- FOUR STARS "The building exerts a strange pull over its visitors" — Helen Shaw, Time Out New York
- "I don't want to give anything away, on the off chance that you squeeze in...I'd recommend simply wandering until they come for you. And don't worry, they'll come for you. They always come for you." — Scott Brown, NY Magazine

I Am Saying Goodnight by Amanda Loulaki & Short Mean Lady
"She is certainly intense, and she is certainly talented." - John Rockwell, The New York Times

A pre-decided game, with an intense physical vocabulary, unfiltered emotions, and an unflinching embrace of fatalism.

"One of the most genial survivors of the eighties avant-garde" - The New Yorker
Ishmael Houston-Jones, whose intensely physical improvisations have been a staple of New York's contemporary dance scene for over three decades, sparked controversy in 1986 at Performance Space 122 with THEM. Made in collaboration with Dennis Cooper (text) and Chris Cochrane (music), this incendiary work addressed some of the many ways men could be with men.
As part of PS122's 30th Anniversary Season, this ground-breaking piece is back and investigating its continuing relevance to dance and to social discourse in 2010.
