    S303 Inside Dance - Aretha Aoki | Ryan MacDonald & Adrienne Taylor | Shura Baryshnikov

    This episode features dance and music collaborators who without each other their piece would not exist. We will begin with the piece, Two, with dancer, Shura Baryshnikov and cellist Adrienne Taylor, long term collaborators, that have drawn upon their creative history together to build a process focused on deep listening, observation, and response. Next we have the work: IzumonookunI is a dance inspired by Izumo no Okuni, founder of the Japanese dance-drama form, Kabuki—a form that currently contains little trace of its female-centric, grassroots origins. Choreographer Aretha Aoki and sound and visual designer Ryan MacDonald re-imagine Okuni as a punk rock/sci-fi figure in a landscape of built objects, digital design and live synthesizer. The piece touches on the tensions between erasure and hyper visibility and is an ode to the women in Aoki’s ancestry of whom little is known.
