A NOTE FROM THE ARTISTIC DIRECTOR

There’s nothing like coming home, both to NYC and to The Joyce. This moment feels especially significant as I am proud to present our strongest company yet, performing works that I believe in deeply.

Tonight, BODYTRAFFIC explores the power of memory—how it can spark unexpected emotions, connect us across time, and shape our sense of self. This Reminds Me of You dives into this theme through three extraordinary new works: Mayday , Trey McIntyre’s joyful and bittersweet tribute to the life and music of Buddy Holly; I Forgot The Start , Matthew Neenan’s poetic exploration of memory’s fluidity; and Incense Burning On A Saturday Morning: The Maestro , Juel D. Lane’s celebration of Ernie Barnes’s soulful artistry.

As BODYTRAFFIC enters its 18th year, we reflect on our journey while forging new paths, building toward our 20th anniversary in 2027. We are grateful to have you with us on this journey and to continue our partnership with The Joyce, a place that holds many cherished memories for us.

I am filled with gratitude for our extraordinary dancers, our dedicated team, our board, Gillian, Margaret (and the SELBY/ARTISTS MGMT team), everyone at The Joyce, and the unmatched NYC audiences who make this stage feel like home. Finally, a special shout out to Guzmán and my greatest loves, Jack and Sofia, who serve as the ultimate inspiration, and our endlessly supportive parents who make it all possible.

Thank you for being here. Great evenings of dance always remind us of you.

Big apple love, Tina Finkelman Berkett

MAYDAY (2024)

Lighting Design: James F. Ingalls

Costume Design: Karen Young

Premiere: The Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts, Beverly Hills, CA, 2024

"Using the timeless music of Buddy Holly, "Mayday" explores the looming specter that life can be cut short at any moment. We are seemingly dancing on a tightrope that could render any of our plans useless. Yet we still dance, we still move toward love, and we still plan, create, and live as if infinity lies before us."

Mayday was generously underwritten by Virginia McGehee Friend. This work was made possible in part by a creative residency at Argyros Performing Arts Center in Sun Valley, Idaho. Mayday’s costumes were underwritten by Mark and Judi Aronchick.

It's the same outside, Driving to the riverside. I pretend to cry, Even if I cried alone. I forgot the start.

Use my hands to use my heart. Even if I died alone.

- FLINT by Sufjan Stevens

"I Forgot The Start" walks the line between joy and grief to illuminate the sheer relentlessness of hope. The work is an honest exploration of resilience in the pursuit of connection, despite life’s uncertainties. We are reminded that there is no light without dark.

I Forgot The Start was generously supported by Ali Long. This work was co-commissioned by Penn Live Arts, with support provided by the Penn Live Arts Accelerator Program. This work was made possible in part by a creative residency at Argyros Performing Arts Center in Sun Valley, Idado.

With movements guided by ancestral rhythms, the work emphasizes resilience and serves as a poignant reminder of our shared humanity.

ABOUT THE JOYCE THEATER FOUNDATION

The Joyce Theater Foundation ("The Joyce," Executive Director, Linda Shelton), a nonprofit organization, has proudly served the dance community for more than four decades. Under the direction of founders Cora Cahan and Eliot Feld, Ballet Tech Foundation acquired and The Joyce renovated the Elgin Theater in Chelsea. Opening as The Joyce Theater in 1982, it was named in honor of Joyce Mertz, beloved daughter of LuEsther T. Mertz. It was LuEsther’s clear, undaunted vision and abundant generosity that made it imaginable and ultimately possible to build the theater. Ownership was secured by The Joyce in 2015. The theater is one of the only theaters built by dancers for dance and has provided an intimate and elegant home for over 475 U.S.-based and international companies. The Joyce has also expanded its reach beyond its Chelsea home through off-site presentations at venues ranging in scope from Lincoln Center’s David H. Koch Theater, to Brooklyn’s Invisible Dog Art Center, and to outdoor programming in spaces such as Hudson River Park. To further support the creation of new work, The Joyce maintains longstanding commissioning and residency programs. Local students and teachers (1st–12th grade) benefit from its school program, and family and adult audiences get closer to dance with access to artists. The Joyce’s annual season of about 48 weeks of dance now includes over 300 performances for audiences of over 100,000. Visit Joyce.org for more information.

LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

The Joyce Theater operates on the Lenape island of Manhahtaan (Mannahatta) and acknowledges that it was founded upon the stolen land and erasure of many Indigenous communities. This acknowledgement demonstrates our institution’s commitment to the process of dismantling the legacies of colonialism and cultural imperialism.

We acknowledge the ongoing violence towards Indigenous people through systemic inequality. We pay our respect to the Indigenous peoples who lived and continue to live upon this land, and whose rich history, artistic practices, and spirituality are tied to this land. It is within our responsibility as a cultural institution and our commitment to diversity and inclusion to embody a commitment to Indigenous rights and cultural equity.

We sincerely invite you as an audience member to take a moment to reflect on the history and legacy of displacement, migration, and settlement.

It is our intention to work with local Native American arts councils to better inform our land acknowledgment practices and anticipate that it will evolve over time.
