JOYCE DANCE THEATER Poster * FALL SEASON * NYC 2' x 3' Rare 2008 NEW : Large Color Poster for the New York City 2008 Fall Season at the Famed Joyce Dance Theater. The Joyce Theater is a 472-seat dance performance venue located in the Chelsea area of the borough of Manhattan in New York City. The Joyce Theater Foundation, the organization founded in 1982 that operates the theater, also owns the Joyce SoHo dance center located in a former firehouse on Mercer Street between Houston and Prince Streets.The Joyce is located in the former Elgin Theater, a 1941 revival movie house that was closed by the community after it became a porno theatre. The Elgin was completely renovated to create in the Joyce a venue suitable for dance, a process that took two years. The theater was conceived of and created by Eliot Feld and Cora Cahan as a home for the Feld Ballet, and continues to be owned by Ballet Tech Foundation Inc. The theatre attracts an audience of over 140,000 people annually. The Joyce was made possible financially in large measure due to the philanthropic efforts of LuEsther T. Mertz whose family founded Publishers Clearing House, the well known magazine and merchandise sweepstakes company. In appreciation of her generosity, the theater was named after her daughter, Joyce. The architect for the 1982 renovation/rehabilitation was Hardy Holzman Pfeiffer Associates. The theatre consultant was Jules Fisher Associates. The acoustical consultant was Peter George Associates. In 1996, The Joyce Theater Foundation purchased the Joyce SoHo. Once a three-story firehouse, Joyce SoHo is equipped with two dance studios for rehearsals—as well as a third space that doubles as studio and performance space, complete with 74 seats, lighting, and a box office. In 2001, the Stephen and Cathy Weinroth Fund for New Work was established. Through this fund, selected dance artists receive commissioning support ranging from $5,000 to $25,000 to create a work to be performed at The Joyce Theater. Additional grants of $1,000 to $5,000 may be made for works to be performed at Joyce SoHo. In 2005, the Foundation was among 406 New York City arts and social service institutions to receive part of a $20 million grant from the Carnegie Corporation, which was made possible through a donation by New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg. The Joyce hosts many of the world's most renowned and respected Dance Companies and Performers and is considered on the cutting edge of the Dance World in both it's ability to showcase premier talent , and innovative eclectic performances.
