Time Out says

The intimate space, once a cinema, is a fine setting for dance. Of the 472 seats at the Joyce, there’s not a single bad one. Companies and choreographers who present work here, including Ballet Hispanico, David Parsons and Doug Varone, tend to be more conventional than experimental. The Joyce also hosts out-of-town crowd-pleasers like Pilobolus Dance Theatre. During the summer, when many theaters are dark, the Joyce continues its programming. At the Joyce Soho, emerging companies present work nearly every weekend. • Other location: Joyce Soho, 155 Mercer St between W Houston and Prince Sts (212-431-9233). Subway: B, D, F, M to Broadway–Lafayette St; N, R to Prince St; 6 to Bleecker St. $15–$20. Cash only.

What’s on

Trisha Brown Dance Company

Trisha Brown's company soldiers on after the 2017 death of its founder. Its new bill at the Joyce includes Time again, a commissioned dive into questions of visibility and invisibility, newly created for the company by Australia's Lee Serle in collaboration with visual artist Mateo López and composer-soundscapist Alisdair Macindoe. The program also freatures two loose, silky pieces from Brown's Unstable Molecular Structure cycle: Opal Loop/Cloud Installation #72503 (1980), performed amid "fog sculptures" by Japan's Fujiko Nakaya, and Son of Gone Fishin’ (1981), set to excerpts from all three parts of Robert Ashley's opera Atalanta (Acts of God).

Gibney Company

New York's own contemporary dance outfit Gibney Company, which has expanded its reach significantly in the 2020s, returns to the Joyce with a three-piece suite: the world premiere of postmodern-dance doyenne Lucinda Childs's Three Dances (for prepared piano) John Cage, inspired by Cage's 1944-45 ballet composition; and the company premieres of Peter Chu’s Echoes of Sole and Animal, which draws from traditional Chinese movement philosophies and practices, and Roy Assaf’s A Couple, a duet set to piano works by Brahms.
