Thank you for joining me here to dive into Obremski/Works's developments, our 2023-2024 season, and a new phase of the organization.
Season 2023-2024 is a special one for O/W. Not only are we coming from our 5th anniversary season full of international presentations, NYC performances, and two AAPI fellowships but, this season holds milestones for O/W: Our first evening-length performance run of four shows at NYC's Arts on Site, the welcoming of three new AAPI fellows, and a new era of the organization towards becoming a 501 (c)(3).
For this season, we have incredible collaborative artists joining us from across America, Japan, and Taiwan. Our internationally acclaimed In-Visible will be joined by Light-Print, a work produced by Gibney Company and later presented in Canada with Toronto Metropolitan University at Fall For Dance North 2023, and a NEW CREATION, Gaman, inspired by the relations between shoji, Japanese sliding doors, and sensations of home. These Obremski works will be performed by the company at our NYC Arts on Site 2024 Season (May 30th - 31st) and festivals across the world. In addition to Obremski’s choreography and to showcase the equal value of our company and our fellowships, the program will share space with our 2024 voyager fellow recipient to present their choreographic work and/or performance!
With an increased dedication towards sustainability, team members, and AAPI equity-minded art, I am excited and energized toward the future of Obremski/Works within the culture of our arts field.
Thank you for joining in this magical phase and a new era of Obremski/Works!
- Jesse Obremski, Founder, Artistic Director, and Choreographer
