Nicky Paraiso in The New York Times

The New York Times' Gia Kourlas spoke to La MaMa's Nicky Paraiso about curating the La MaMa Moves! Dance Festival, his own recent show at La MaMa, now my hand is ready for my heart: intimate histories, and the idea of curating as "curing."

“I just don’t believe in neutral,” Ms. Pyle said in an interview after a recent rehearsal. “I want to use this form to show that people are still carrying these subconscious judgments and ideas about how we should behave in relation to each other, how we should look and move, and what’s possible and what’s allowed.”
