BY ELIZABETH ZIMMER | New York Live Arts celebrates Women’s History Month and the centennial of the ratification of the 19th Amendment with a series of new works by award-winning female choreographers, starting this weekend with Kimberly Bartosik/daela’s through the mirror of their eyes, which has a score by Sivan Jacobovitz and an all-star cast including Joanna Kotze, Dylan Crossman, Burr Johnson, and three kids, including Dahlia Bartosik-Murray, Hunter Liss, and Winter Willis. Roderick Murray handles the lighting and set design, Quinn Czejkowski the costumes, and Melanie George the dramaturgy. Through Saturday, March 7, at 7:30pm.

Next in the series is Illinois-based Abby Zbikowski/Abby Z and the New Utility in RADIOACTIVE PRACTICE, which confronts and redefines various movement traditions including hip-hop, modern dance, West African, tap, synchronized swimming, and ice-skating. Raphael Xavier’s score also combines genres. Senegalese dancer Momar Ndiaye provides dramaturgy, and a cast of 10 brings these collisions alive. March 18-21 at 7:30pm.

Finally, Colleen Thomas Dance‘s light and desire addresses the question of how women hold, embody, and express power. Her piece features Venezuelan filmmaker Carla Forte, Hungarian dancer-choreographer Ildikó Tóth, Polish dance artist Joanna Lesnierowska, Greek-Albanian Ermira Goro, and American dancer, teacher, and filmmaker Rosalynde LeBlanc. See them all March 25-28 at 7:30pm.
