The Scattering, or the Light (working title) by Emily Coates
Saturday, Apr 5th, 2025; 2 PM
Catskill Mountain Foundation in partnership with Works & Process at the Guggenheim presents a new work in progress by former member of New York City Ballet Emily Coates. Spurred by George Balanchine’s brief yet pivotal 1933 touchdown in Hartford, Connecticut, dancer and choreographer Emily Coates gathered artifacts of his lingering presence in archives throughout the region. Coates creates an alternative portrait of a choreographic legacy, by collaging far-flung remains: unanswered letters from his mother, lost ballets, 1950s publicity brochures, original muses, and more. Filled with hidden stories and quieted voices, The Scattering, or the light (working title) meditates on the spark that propels art into existence.
