Amanda will give an early World Premiere of Pamela Z’s new work for Forward Music Project 3.0 as part of The Park Avenue Armory’s 100 Years | 100 Women Celebration of Commissions! This work is commissioned in part by National Sawdust.
Park Avenue Armory, with lead partner National Black Theatre, has invited ten New York City-based cultural institutions to join 100 Years |100 Women, a two-part, multidisciplinary initiative marking the centennial of the ratification of the 19th Amendment. Together, this cohort of institutions—which includes the Apollo Theater; The Juilliard School; La MaMa Experimental Theatre Company; The Laundromat Project; The Metropolitan Museum of Art; Museum of the Moving Image; National Sawdust; New York University (Department of Photography and Imaging, Tisch School of the Arts; Office of Global Inclusion, Diversity and Strategic Innovation; and Institute of African American Affairs & Center for Black Visual Culture); and Urban Bush Women—is commissioning one hundred artists who self-identify as women to respond to this significant anniversary. The culminating event—a large gathering, showcase, and celebration of the commissions—will take place on May 16, 2020, in the Armory’s Wade Thompson Drill Hall and historic rooms.
