DESCRIPTION:Sep 12\, 2026\nThe Beach Sessions is the perfect name for this 
 annual rite at summer’s end\, a long\, wind-whipping ferry ride from Man
 hattan: session for serious institutional bodies (court\, psychoanalysis\,
  schools of art)\; beach for when they play hooky. Over its 11-year tenure
 \, the commissioned choreographers for the one-day outing have been dedica
 ted experimentalists\, which means they recognize the obstreperous gulls a
 nd indifferent beachgoers\, creeping tide and inconstant sun\, as part of 
 the overall design. The environments that this year’s chosen\, Alexa Wes
 t\, is in the practice of “treating as choreographic partners” are mor
 e likely to be made than found: galleries\, not tidepools. West is a cofou
 nder of Pageant. Anointed by The New York Times and now MoMA\, this hot\, 
 young\, East Williamsburg performance space is the artistic spawn of Sarah
  Michelson—same cool veneer\, meticulous cultivation of ticky-tacky\, an
 d bright attention to performance as ritual torture or\, for this Gen-Z co
 hort\, spectacular compulsion. How will urbane anomie blend with sun and s
 and? Show up to find out. The performance is at six P.M.
