Cathy Weis Projects will present four Sundays on Broadway events this spring. Co-curated by Cathy Weis and Martita Abril, the evenings will feature new and in-progress works by visionary artists. 

Founded by choreographer and video artist Cathy Weis in spring 2014, the one-night-only events bring together both luminaries and newcomers of downtown performance, creating a space for artists to present and discuss their work and processes with audiences in the intimate setting of Weis’s SoHo studio. Since its inception, Sundays on Broadway has presented the work of more than 180 choreographers, filmmakers, performers, musicians, and visual artists.

The event on Sunday, April 27, features a film by Emily Coates.

Invisible Universe is a feature-length experimental documentary and dance film by Emily Coates that chronicles spontaneous collaborations between leading dance artists and scientists encountering each other for the first time within the Wright Laboratory. Part performance, part cinematic essay, the film frames the intimate, sometimes awkward, process of dialoguing across differences, staging choreographic investigation inside a physics laboratory that has been tasked with studying unseen phenomena. The film features choreographers Annie-B Parson, Ni'Ja Whitson, Rashaun Mitchell and Silas Reiner, scientists Richard Prum, David Moore, and Reina Maruyama, and research and development technician Frank Lopez. Directed by Emily Coates. Director of Photography and Editor: John Lucas. Sound Design: Evdoxia Ragkou. US, Run time: 67 minutes. Post-screening discussion moderated by Brent Hayes Edwards.
