Thank you NY!!!

A big THANK YOU to all everyone in New York whom made my trip possible starting with:

Bennyroyce Ronon for bringing me to choreograph for the Chronos Project.

Thanks to my Dancers whom were amazing to work with and i hope that well be able to work again.

Thanks to Dance Theater Workshop for hosting the "Tweet Up" featuring my works and for being such an amazing space with even more amazing people working.

The biggest THANK YOU goes to everyone who came out to support me and my work. This time around I premiered the most honest piece of work that i have ever done which is very much a representation of me, which was scary to do...... I would not be here today if it was not for all of you encouraging me to keep doing what I'm doing. Very pleased to know that everyone thought that my work was "new/orginal and not trying to be like anyone else but inspired by everything". All of the kind words lets me know that Im on the right path and I wanna keep digging and getting evolving.

THANKS SO MUCH!!!!!

Chronos Teaser

Im very excited to announce that ill be part of this evening contributing a new work for the Chronos project which will explore the concept of time.


the shows will be in NYC this april 22-24th. More info later.

enjoy the video.

Please help support this new exciting project!

Everyone keeps talking about how exciting 2010 is gonna be and i am for sure in that boat. This year marks new beginnings for all of us moving into the new decade. Im very thrilled about the projects that i have lined up this year that will have me traveling a lot collaborating with other like minded artists and companies. My first stop will be in New York City which i am thrilled about. I will be sharing an evening of dance with some other new dance makers (trust me youll love the line up) and could not be more stoked (kinda scared too). Due to the economy we will be needing your support to help with our expenses and some of my travel so i can get into the city and do work.


I pasted the original message below off of FaceBook so that you will have more info about the other artist and what the evening is all about. Please help with whatever donation that you can make so that we can help take you away to another place. Even only if for a little while:)

Hello Friends & Colleagues,

I am writing to talk to you about a project I am currently producing here in New York City. CHRONOS is a shared evening of choreographic works on a theme of Time between four emerging dance makers: Brian Gibbs, Monique Meunier, Nilas Martins, and myself, Bennyroyce Royon.

"Our individual experiences of times is undoubtedly unique to each and one. Does time have a beginning or birth? Does time stand still? Could we ever achieve the fantasy of going back in time? And in our hyper active experience of 21st century living we never seem to have enough time."

Three evening performances in April (22, 23, 24) at the intimate Speyer Hall at University Settlement on the Lower East Side (184 Eldridge Street).

I am asking all my dear friends to help us raise $5000. You can help meet that goal by donating $20.

With your $20 contribution you can help us get 2 hours of rehearsal time to create work. All donations are tax deductible and you will receive a receipt to keep for your records. Also, your name will be printed on the program as an expression of our gratitude. If you are able to donate more... $100 can get us 10 hours of rehearsal time... and so on. Your support also goes towards salary support, administrative costs, rehearsal space rentals, costumes, artist and designer fees, etc.

I suggest donating online through our sponsor, Fractured Atlas. It is fast, easy, and secure. Here is the Link
