NOTHINGBEING | Takahiro Yamamoto
NOTHINGBEING is a project that investigates ways to embody the presence of nothingness and "being," breathing spaces that we could easily dismiss and considering possibilities for the unfiltered self. This project addresses the notion of nothingness and "being" from multiple modalities such as moments of highly physical movement, a communal meditation, and internal activation of sensory memories.
[POSTPONED] Freeway Dance | Ayaka Nakama
What is our first memory of dancing? To write and choreograph Freeway Dance, Japanese dancer Ayaka Nakama asked a number of people close to her to describe their first memory of themselves dancing. Nakama treats these memories as choreography in order to reconstruct these movements with her own body.

Joseph Keckler | Train With No Midnight

Elisa Harkins, Zoë Poluch, Hanako Hoshimi-Caines | Radio III / ᎦᏬᏂᏍᎩ ᏦᎢ
RADIO III / ᎦᏬᏂᏍᎩ ᏦᎢ is an indigenous futuristic concert, a beautiful and uncomfortable dance performance and a perverse triangle of shifting power that seeks to be unfaithful to both minimalism and postmodern dance’s claims to so-called “neutrality”.
