And lose the name of action is a new performance in development by Miguel Gutierrez and the Powerful People, featuring Gutierrez, Michelle Boulé, Hilary Clark, Luke George, K.J. Holmes and Ishmael Houston-Jones. Inspired by discoveries in neuroscience and paranormal phenomena, and drawing on the mysterious logic of improvisation, this new piece pushes Gutierrez’s persistent questions about the wonder of living with an ephemeral body into the beyond.
Miguel Gutierrez and the Powerful People will begin at 2:30PM.
(glowing), which will premier at EMPAC in April 2012, is presented as work-in-process in its early development. (glowing) is inspired by the Japanese writer Junichiro Tanizaki's essay "In Praise of Shadows" that illustrates illusory images and beauty of darkness found in old Japanese houses. Two dancers from Ethiopia and Senegal will join the group in January 2012. The group will explore commonalities between African dance and Yamazaki’s somatic practice, “Fluid Technique,” which was developed with influences in Butoh and Noguchi Gymnastics.
Kota Yamazaki and performers will begin at 4:30PM.
