🪩 Dance Highlights 🪩
Liony Garcia
Liony Garcia is a dancer and choreographer from Miami, FL.
About the Work Blending the aesthetics of punk music with physical theater, Up in the Clouds examines the shadow self through dynamic movement and structured improvisation.

Meet the Artists
Karen Bernard
About the Work A black wooden chair. A black sequined curtain. A black faux fur blanket. A black laptop. A woman with white hair dressed in black sequined shorts and a matching black top. Choreographer Karen Bernard offers these disparate visual elements to the viewer in her latest work, Fleeting Glimpse, only to connect them by revealing their hidden inner vitality. Through surprisingly spare and inventive movement, Bernard demonstrates that movement itself is life, and despite its fleeting and transitory nature, we experience its pulse through gestures, sideways looks, and subtle shifts that reflect an internal light. Fleeting Glimpse will be performed at PM39 by Johanna S Meyer.

While the PM #39 Artists are putting in the hours to prepare for this year’s Festival, we are giving you a sneak peek of some of the work you’ll see at Abrons Arts Center this June…
LiftOff Artist: Cristina Moya-Palacios
Cristina Moya-Palacios’s All Immerican Dream Girl! aims to shine a light on the complexity of the immigrant experience in the United States by commenting on “The American Dream” from the perspective of a Latina “Dreamer” or Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) recipient. Through overwhelming bouts of extreme physicality, gestural sequences, and social dance sections that never seem to settle, viewers enter a simulation of the taxing cycles, frustrating resets and restarts, unraveling, and inability to move forward that the immigration process entails. She takes us on a journey to nowhere with completely pathless attempts at assimilation that ultimately lead to a reckoning of the crumbling facade this empire has tried to sell us.
Don’t miss Cristina’s work on Sunday, June 8th, Program D.
