On October 27th at the Gibney Dance Center, I had the great joy of attending Sorry I Missed Your Show!, a very informative series presentation of a past show of EYE ON DANCE, and discussion by former members of the New York City Ballet Company and moderated by Celia Ipiotis, the creator, producer, and moderator of the nationally recognized culture series EYE ON DANCE & The Arts and EYE ON THE ARTS.
Gibney Dance and Dance/NYC have jointly developed Sorry I Missed Your Show! as a "second chance" to view works by both emerging and established choreographers, as well as a forum for artists and their audiences to revisit them from fresh perspectives.
Video screenings will be followed by thoughtful discussions and reconsiderations led by some of the great minds of the contemporary dance world.

Ms. Ipiotis began her professional career as a ballet and modern dancer and choreographer. She became intrigued with the creative potential inherent in the mixing of video and dance while completing a BFA in DANCE at Ohio State University and MA in Media Studies at New School for Social Research. The recipient of choreographic fellowships, she performed with the Dayton Ballet, founded and directed the Living Arts Dance Company and held numerous artist-in-residence positions in school districts throughout the United States.
In 1976, Ms. Ipiotis began collaborating with the pioneering videodance artist Jeff Bush, creating a body of videodance works. In 1981, they launched EYE ON DANCE & The ARTS in an effort to propel dance literacy. Together with Bush, Ipiotis initiated model programs and services in the field of video and dance, directed the Dance Television Workshop at Harvard and other universities, taught courses on video production and the arts and lectured and served on advisory committees. Their award-winning videodance productions and educational programs have been exhibited at Worlds' Fairs, major cultural institutions such as Lincoln Center and film/video festivals around the world.
