Solar One’s Tamar Rogoff in the NYTimes
Wednesday, November 25th, 2009Tamar has been with Solar One since its inception, and has long been the inspiration behind our connection between the arts and the environment. In addition to being one of the longest tenured members of the Solar One staff, she is also a choreographer with a long history of acclaimed work. For more of her bio, look here or here.
Now, in today’s New York Times, Tamar’s latest piece – “Diagnosis of a Faun” – is featured on the front page of the Arts section. The article discusses the genesis of the piece and the transformations it has created in the life of Gregg Mozgala, an actor with cerebral palsy who has connected with his body in new and unexpected ways as a result of his work with Tamar in preparing the piece. It’s an interesting look at the creative process for what should be an engaging and entertaining performance.
“Diagnosis of a Faun” plays at La Mama Theater in the East Village on Thursdays-Sundays from December 3 – 20. More information and tickets available here. Congratulations to Tamar for her achievement and recognition!
