and 2010) and performed at Lincoln Center Out of Doors. Last winter, the company presented, Think Punk!, a two-week New York City season at The Kitchen, which featured a revival of Armitage’s landmark dances DrasticClassicism and The Watteau Duets to live
music. In May 2009, the company premiered Summer of Love at Teatro Vincenzo di Bellini in Catania, and in June, it premiered Armitage’s Made in Naples at the Napoli Teatro Festival Italia. A work in 15 scenes inspired by Pulcinella and the city of his origins, Made in Naples featured sets by artist Karen Kilimnik and costumes by Alba Clemente. Most recently, the company returned to Italy for performances in Venice, Turin and Asti. It also premiered Itutu at BAM and toured it to the Salle Garnier at the Opera de Monte Carlo, the Festival Pays de Danses in Belgium and the Schrit_tmacher Festival in Germany. Armitage Gone! Dance has received a number of prestigious awards and commissions including two National Dance Project Awards, support from the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation and a Multi-Arts Production Fund Award. Its commissions include the Guggenheim’s Works and Process program, The Joyce Theater’s Cathy and Stephen Weinroth Fund for New Works, the Teatro Massimo Vincenzo Bellini di Catania, Lincoln Center for Lincoln Center Out of Doors, Napoli Teatro Festival Italia, BAM’s 2009 Next Wave Festival, the Krannert Center for the Performing Arts at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and the Hopkins Center, Dartmouth College.

Performing Arts
about the artists Karole Armitage (artistic director) was rigorously trained in classical ballet and began her professional career in 1973 as a member of the Ballet du Grand Théâtre de Genève, Switzerland, a company devoted exclusively to the repertory of George Balanchine. In 1976, she was invited to join Merce Cunningham’s company where she remained for five years, performing leading roles in Cunningham’s landmark works. Through her unique and acute knowledge of the aesthetic values of Balanchine and Cunningham, Armitage has created her own “voice” in the dichotomy of classical and modern, and is seen is by some critics as the true choreographic heir to the two masters of 20th century American dance. Known as the “punk ballerina,” Armitage created her first piece in 1978, followed by the iconic Drastic-Classicism in 1981. Throughout the 1980s she led her own New York-based dance company, Armitage Ballet. Following the premiere of The Watteau Duets at Dance Theater Workshop, Mikhail Baryshnikov invited her to create a work for American Ballet Theatre, and Rudolph Nureyev commissioned a work for the Paris Opera Ballet. Subsequently, she continued to work, both in Europe and the U.S., until 1996 when she was appointed director of MaggioDanza in Florence, Italy. From 1999 to 2004 Armitage was the resident choreographer of the Ballet de Lorraine in France and in 2005, served as the director of the Venice Biennale Festival of Contemporary Dance; her work continues to tour throughout the continent, performed by several European companies. In 2004, Armitage’s company made its debut at the Joyce Theatre. Jennifer Dunning of The New York Times wrote, “Karole Armitage’s Time is the echo of an axe within a wood… is one of the most beautiful dances to be seen in New York in a very long time.” After this successful season at the Joyce, Armitage’s focus shifted more to her New York-based company. Armitage is renowned for pushing the boundaries to create contemporary works that blend dance, music and art. Inspired by disparate, non-narrative sources, from 20th-century physics, to 16th-century Florentine fashion, to pop culture and new media, in her hands, the classical dance vocabulary is given a needed shock to its system with speed and fractured lines, abstractions, and symmetry countermanded by asymmetry. Music is her script
and she has collaborated with contemporary and experimentalist composers such as Rhys Chatham, Lukas Ligeti and John Luther Adams. The scores can be marked by extreme lyricism as well as dissonance, noise and polyrhythms. Sets and costumes for her works are often designed by leading artists in the contemporary art world, including Jeff Koons, David Salle, Philip Taaffe and Brice Marden. As a true post-modernist, Armitage resides in both the esoteric and the popular, having choreographed two Broadway productions, Passing Strange and Hair (which garnered her a Tony Award nomination), as well as works for Madonna and Michael Jackson, and several Merchant-Ivory films. She received a Guggenheim Fellowship, the Grand Prix Roscigno Danza (Italy), and in the spring of 2009, was awarded France’s most prestigious award, Commandeur dans L’ordre des Arts et des Lettres. Among the companies she has set new works on are: American Ballet Theatre, the Paris Opera Ballet; White Oak Dance Project; the Deutsche Oper Berlin; the Bayerische Staatsoper in Munich; Les Ballets de Monte Carlo; Lyon Opera Ballet; Ballet Nacional de Cuba; the Washington Ballet; Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater; The Kansas City Ballet; the Bern Ballet and the Rambert Dance Company. She has directed operas from the baroque and contemporary repertoire for many of the prestigious houses of Europe including Teatro di San Carlo in Naples, Théâtre du Châtelet in Paris, the Lyric Opera in Athens and Het Muzik Theater in Amsterdam. Her work has been the subject of two documentaries made for television: The South Bank Show (1985), directed by David Hinton and Wild Ballerina (1998), directed by Mark Kidel. Leonides D. Arpon (dancer), a Filipino born in Israel, studied at the Bat-Dor Dance School under the direction of Rosaline Subel Kassel. Before joining the Bat-Dor under the direction of Jeannette Ordman, he worked with choreographers such as Luciano Canitto, Randy Duncan and Igal Perry.

to 1980. There, he programmed more than 250 concerts of living composers including the NEW MUSIC / NEW YORK Festival, which was the prototype for the NEW MUSIC AMERICA Festival. Chatham remains active in avant-garde and post-minimalist music, and has lived in France since 1987. He first worked with Karole Armitage in 1981.
Rhys Chatham (composer) is a guitarist and trumpet player from Manhattan. Musically influenced by his harpsichordist father, Price, Chatham was exposed to a wide variety of music from a young age, including early music composers, baroque, Boehm flute and contemporary music. He began studying counterpoint and harmony at age 13. Later, while studying at the NYU Studio for Electronic Music, Chatham worked with Morton Subotnick, Maryanne Amacher, Charlemagne Palestine, Serge Tcherepnin, Ingram Marshall, Eliane Radigue and La Monte Young, which led to performing with Tony Conrad’s group, The Dream Syndicate. Chatham studied tuning with Hugh Gough and William Dowd, and supported himself by tuning instruments for Gustav Leonhard and Glenn Gould. He developed an ability to tune and hear harmonics, and began composing, incorporating the overtone series, and wrote his first composition in just intonation in 1971. In the same vein as composer-performers Terry Riley, Tony Conrad, Cornelius Cardew and Frederic Rzewski, Chatham composed Guitar Trio in 1977, becoming the first composer to make use of multiple electric guitars in just intonation, merging the extended-time music of the 1960s and 1970s, with serious hard rock. He also wrote Die Donnergötter (1984-86) for electric guitar ensemble and later creating An Angel Moves Too Fast to See (1989) for a symphony of 100 electric guitars, electric bass and drums. In the early 1990s Chatham focused his energy on the trumpet, developing a personal “voice” in the context of techno and trip-hop music. He composed A Crimson Gail, commissioned by the city of Paris in 2005, for 200 electric guitars, which premiered at the basilica of Sacré-Coeur for La Nuit Blanche, an all night arts festival. Chatham reworked a new version for Lincoln Center Out of Doors, with 16 additional electric basses. He is the founder of the music program at the Kitchen Center in downtown Manhattan, and was its music director from 1971 to 1973, and 1977
