I am super pumped to invite you to my next choreographic project! About 6 weeks ago, I was curated to create a new piece for Performa11 - the fourth edition of the internationally acclaimed biennial featuring new visual art performance. For the past month, I have worked alongside three inventive collaborators, a dedicated production manager, a sharp press manager, and 9 incredible performers developing a roughly 50-minute dance theater piece to be performed live in Times Square and on The High Line!
I hope to see you all there!

Do you want rock-hard abs? Slimmer hips and firmer buttocks? Do you reject the idea of autonomous art? Join Tyler Ashley and his group of dancers - the SARAHS - in today's most comprehensive exercise and education program in Constructivism! Don’t miss this opportunity to explore Constructivist concerns about the arrangement and power of the body in space through a unique mash-up of aerobics class clichés and a 19th century Czech “slet.” With explosive movement, live music, and audience interaction, Ashley and the SARAHS probe Constructivist preachings and design. Jane Fonda meets Rodchenko in this interactive exploration into the world of Stepanova style, Meyerhold Biomechanics, and 19th century Eastern massive sports demonstrations.
