Each year Racoco/Rx participates in the Association of Performing Arts Presenters conference in New York City, as part of a consortium of companies, The Construction Company Dance Portfolio. The showcase is open to the public, and is free! You can see 10- to 15-minute excerpts of 12 unique and creative companies in one sitting.

Racoco performs at 9:50am, 10:50am, and 11:50am, featuring live music by Gili Sharett on bassoon and Lawrence Zoernig on cello.

For more information about all the companies visit The Construction Company.

As 2011 draws to a close, we are girding our loins for all that awaits us in 2012. Help us prepare for battle: please consider making a tax-deductible contribution to Racoco/Rx as part of your end-of-year giving. Any amount is valuable, whether it's $15, $150, $1500, or $15,000.

Thank you to everyone who has already joined the fray!

We are very excited for the November 2012 premiere of our new full-evening production, Tilt. It will be unlike anything you have seen before, combining dance, live music--and carpentry. We've also been invited to give a performance and workshop at Maryland Institute College of Art in February as the first of our Rx Laboratories. Later in the spring we'll be heading to Strömbackaskolan in Piteå, Sweden! And we will continue our fledgling program bringing performances and workshops to therapy and rehabilitation centers, which has been very successful at the centers and extremely rewarding for us. Please join us in our endeavors!

To contribute, click here or send a check to Racoco Productions, 109 N 9th Street 3R, Brooklyn, NY 11249. Any contribution is fully tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law.

Thank you for your ongoing support!

Talented choreographer and performer Ariane Anthony is showing new work at the Construction Company and has invited some guests to be on the program.

Tonight is the last show; Rachel will perform in an improvisational piece by another talented choreographer and performer, Rebekah Windmiller.

This weekend Mary Anthony presents her annual performance of her beautiful piece "Ceremony of Carols."

The program also features work by current and former students, including Racoco alumnus Adrian Jevicki. Saturday night Masumi Kishimoto performs a Racoco solo, and on Sunday Rachel Cohen and Kelly Kocinski will join her. Kelly also reprises her role in "Carols" both nights.

Mary, who turned 95 this year, will teach her annual Christmas Eve class on December 24.

As part of South Beach Center's Wellness Day on Thursday, October 20, we'll perform pieces from our repertory, followed by a workshop in "Making Dances" - we'll demonstrate how we make a piece, and participants will get to direct the dancers and create their own movements.
