2013 New York Dance and Performance "Bessie" award winner for Outstanding Emerging Choreographer, Joanna Kotze presents a work-in-progress of her new interdisciplinary dance performance What will we be like when we get there. The piece is created and performed by Kotze and long-time collaborators dancer/choreographer Netta Yerushalmy, visual artist Jonathan Allen and composer/musician Ryan Seaton. Treating various locations as collaborators, the work explores physical, emotional and artistic spectrums while reflecting on the desire for intimacy and greater impact - on place, people, and each other. As our lives continue to be dependent on and are driven by media, Kotze is interested in bringing attention to our humanness - our desires, flaws, strengths and fantasies - through a multi-disciplinary lens. The full evening-length production of What will we be like when we get there will premiere at New York Live Arts, March 28-31, 2018.
New York Live Arts' Live Feed, a creative residency program supporting the development of new work, is one the three development programs offered by the organization. Informal public showings followed by a discussion with the artists, offer a sneak peek into each resident artists' process and ideas before they hit the stage. The 2016-2018 Live Feed artists are DANCENOICE, Jack Ferver, Joanna Kotze, Paloma McGregor, and Walter Dundervill. WHAT: Work-in-progress showing of What will we be like when we get thereVideos
