Brooklyn Rail chats with Nicky Paraiso!


"Nicky’s new full-length work, now my hand is ready for my heart: intimate histories, is opening on March 22. I’ve been following its progress from the Kickstarter (I gave) and online. Nicky is my friend since we met serving on the Honorary Awards Committee for the NY Innovative Theatre Awards. He’s a writer, performer, and essential curator, mostly of dance work at La MaMa. His curatorial work has occupied him greatly the last two decades, and he felt the need to return to his own creative work. He’s made a piece that’s autobiographical, telling the stories of his life through word and dance."

Written by Nicky Paraiso 
Directed by John Jesurun 
With Nicky Paraiso, Irene Hultman, Jon Kinzel, Vicky Shick, Paz Tanjuaquio 

now my hand is ready for my heart: intimate histories is the newest work from Nicky Paraiso, an award-winning 40-year veteran of the New York City performance community. In a deep exploration of an artist’s life, Paraiso investigates aging, identity, sexuality, class and race. Directed by MacArthur Fellow John Jesurun, this world premiere is a multi-disciplinary celebration of an artistic community as it grows older and continues to make work, both individually and with each other. Paraiso is joined by choreographer / dancers Irene Hultman, Jon Kinzel, Vicky Shick, and Paz Tanjuaquio in performance and as collaborators.
