Eiko - "A Body in Places"

Event Image
Saturday, July 11, 2015
7:00 pm - 8:00 pm

Eiko (who has danced for the past 40 years with her husband and creative partner Koma as the duo Eiko & Koma) is for the first time expanding into the realm of solo artist in "A Body in Places." Central to "A Body in Places" is Eiko's drive to explore non-traditional venues and respond to the innate characteristics of the specific place. The solo will be performed for very intimate audiences. These mini performances will offer a strange and intense experience that invites, almost forces, the viewer's gaze to engage the performer's gaze. Performing as a soloist, Eiko willfully partners with the particularities of places and viewers. This work also includes the photo exhibition "A Body in Fukushima" with photographs by William Johnston of Eiko in radiation-affected Fukushima. The photo exhibit takes place at Reynolds Industries Theater (June 11-July 25), Pleiades Gallery (June 14-July 25), and the Allenton Gallery and Semans Gallery at the Durham Arts Council (July 3-July 25).
