Mina Nishimura
Danspace Project
February 1 - 3

Tokyo-born and New York-based choreographer and performer  Nishimura returns to Danspace Project after her last commission in 2015, Celery of Everything.  For her return, she will premiere Bladder Inn (and X, Y, Z, W) performed by Nishimura with Martita Abril, Jonathan Burkland, Lydia Chrisman, Samuel Hanson, Suiso Ogawa, Ilana Stuelpner, and Niko Tsocanos, and “…created in conversation with an original text of the same title, developed by Nishimura with the intention of finding languages that evoke specific internal landscapes while investigating the space between meanings and symbols. The work invites both audiences and performers to consider peripheral spaces of architecture, perception, and sound specific to the architecture of St. Mark's Church. "The specific architecture of St. March Church will contain the work in the physical space and protect performers from wandering away," explains Nishimura. Blurring the boundaries between inner and outer space, visible and invisible presences, and images and abstract forms, Bladder Inn (and X, Y, Z, W) hosts what Nishimura calls "a slippery journey and fleeting fantasy of wandering bodies," according to the release.  Find out more here
