Modern dance and contemporary composition take on the energetic excitement of a sporting event in the electrifying “60x60 Dance.” This one-of-a-kind performance, where each minute of the hour features a new composer and a new choreographer, is the result of the artistic vision of Robert Voisey and Jeramy Zimmerman.

Jeramy Zimmerman/CatScratch Theatre is committed to bringing performance to unexpected places, thus helping the audience member to see her or his world in a slightly different way. Jeramy Zimmerman is a co-founder and the director of CatScratch Theatre. Her work for CatScratch Theatre has been performed on stages and in non-traditional places such as the Staten Island Ferry, In front of the New York City Stock Exchange, the Kennedy Center's Millennium Stage and Chateau Cazals in southeastern France. In early 2007, Jeramy met Rob Voisey of Vox Novus, which was in its fifth year of producing the 60x60 project. Sensing an exciting opportunity, the two decided to collaborate on the next 60x60. Jeramy Zimmerman/CatScratch Theatre brought together 60 choreographers to create dances for the 60 audio works. The performance was held in August 2007 at Jan Hus Presbyterian Church. It was immediately clear that the collaboration had been a success and plans were made to continue the project.

As a presenter and producer of new music, Robert Voisey is the Artistic Director of the 60x60 project, Co-Director of the Composer’s Voice Concert series, Vice President of Programs for the Living Music Foundation, and Founder of Vox Novus. Producing and presenting over 100 concerts in more than 10 countries around the world, he seeks innovative and creative approaches to promote the music of today's composers. "The idea of commissioning sixty pieces each a minute long has elements of both ingenuity combined with madness,” (Malcolm Miller, Music & Vision) Robert Voisey’s 60x60 concept has been hailed by the New York Times as the “kind of madness that makes the cultural world go round” (Roslyn Sulcas, New York Times)

"Arts World Financial Center is engaging the public like never before," said Arts World Financial Center's Executive and Artistic Director Debra Simon, who recently expanded the program to Brookfield Properties' buildings in Los Angeles. "For over two decades we've engaged and entertained the public with hundreds of free events in one of the world's grandest public spaces, the World Financial Center Winter Garden. At 20, it is only going to get better." Arts World Financial Center is sponsored by American Express, Battery Park City Authority, Brookfield Properties and Merrill Lynch.
