Some are members of his contemporary dance troupe, Garth Fagan Dance, which returns Tuesday to the Joyce Theater. Others belong to the choreographer's network of family and friends. Significantly they all like to use the telephone, and when Fagan is busy and he can't/won't pick up the receiver, they leave messages on his answering machine.”

“Pianist William Chapman Nyaho will perform works by Ludovic Lamothe, Bongani Ndodana, Coleridge-Taylor Perkinson and Florence Price, which together with the voicemails form a layered score.”  [Full Post]  [William Chapman Nyaho, Ludovic Lamothe, Bongani Ndodana, Coleridge-Taylor Perkinson and Florence B.
