WOVEN

Premiered at The Experimental Media Performing Arts Center in Troy, NY 2019

This collaboration with the Albany Symphony Orchestra as part of the American Music Festival celebrates the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall Riots with a colorful, virtuosic and tender ensemble dance work. Built in collaboration with weaver Margot Becker, we drew upon maypole dancing, barnraising and other community traditions in a series of free waterfront performances along the Hudson River. This work also featured an original score by Viet Cuong and costume design by Enky Bayarsaikhan

DANCE OF THE AGES (1938)

Premiered at the Jacob’s Pillow Dance Festival 2018

Weinert and his nine-person ensemble reconstruct Dance of the Ages with a mixture of historical accuracy and contemporary reflection. The project transforms the Pillow’s campus to reflect the original performance as first experienced in 1938, featuring use of the Pillow’s original barn studio, now known as the Bakalar Studio, traditional production

components, and an authentic pre-performance Tea Garden lecture. The reconstruction process took over 15 months and was made possible through Jacob’s Pillow’s extensive Archives, which holds images, films, costumes, and press clippings from the original production. A collaborative exhibition at the Williams College Museum of Art entitled Dance We Must coincides with the project, displaying an extensive collection of costumes and memorabilia from the time period of the work.

MONUMENT

Premiered at the Jacob's Pillow Dance Festival 2016

Following the critically acclaimed premiere of MONUMENT at Jacob’s Pillow Dance Festival 2016 and recent performances at The Museum of Modern Art, Adam H. Weinert returns with Dance of The Ages. Coinciding with ongoing exhibits at Jacob’s Pillow and The Williams College Museum of Art, this unique and epic ensemble work was created by Ted Shawn in 1938. Shawn considered Dance of the Ages to be the summit of his achievements as a choreographer. It was the first evening-length modern dance ever presented, and one of the last works he choreographed for The Men Dancers.
