On Jan. 10, Music Center president and CEO Rachel S. Moore announced the addition of dance curator and producer Martin Wechsler as a senior advisor for TMC Arts Dance presentations.

“Martin Wechsler has his finger on the pulse of the dance world and knows what’s happening before it even happens. He scouts the world looking for what’s next,” Moore said. “He has extensive knowledge of the world’s renowned dance companies and has long and deep relationships within the dance world.”

A dance curator, producer, administrator and educator, Wechsler began his career with the Joyce Theater as an administrative assistant and grew to become the organization’s director of programming, a role he held for more than 20 years before stepping down in 2017. He was also responsible for programming Joyce Theater Foundation presentations at other venues, including the David H. Koch Theater at Lincoln Center and in public parks throughout New York City.

“I look forward to contributing to TMC Arts’ engagement approach as we curate the work of local, national and international dance companies and strive to enrich the cultural lives of all Angelenos,” Wechsler said.

Since leaving the Joyce, Wechsler has pursued a number of independent projects, including serving as the associate producer of the 2019 and 2020 Fall for Dance Festival at New York City Center.
