Brink 2006-2010 curated by Michael Helland

Brink
Dixon Place performance series curated by Michael Helland

Brink is a two-night shared-evening platform at Dixon Place, curated by Michael Helland from 2006 to 2010. For artists on the ‘brink’ of a new idea or on the ‘brink’ of an upcoming production, Brink provides an alternative to New York’s fly-by-night-wham-bam-thank-you-ma’am-in-and-out-next-please-no-time-for-tech downtown dance showcase circuit. It can be the first shot at making longer form work or simply a place to experiment with some new ideas. Participating artists are encouraged to meet in advance to help set the stage for their works’ adjacency.
