The Café Royal Cultural Foundation NYC has awarded a 2025 Fall Performance Grant to Stacy Grossfield for “metamorphosis III episode 4”.

Stacy Grossfield has created dance in NYC since 2003. She is the recipient of a 2025 NYSCA Support for Artists Grant and was a 2019 Bessie Award nominee for Outstanding Breakout Choreographer. Stacy's recent work, metamorphosis 2, was presented at The Chocolate Factory Theater in March 2024. It ran for 12 performances. Her previous work, metamorphosis, was presented at The Kitchen in the Dance and Process series in April 2019; and was remounted at In The Works (January 2020).

Built from a place of rigor and experimentation, Metamorphosis III serves as the capstone to Stacy Grossfield’s six-year performance trilogy. The work delves into the choreographic treatment of the insidiousness of white feminism and its relationship to tyrannical nationalism. Grossfield pushes her surreal storytelling into ambitious new terrain by integrating an alt-rock band, state-of-the-art special effects, and live video.  While previous installments received commissioning support from The Chocolate Factory and The Kitchen.  This final chapter is a fully independent production housed at Collapsable Hole.

metamorphosis III is a 4 episode work. Episodes 1, 2, & 3 were presented at Collapsable Hole in Aug., Sept., Oct. 2025.

Grossfield’s other works include hot dark matter presented by JACK, Fur & Tulle, and Red, Pink, Black. She received a 2023 Parent Artist Space Grant at BAX and four Foundation for Contemporary Arts Emergency Grant 2016/2019/2021/2024), and a Manhattan Community Arts Fund grant (2013) for Red, Pink, Black. Grossfield has shown her work at 92Y, BAX, BRIC Studio, CPR, CATCH, DTW, Food for Thought at Danspace Project, Movement Research at the Judson Church, Roulette, and through AUNTS at various venues including NADA Art Fair and the New Museum. She holds a BFA in Dance from SUNY Purchase.
