Danspace Project
November 8 - 10
Bringing all-new work Coates and Phuon “…share aesthetic lineages through their work as members of Mikhail Baryshnikov's White Oak Dance Project and Yvonne Rainer and Group. This shared evening makes public a conversation that we began more or less ten years ago, when we both began to create our own work," Coates and Phuon say. "Over the years, we have discussed many aspects of moving from performer to choreographer-from the logistical to the lofty. We have talked about how to turn aesthetic influences into useful tools, and the ways our shared lineages play out very differently in our work, partly due to the differences in our backgrounds." Whereas Phuon's early training lies in Cambodian classical dance, Coates began her career at New York City Ballet. Coates with New York-based visual artist and MacArthur recipient, Josiah McElheny, will premiere A History of Light, and from Phuon, Bits & Pieces (Choreographic Donations) which “…looks backward and inward, narrating her personal journey through dance via Cambodia, France, New York, and Brussels with the help of 5 choreographers: Patricia Hoffbauer, David Thomson, Elisa Monte, Yvonne Rainer, and Vincent Dunoyer, notes the release.
