HYBRID
The Sky Box
Brooklyn, NY
HYBRID is a performance series featuring artists who explore new forms and fusions from ancient and contemporary sources. We revel in the creative alchemy of collaboration and exchange, drawing from widely diverse experiences and inspirations to create a new vision, a new version, a new HYBRID of performance. For this incarnation of the series, we bring you:
...The incomparable Mira Betz, whose unique performance style combines exquisite technical skill with a profound emotional depth and engagement. The result is at once graceful, captivating, playful, elegant, and inspiring. She has been traveling the globe teaching and performing, so it is a rare treat to have her in NYC for her first solo performance.
...The new Brooklyn duo Beatbox Guitar, who create an innovative mix of flamenco, world, psychedelic rock, hip hop and punk. Pete List's effortless flow of beat and breath on the mic showcases Rob Mastrianni's innovative, intricate guitar and electric sitar stylings. With guest Ken Hashimoto on cello.
...The aerial antics of Lady Circus, an all-female circus troupe that specializes in a concoction of riot and glamour. They are daring, funny, strong, beautiful...and they defy gravity. (They are also the resident company, founders, and directors of the Sky Box.)
...The theatrical and adventurous style of Fire in the Belly, a fusion belly dance company visiting us from Charlottesville, VA.
...The accordion stylings of Nicki Pfoutz and some beautiful songs from the trio Nickirinata.
...Djordje Stijepovic, the San Francisco based Serbian master of the slap bass. Last seen in New York with the "cross pollinated gypsy" band Fishtank Ensemble, he also plays with Head Cat (featuring Lemmy from Motorhead and Slim Jim Phantom from Stray Cats) and in several other bands, showcasing his amazing talent in styles from rockabilly, blues, and jazz to Balkan, Middle Eastern, and more.
...The newest work from Alchemy Dance Theater, celebrating the alchemy of tradition and innovation, tribal and urban, ritual and spectacle.
