Ayako Kato Co-MISSION Fellowship Premiere: stück 1998 / anchor 2018

Performance
Event Description

Reflecting upon choreographer Ayako Kato’s long history of groundbreaking collaborations with contemporary musicians, Art Union Humanscape has entered into a partnership with Swiss Wandelweiser composer Manfred Werder to kick off the company's 20th anniversary season. Working with a dancer, two musicians, and a singer/dancer Kato will embody 30 pages of Werder’s 4000-page score stück 1998. As the score is only allowed to be performed once, Kato will offer four different evenings of content, each evening presenting  a new segment of Werder’s composition and a new approach to it’s embodied interpretation.  

To prepare the audience mentally and emotionally for the meditative experience of stück 1998 / anchor 2018  and bring them into the rhythm of the work, each performance begins with an opening ceremony. Flower essence and herbal tea blended by urban ecologist Nance Klehm will be served.
