Director Sam Mendes directs a transatlantic company of actors in a double-bill of classic works for The Bridge Project's inaugural 2009 season, which pairs a new version of The Cherry Orchard by Tom Stoppard with Shakespeare's The Winter's Tale. A formidable transatlantic company and creative team will create these two new productions for six internationally renowned theaters. Simon Russell Beale leads the British/American cast, playing Lopakhin in The Cherry Orchard and Leontes in The Winter's Tale. He is joined by Sinead Cusack as Madame Ranevskaya and Paulina, Richard Easton as Firs and Old Shepherd, Rebecca Hall as Varya and Hermione, Josh Hamilton as Yasha and Polixenes, Ethan Hawke as Trofimov and Autolycus, and Paul Jesson as Gaev and Camilo.
The Bridge Project is a unique series of co-productions from Brooklyn Academy of Music (BAM), The Old Vic, and Neal Street Productions. Each year a single British/American company will perform a double-bill of classic works at BAM and at The Old Vic, and make several international visits. In year one, the company will travel to Auckland, Singapore, Madrid, Recklinghausen, and Epidaurus.
The Bridge Project is presented by Bank of America and produced by Kevin Spacey for The Old Vic, Joseph V. Melillo and Karen Brooks Hopkins for BAM, and Caro Newling for Neal Street Productions. The project places the exchange of ideas, talent, and creativity between London and New York at the heart of the process, and is borne out of Sam Mendes', Joseph V. Melillo's, and Kevin Spacey's shared desire to produce large-scale, classical theater for international audiences.
Rehearsals for The Cherry Orchard and The Winter's Tale commence this month in Brooklyn. The plays will run at BAM from January _March 2009 then embark on an international tour, taking residencies at The Singapore Repertory Theatre, in Auckland at THE EDGEÔÎ Performing Arts Centre, in Madrid at Teatro Espaê±ol de Madrid, and in Germany at Ruhrfestspiele Recklinghausen before arriving for a season of both plays in rep at The Old Vic from May _August 2009. The 2009 dates will conclude at Epidaurus, Greece as part of the Athens & Epidaurus Festival.

"_ã_ stunningly flexible limbs and spines, deeply grounded movement, explosive bursts and a vitality that grabs a viewer by the collar _ã_": The New York Times
Israel's Batsheva Dance Company and artistic director/choreographer Ohad Naharin ascend to a new level of intensity with Max, a riveting exploration of the pains and pleasures of being alive. Naharin challenges the body's limits, always pushing his dancers to risk more. Set to an original score by Maxim Waratt, the movement veers from clenched and concentrated to lush and expansive. Described by The Jerusalem Post as "an evening to remember," Max's power lies in the accumulation of images and emotions, gathering steam through the juxtaposition of bodies in motion and at rest, alone and together.
Since its founding in 1964 by Martha Graham and Baroness Batsheva De Rothschild, Batsheva Dance Company has become one of the most influential cultural institutions in Israel. The appointment of Ohad Naharin as Artistic Director in 1990 honed Batsheva's mission: to strengthen common human values through the power of creativity. A compact yet dynamic organization, Batsheva presents over 200 performances a year in Israel, as well as across the world's most renowned theaters and festivals. Batsheva's artistic innovation has earned the company its reputation as one of the world's most sought-after companies: a beacon on the global map of performing arts. Batsheva appeared most recently at BAM during the 2007 Next Wave Festival with Three.

Artist Talk with Trevor Carlson (Executive Director, Merce Cunningham Dance Company) and artists
April 17, post-show (free for same day ticket-holders)
The Merce Cunningham Dance Company returns to BAM in celebration of the revered choreographer's 90th birthday. The program features the U.S. premiere of a dazzling evening-length work created in collaboration with indie rock legends Sonic Youth, former Led Zeppelin bassist John Paul Jones, and mixed-media sound composer Takehisa Kosugi. With an intriguing, multi-tiered d_cor by world-renowned architect Benedetta Tagliabue, lighting by Tony and Obie Award-winning designer Brian MacDevitt, and costumes by Romeo Gigli, this work underscores the eternal imagination of an artist on the cusp of his ninth decade.
Merce Cunningham has always tested boundaries, explored new territories, and questioned his surroundings. From the formation of his company in the early 1950s at the artist colony Black Mountain College, to the beginning of the 21st century, he has remained a leading force in American contemporary culture. From his early collaborations with artists Robert Rauschenberg and Jasper Johns, as well as his long association with composer John Cage, to his work in the late 1990s with digital artists Shelley Eshkar and Paul Kaiser, Merce Cunningham has significantly shaped public perception of contemporary dance.
Born in Centralia, Washington, Merce Cunningham received his first formal dance and theater training at the Cornish School (now Cornish College of the Arts) in Seattle. From 1939 to 1945, he was a soloist in Martha Graham's company. During that time, he began to choreograph independently, presenting his first New York solo concert with John Cage in April 1944. In the summer of 1953, he founded the Merce Cunningham Dance Company, for which he has choreographed nearly 200 works to date. In 2000, the Library of Congress recognized Merce Cunningham as a Living Legend for the lasting contribution he has made in enriching our national heritage. Merce Cunningham Dance Company made the first of its many groundbreaking BAM appearances in 1954. The Company most recently appeared at BAM during the 2003 Next Wave Festival in celebration of its 50th anniversary season; the program featured the world premiere of Split Sides (featuring music by Radiohead and Sigur R‹s) and the N.Y. premiere of Fluid Canvas.

Following highly acclaimed and sold-out BAM engagements in 1997, 2001, and 2006, Sir Jonathan Miller's staging of Bach's glorious St. Matthew Passion returns as part of the BAM 2009 Spring Season. This casual-dress, English language production of St. Matthew Passion was described by The New York Observer as "the most exhilarating [and] most important musical and dramatic event to be seen hereabouts in some time_ã_the greatest piece of sacred music ever composed has been made new again." Paul Goodwin returns to conduct a renowned group of soloists including tenor Rufus M‹ller (Evangelist), bass Curtis Streetman (Jesus), mezzo-soprano Phyllis Pancella, soprano Suzie LeBlanc, countertenor Daniel Taylor, tenor Nils Brown, and baritone Stephen Varcoe.
One of the most frequently performed and recorded works of J.S. Bach, the St. Matthew Passion has been a highlight of concert seasons and festivals around the world for more than 150 years. Featuring original baroque instrumentation, Miller's stripped down production: without sets or costumes, and with minimal props: peels away traditional performance trappings and allows the work's core words, passion, and humanity to emerge.
Director Jonathan Miller's career spans many different fields: author, lecturer, television producer, and presenter, and director of theater, opera, and film. He has also directed operas for the English National Opera, La Scala, the Metropolitan Opera, the Vienna State Opera, the Royal Opera House at Covent Garden, and Glimmerglass Opera. In addition to 1997, 2001, and 2006 performances at BAM of St. Matthew Passion, Miller directed a production of Monteverdi's L'incoronazione di Poppea in 1996, Mozart's Cosê‘ fan tutte in 2003, and Cimarosa's Il matrimonio segreto in 2008. Miller's theatrical career has included many memorable productions: The Merchant of Venice with Sir Laurence Olivier and Joan Plowright, The Taming of the Shrew (Royal Shakespeare Company), The Seagull (Chichester Festival Theatre), A Long Day's Journey Into Night (Haymarket Theatre), and The Emperor (Royal Court). Most recently, Miller directed La Clemenza di Tito in Zurich, Don Pasquale at the Royal Opera House Covent Garden, and Cosê‘ fan tutte at Seattle Opera. Miller is also a medical doctor, a Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians, and Foreign Member of the American Academy of Arts and Science.
