Sundays on Broadway - Fall 2025
Sundays on Broadway is back this fall with five smashing performance evenings featuring new works by a diverse slate of New York’s foremost downtown artists. Each Sunday performance is a unique, one-time-only event, co-curated by Cathy Weis and Martita Abril.
Founded by choreographer and video artist Cathy Weis in spring 2014, the one-night-only events bring together both luminaries of and newcomers to downtown performance, creating a space for artists to present and discuss their work and processes with audiences in the intimate setting of Weis’s SoHo studio. Since its inception, Sundays on Broadway has presented the work of more than 180 choreographers, filmmakers, performers, musicians, and visual artists.
All events begin at 6pm. $5-$20 suggested donation at the door. All donations go to the performers. WeisAcres is located at 537 Broadway, #3 (between Prince and Spring Streets), in Manhattan. For more information about Sundays on Broadway, visit https://cathyweis.org/weisacres/sundays-on-broadway/.
Fall 2025 Schedule
Sunday, October 2
A collaborative duet with DD Dorvillier and Jennifer Monson with special guest Zeena Parkins | Cathy Weis
DD Dorvillier and Jennifer Monson’s performance, titled Vitamin C-II, extends the artists’ collaborative process/action with the audience in mind. Vitamin C is a dance, one of three dances of, not a series, but a clump—like a clump of hair. Vitamin C has shown itself too as a strategy to deepen into vertical time, to put the brakes on the rush to horizontal time, to comb out fear and hate, untangle pains, and sharpen our curls.
From the video archives, Cathy Weis will show 1985.
Sunday, November 2
A Tribute to Aat featuring works by Gabri Christa, Yoshiko Chuma, Fast Forward, Mimi Goese, K.J. Holmes, Lucy Sexton, and Sally Silvers
Aat Hougée (1945-2021), had an indelible influence on experimental dance and performance. In the two schools he led, the Opleiding Moderne Dans in Amsterdam (later SNDO) and the European Dance Development Center (EDDC) in Arnhem, he created structures and bent rules, enabling students to learn from innovative dance and performance artists, musicians and composers, designers, video artists, thinkers. He asked that artists “teach what you don’t know,” teach their explorations of the moment. The list of guests he invited to teach and perform reads like a Who’s Who of Downtown Dance of the 80s and 90s. An illustrious group of artists he especially championed will be performing in honor of Aat on this program.
Sunday, November 9
Angie Pittman | Jon Kinzel | Bob Eisen
Angie Pittman will present an excerpt from Holy Defiance. Their multidisciplinary project is grounded in the belief that Black resistance is sacred, and our acts of defiance are holy. The work explores the transformative power of embodied resistance performing improvisational scores as a meditation honoring these folk traditions.
In the summer of 2025 Jon Kinzel presented a duet with Fabio Tavares at Hudson Hall in Hudson, NY. For Sundays on Broadway, he will expand upon this solo and duet material. Much of the material stems from partnering and improvising together in the studio. Kinzel's visual art—
at times drawings given to the audience, or movable props—will give shape to this evening's performance.
Bob Eisen will present a short solo that includes some dancing, some talking, and some video. It is a capsule summary of what he was doing in the past and how it relates, or doesn’t, to what he is doing today.
Sunday, November 23
lily gold | HIJACK (Arwen Wilder and Kristin Van Loon) | Lisa Kraus
Sheshi is a duet between choreographer and interdisciplinary artist lily gold and her mother, with sound support from artist dani derks and surprise guest performers. Tuning to ancestral resilience and reviving parts lost to assimilation, their scores are transparent with tensions and explore family stories they’ve been told, as well as ones their bodies have begun to tell. While Sheshi rekindles reverence for elders it also embraces back-handed humor, working to coax exiled-aggression into balance. Leaning into play to tether the immensity of looking at ancestral trauma through a multi-generational lens, gold and her mother offer their intimacies for resonance. An excerpt will be shown at Sundays on Broadway.
HIJACK will perform their duet 2 Things.
Lisa Kraus’s Living Room Dances are from a daily practice of improvising to Bach’s French Suites, themselves based on Baroque dances. The prompts are follow first thought, go somewhere, use the eyes, shift, let go. A duet with Bach and sometimes with birdsongs. The title is because when Kraus shares the practice with an audience, it’s usually in a living room.
Sunday, December 14
Katrina Reid | Vicky Shick | Demetris Charalambous and Quique
Katrina Reid will share explorations of her ongoing solo work AdhDetour.
Continuing with her decades-long interest in choreographed intimacies and tender oddities, Vicky Shick, with her dear colleague Jimena Paz, displays through their movement curiosities moments of life in a day, exactly like most days, but particular to these two women.
Demetris Charalambous and Quique have described their work for Sundays on Broadway, as “A banished creature conjures a deity, a hot boyfriend from the bowels of an island. Under terrible bright light, first light inspires desire. A mountain range becomes a shore becomes a core. Pleasuring and annihilating each other, they turn over to the heat and meet as if for the first time, forever.”
