Galapagos Art Space’s newest series, Monday’s Open Variety Night has their first show in the series tonight at 8pm. If you’re a Variety Artist (tightrope, trapeze, juggling, etc) performer and would like to be part of these nights, contact Galapagos. Per Galapagos:

In the post 911 recession many NYC dance companies cut their full time dance corps in half or worse. Many of the young dancers we were working with at the time put one foot on the burlesque stage – a stage whose curtain opened and offered three to five to minutes to establish, develop and resolve a narrative. Faced with a dance world that couldn’t offer them certainty these best and brightest young artists were demanding both a career and an audience.

Now we’re seeing – with the closing of 25% of the off off broadway theaters in our city and many of the more important alternative venues (the Zipper Factory, Tonic, the Collective Unconscious etc) – something similar in the American Variety Arts.

Beginning this March, we’re proud to co-present Open Variety Night – illuminating the best of the American Variety arts – with the world renowned Bindlestiff Family Variety Arts!
