“In Yasuko Yokoshi’s BELL, East meets West — and almost everyone wins.” – New York Post
New York Live presents five more performances of inaugural Resident Commissioned Artist Yasuko Yokoshi’s BELL this week. Featuring a multidisciplinary cast of dancers and musicians from Japan and the U.S., BELL is a contemporary reimagining of the traditional Japanese dance Kyoganoko Musume-Dojyoji that also draws from the classical ballet canon, aligning Dojyoji with the widely popular ballet Giselle. Finding the iconographic plot on romance and tragedy that is a central theme in both of these works, Yokoshi radically juxtaposes the two in an attempt to re-contextualize our experience through the resultant collision and harmony.

Beasts and Plots

Beasts and Plots investigates what happens when Welliver’s figurative and nonfigurative worlds collide. Inspired by Matt Mullican’s Glen, Oskar Schlemmer’s seminars on linear figures, Rebecca Horn’s performance films and Paul Klee’s portrait works, Beasts and Plots is a semi-narrative work that explores the outline of a woman’s body, a death and the idea of a unicorn.
Apr 4 at 6:30 Come Early Conversation: Circles, Lines, Dogs with Ted Byfield (Associate Director of the Center for Transformative Media at the New School and Assistant Professor in the School of Art Media and Technology at Parsons the New School of Design)
Apr 5 Stay Late Discussion: Beasts and Plots with Kyle deCamp (performer, collaborator and creator of cross-media works, produced in NYC and abroad)

Australia’s Circa is world-renowned for its unique artistry—a distinctly 21st century circus that incorporates contemporary dance and virtuosic acrobatics, while discarding most of the trappings of traditional circus in favor of unmediated, emotionally rich choreography. Having stunned audiences with a self-titled show in 2011, Circa returns to New York with Wunderkammer, a sexy, funny and explosive cabinet of wonders featuring seven multi-talented artists. The new work is a breathtaking spectacle, full of sheer physical poetry.
