Miho Ryu | Lighthouse
Lighthouse is a delicate yet powerful piece where intricate choreography and raw improvisation interweave and resonate from the living bodies of dancers. Inspired by the symbol of a lighthouse—illuminating vast oceans and guiding vessels to safety—this work contemplates the light that dancers can offer to the world and seeks to approach the deeper truth of what it means to live. Originally from Tokyo, Miho Ryu has been based in New York since 2024, and is active as a dancer, choreographer, and teaching artist.
Nicole Kadar-Greene/NK&D/a movement company | between the balance
between the balance discusses the fragile equilibrium of the human self in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. The story is told through rhetorical and sometimes literal dialogue between dancers, composer (William Catanzaro), and audience communicating opposing ideas of balance/instability, weakness/strength, and wellness/illness. As the piece develops the dancers offer moments of hope and strength despite shifting imbalance/equilibrium within the world and in one’s self. The original work (October 2021 premiere, 55 minutes in length) was created for two audiences - a virtual, zoom audience and a live, in-person audience and utilized the same technological ideas seen in this version.
