Filming NY Quadrille at The Joyce Theater
We love the dance community, and that’s why The Joyce is like a second home to the whole team!
Kicking off the fall season, we filmed two artists presented in NY Quadrille at The Joyce Theater.
Based on a quadrille, an 18th century dance performed in a rectangular configuration and viewed from multiple sides, The Joyce transforms its usual proscenium theater into a stage designed for viewing from two sides for this now-annual event.
Choreographer Lar Lubovitch selects four different dancemakers to show work in the transformed space.
In 2016, we filmed three of the choreographers’ work – Loni Landon, RoseAnne Spradlin and Pam Tanowitz. You can watch RoseAnne Spradlin’s work, “X” here!
This year, my team and I were back at NY Quadrille, grateful to be filming Kyle Abraham A.I.M. and John Jasperse Projects.

My team and I love filming in the reconfigured space at The Joyce during these performances. It’s a nice change of pace and allows us to capture shows from angles that we might not usually get to film during other performances in the theater.
Kicking off the busy fall season filming such talented and differing choreographic voices makes our hearts happy. Feeling so very lucky to do what we do!!!
“Over the years, the Joyce Theater has acquired a reputation for playing it safe. But the two-week “NY Quadrille” festival has given the place and its regular audience a needed shake-up. Partly, the new perspective stems from a new configuration, with a platform stage planted in the middle of the theater so that half the audience faces the other half. More, it comes from the four choreographers chosen by the organizer.”
