Sundays on Broadway

Jade Manns Jade Manns

Cathy Weis Projects presents Sundays on Broadway on May 7. The evening will feature new and in-progress works by Jade Manns, Juliette Mapp, Jo McKendry with Molly Ross, and Cathy Weis.

Drawing inspiration from the history of her building at 537 Broadway, a veritable Bateau-Lavoir of the 1970s and 1980s, where Nam June Paik, Shigeko Kubota, Simone Forti, Yoshi Wada, Davidson Gigliotti, Elaine Summers, Jean Dupuy, and George Maciunas lived and worked, choreographer and video artist Cathy Weis launched Sundays on Broadway in May 2014. This one-of-a-kind series brings together both luminaries and newcomers of Downtown performance, creating a space for artists to perform and discuss their work and processes with audiences in the intimate setting of Weis’s SoHo loft. Since its inception, the series has presented the work of more than 130 choreographers, filmmakers, performers, and visual artists. Robert Greskovic of the Wall Street Journal writes that “while the atmosphere evokes New York in the 1970s, the artistry on view feels up to the minute.”

WeisAcres is located at 537 Broadway, #3 (between Prince and Spring Streets), in Manhattan. For more information about Sundays on Broadway, visit www.cathyweis.org.
