For tickets, click HERE Fly-by-Night Dance Theater announces The Amelia Project, Phase II to be presented at The Flea Theater June 19-22, 2008. This is the final phase of Fly-by-Night's two-year project inspired by Amelia Earhart and other early aviators. Performances will feature floor-to-ceiling dance accompanied by Ken Pierson's piano and percussion score played live and Fred Hatt's video projections that include the use of aerial cameras, allowing the audience to view the world from within, above, and below the trapeze. Emotionally the work portrays Earhart’s fearlessness (one solo is done blindfolded), and the passion of early aviators to put themselves in the air at all costs. Project Schedule Performances: FREE Pre-performance Workshop Admission: Fly-by-Night’s Artistic Director Julie Ludwick has had her work performed throughout the United States and in many New York venues such as: Dance Theater Workshop, PS 122, The Kitchen, and Dixon Place. Her work for theater has been performed at Lincoln Center’s Avery Fisher Hall (with Mapou Productions How Papa Noel Saved Haiti) and at the University of Missouri’s Graduate Theater Department (The Circus Show). Ludwick's choreographic projects have received repeated support from the Lower Manhattan Cultural Council, The Puffin Foundation, and Meet the Composer, Inc. She and Fly-by-Night have also received funding from The New York Foundation for the Arts, Fleet Bank and The Jerome Foundation. She offers workshops in improvisational trapeze-dance for adults in Brooklyn and the JCC in Manhattan and teaches freelance at colleges and schools in the New York area.

Funding has also been made possible by the Puffin Foundation.
