A History of Unowned Dance: Bodies in Transmission
East Hall - Room 4448, 530 Church St, Ann Arbor, MI 48109
Free - no tickets required
A lecture by guest artist Yasuko Yokoshi, a choreographer, dancer, and filmmaker. This lecture examines how dance is transformed through embodied transmission rather than preserved as a fixed tradition. Drawing on more than three decades of artistic practice between New York and Japan, Yokoshi reflects on how choreography, Nihon Buyo, and Noh have continually reshaped her body and artistic practice. Through performance examples and the ongoing dojojiproject, the lecture considers transformation not as the opposite of the archive, but as the very condition through which dance survives.
