NYC-based Ana Isabel Keilson brings her new work\, Forward\, to the Tank NYC. Exploring the process of evolution in both the human world and the animal kingdom\, Forward features an unconventional and highly detailed movement vocabulary. The dance is charged with a physical and emotional energy that examines our origins from microscopic life forms to erect bipeds\; Forward draws inspiration from the biodiversity from which we\, as homo sapiens sapiens\, have evolved and sheds new light on the complexity of our physical beginnings. An original score by composer Joshua Hudelson manipulates sounds from the natural world and provides an acoustic environment that\, like the dance\, transports the audience\, transforms the stage\, and pulses with the sublime force of life.nnTorchbearers of the new tide of Do-It-Yourself dance and performance in New York City\, Ana Isabel Keilson and Collaborators create work with integrity. Through their burgeoning and evolving working process\, they seek to invigorate audiences everywhere with a performance experience that is stimulating\, forceful and inspiring. Committed to community activism as well as performance\, their work brings a much-needed dialogue back into the dance world today.nnAna Isabel Keilson was born in Portland\, ME. She has performed with companies including the Bill T. Jones/Arnie Zane Dance Co.\, Nugent + Matteson Dance\, PEARSONWIDRIG DANCETHEATER\, and Daniel McCusker Dance Projects.

Playwrights bring fresh scripts\, and actors are called out of a hat to perform timed segments\, completely unrehearsed. After each round\, the judges score the plays\, moving the top-scoring plays to the next round. Winning writers get to unveil more of their work\, acting as director or bringing one in to give timed notes. SLAM is an evening of theater with impromptu performance\,nspontaneous collaboration\, and friendly competition.nnNow in it's third year\, SLAM Theater continues to encourage new voices\, opening up a stage for diverse writers to develop work. SLAM is open to everyone. Anyone can come in\, throw down a script\, put their name in the actor pool\, and get involved. A community has grown around SLAM -- a group of artists who come regularly to support each other\, and give each other honest feedback in a raw\, immediate setting. Each month\, our SLAM Champion is given The Tank's space to put on a staged reading of their work. Many artists come and end up making strong connections and creative relationships that continue to develop outside of SLAM. SLAM is always growing and expanding. Actors\, bring your talent. Playwrights\, bring your scripts. Audience\, bring your voice. Come SLAM!nn$10 suggested donationn

Playwrights bring fresh scripts\, and actors are called out of a hat to perform timed segments\, completely unrehearsed. After each round\, the judges score the plays\, moving the top-scoring plays to the next round. Winning writers get to unveil more of their work\, acting as director or bringing one in to give timed notes. SLAM is an evening of theater with impromptu performance\, spontaneous collaboration\, and friendly competition.nnNow in it's third year\, SLAM Theater continues to encourage new voices\, opening up a stage for diverse writers to develop work. SLAM is open to everyone. Anyone can come in\, throw down a script\, put their name in the actor pool\, and get involved. A community has grown around SLAM -- a group of artists who come regularly to support each other\, and give each other honest feedback in a raw\, immediate setting. Each month\, our SLAM Champion is given The Tank's space to put on a staged reading of their work. Many artists come and end up making strong connections and creative relationships that continue to develop outside of SLAM. SLAM is always growing and expanding. Actors\, bring your talent. Playwrights\, bring your scripts. Audience\, bring your voice. Come SLAM!n

Rock stars\,maybe… nMariaColacoDance is LIVE AT THE TANK and putting on a raucous good show. Starched suits\, a stage flooded with crumpled newspapers and five fearless female dancers kick it off with Sunk-in roots. Flailing through space as if magnetically drawn to the ground\, the dancers exude grittiness in a monochromatic milieu. Also on the bill is AAA\: American Apparel Anonymous\, inspired by the suggestive and often times offensive ads by clothing retailer American Apparel. With fast\, seductive and athletic movement\, the dancers step right out of one of the company’s controversial ads and onto the stage. Combine all of this in-your-face physicality\, throw in a couple more short works and comedian Chesley Calloway spouting witty interludes between sets…and you’ve got MariaColacoDance LIVE AT THE TANK.nnMaria Colaco founded MariaColacoDance in 2005 as a vehicle for her original choreography. As a choreographer and performer\, Colaco creates work that is a culmination of her cultural\, professional and educational experiences – whether from her native India\, her years on Florida’s Redneck Riviera or her current life in New York. Influenced by pedestrian gestures\, break dancing\, classic modern dance and theatre\, and frequently utilizing text and a wide range of media\, Maria Colaco’s work appeals to an ever-expanding audience. Her choreography benefits from her commitment to challenge the established boundaries between sacred and secular\, classical and pop\, comedy and tragedy.

Rock stars\, maybe…MariaColacoDance is LIVE AT THE TANK and putting on a raucous good show. Starched suits\, a stage flooded with crumpled newspapers and five fearless female dancers kick it off with Sunk-in roots. Flailing through space as if magnetically drawn to the ground\, the dancers exude grittiness in a monochromatic milieu. Also on the bill is AAA\: American Apparel Anonymous\, inspired by the suggestive and often times offensive ads by clothing retailer American Apparel. With fast\, seductive and athletic movement\, the dancers step right out of one of the company’s controversial ads and onto the stage. Combine all of this in-your-face physicality\, throw in a couple more short works and comedian Chesley Calloway spouting witty interludes between sets…and you’ve got MariaColacoDance LIVE AT THE TANK.

Focusing primarily on software-based composition\, minusbaby uses lo-fi electronic synthesis to create chip music that defies genre classification. One song could be a micromusic lullaby inspired by 17th Century Spanish architecture\, while the next may be reggaeton for a cymbal-clapping robotic monkey\, composed with an ear for fine hip-hop beats and debuted for an Australian Cattle Dog in São Paulo\, Brazil. With minusbaby\, '60s—'70s Brazilian pop can meet mid-'80s New York b-boy jams cut with Santería percussive patterns\, everything filtered through the ears and fingers of a musician looking to push what chip music can display stylistically\, and what people will experience when they hear it themselves.nnhttp\://www.minusbaby.comnhttp\://www.facebook.com/pages/minusbaby/7523716966?ref=snn==========================nnBalúnnnhola a todos. At first\, we were an electronic duo in 2002 and the name was Balloon\, and we all lived in Puerto Rico. Then we became an electro-acoustic trio in 2004 and we became Balún. By 2007 we became officially a quartet and lived in other countries. We like dreamy music that's why most of the time we would like to be sleeping. We recorded and self-released some songs for everybody in 2003 and 2004\, and that was good. Some people\, well specifically Robert Balun\, have told us that our songs made them sleepy. Success! We would like to play in other countries and that's why we want to buy a plane. We also play in other different bands. Two of them are called Arturo en el Barco and Los Nervios. They are really nice too. If you would like to download our music you can visit the netlabel Observatory\, there's a free EP called \\"While Sleeping\\" we made for you during our sleep in summer of 2004\, and with love! Our first album\, titled \\"Something Comes Our Way\\" was released on 2006 by the Chicago-based label Brilliante Records! Our EP Collection was re-released last year by the NYC label Expansion Team. In 2007 we also released new songs on compilations by netlabels Petite &\; Jolie (France) and Aerotone (Germany).

They all over the internet\, b@tch.nwww.myspace.com/ninjasoniknnTHE FRAIL\:nIn the less than a year from conception\, The Frail has taken the Bay Area music scene by storm.

They have also joined the bill with International acts such as The Teenagers\, Ming and Ping\, The Phenomenauts\, Villains\, The Teenagers and Tunng. Shortly after the release of their first EP in July 2007\, title track \\"Count on This\\" was featured on the Tankfarm Future Sounds Compilation(Larry Little &\; Company) and added to the playlists of legendary Bay Area radio stations Live 105 and SOMA FM as well as being featured by Aaron Axelson on Live 105's music show Soundcheck.- The Frail was also a featured band at Live 105's Summer Concert series in 2007.

This simple process produces complexly beautiful imagery\: lavender-blue landscapes\; expansive\, jet black skies\; starkly moonlit farmhouses\; and hushed twilight cityscapes. Those are the images and moods Day For Night's music calls to mind\, and like the filmic process from which they take their name\, the simplicity of the lineup belies the sweep of the sound. A three piece that formed based on a shared love of music\, guitarist Keith Ehrlich and drummer Bill Kovalcik layer bass-heavy guitar chords that are both swirling and piercing with thick and explosive drums\; Kali Holloway renders towering vocals that are equal parts anticipation and balefulness. The sum of these parts is music that is minimalist and lush at the same time\; jagged and dreamy at once\; and as expansive as it is intimate.nwww.myspace.com/dayfornightnyc1

Starting with just sounds and images\, both began to develop a story with the intention that the music and visual imagery would organically start creating the narrative. The story deals with a character that tries\, with literally all he has in his head\, to create a partner in life\, a friend or simply someone that can listen to him. Little by little\, Alejandro discovers that there is no way to escape his loneliness and that he simply needs to come to terms with this inescapable reality.

The story takes its focus from Will – a “townie” – who as a 16-year-old secretly gets involved with he university student movement despite his working class family and his brother who is in the National Guard. Now an adult\, Will reluctantly searches through all known footage of May 4 to discover if his brother was one of the Guardsmen who shot his friends and fellow activists that day. Will’s exploration takes us back to the town of Kent in 1970\, and uncovers the local\, national and international forces that converged to take four young lives. His search highlights how far Americans go to profit from war – both then and now – and he finds he must also ask himself this same question\: how far will he go? Like Traffic\, the film moves beyond its core conflict\, students versus government\, to capture a personal story of a boy\, a family\, a school and a town that lose everything. Kent State raises the questions of who Americans are and how they treat each other\, not abroad\, but in their own back yard.nnThe story of Kent State has never before been seen on the big screen.nIts time is now.nn$10 Regularn$5 Student

Vocals harkening back to Joe Strummer of the Clash\, and guitars with a Richard Lloyd/Tom Verlaine dynamic give the So Sos more than a solid base to build on. Guitar parts that meld together seamlessly give the band a balanced feel\, with neither lead nor rhythm taking the forefront. Solid bass lines carry the songs along and give the ear something to hold on to as it were. The drums give the songs an upbeat feel (no pun intended) that keeps the listener tapping along to every fill and gives him something to clap to on the numerous singalongs. Overall\, the So So's songs are not only catchy and well written\, but well composed\\"- Grey Gordennmyspace.com/sosoglosnnSTARSCREAMnA two piece game boy group with live drums.

The film is also the first feature film produced in an authentic Indian Nation as opposed to a commercially-based film location made to look like an Indian Nation. The film tells the story of a successful Native American attorney\, Robert Doctor (Michael Greyeyes)\, forced choose between his affluent lifestyle in New York City\, and his own self-respect when his law firm pursues a huge casino development plan that puts his home reservation at great risk. nnFor many years Robert Doctor has made a successful life for himself miles away from his Native people. He has come to love his urban lifestyle and the admiration of his colleagues at the white shoe law firm where he is being groomed for partner. When the firm demands that Robert pressure the tribal elders on his home reservation to accept a casino development plan to put a casino on their land\, he finds himself pursuing corporate interests against those of his home. Suddenly\, while trying to negotiate the casino deal\, a childhood friend of Robert's is accused of the brutal murder of a guard during a prison uprising. Tribal elder Wesley Good Voice (Gordon Tootoosis) asks Robert to defend his childhood friend forcing him to finally choose between his carefully built world of corporate success and the needs and traditional values of his native people.nn$7

Her music can be described as pop melodies layered with acoustic guitar and unconditional sincerity. Her songs are about capturing moments that might otherwise go unnoticed.nwww.myspace.com/livinginpolaroidsnnJACOB JOHNSONnHailing from upstate South Carolina\, Jacob Johnson is a one-of-a-kind solo acoustic performance artist who specializes in a style of guitar playing he calls \\"Neo-acoustic folk/funk\\". In his short career he has already shared the stage with the likes of The Steel String Theory\, Dave Matthews collaborator Tim Reynolds\, and even funk maestro Robert Randolph. In live performances\, his off-the-cuff sense of humor and tongue-in-cheek sensibility disarm the audience and leave them completely unprepared for the multilayered guitar masterworks he unleashes. Jacob thumps\, taps\, and slaps his acoustic guitar into submission\, weaving a musical tapestry that usually climbs to sonic frenzy whilst never losing its balance or control. His lyrics\, thoughtful and realistic\, are delivered with the wry sort of charisma that makes you wonder if he isn't just making it all up as he goes. And sometimes he is.nwww.myspace.com/JacobJohnsonnnCALAMUSnAn acoustic trio from the heart of Park Slope\, Brooklyn.
