indē update

This month, I have been hard at work with Yoshiko Chuma and the School of Hard Knocks. As her production assistant, I have been purchasing props, taking notes during rehearsals, scheduling, and sending many emails and correspondences to those involved in the preparation of this project. In addition, I have also been involved in the rehearsal process and will be featured in the performance. It is a task-based, site-specific piece. Here's the info:

In this world-premiere commission renowned choreographer Yoshiko Chuma fuses live music, dance and performance to create a unique new work.
A-C-E ONE is a multidisciplinary site-specific spectacle that takes full advantage of the unique architectural features of LentSpace. Dancers and musicians are positioned strategically throughout the space, a limousine moves at a glacial pace through a horticultural installation as performers move in and around a sea of shredded paper. Expect to be surprised.
LentSpace is located in a downtown New York City block between Canal, Varick, Grand, and Sixth Avenue.
