Choreographer Yasuko Yokoshi will develop a new solo BELL Unplugged, a reflection on her evening length group work BELL, which had its New York premiere in March 2013 at New York Live Arts. Yokoshi revisits that production to explore the severe, often unspoken cultural codes of Japanese traditional dance, showing what is revealed through “unplugged” performance. During her residency, Yokoshi will also give several showings of her new HD video work Hangman Takuzo, to be developed into a larger piece titled Suspension ZERO ONE in 2014.
