Vangeline Theater/New York Butoh Institute to Present THE SLOWEST WAVE at New City Center
The performance will take place on Saturday, August 16, 2025 at 6:30 p.m.
Vangeline Theater and New York Butoh Institute will present The Slowest Wave on Saturday, August 16, 2025 at 6:30 p.m. at New City Center. Tickets are $20.
The Slowest Wave is a solo Butoh work choreographed and performed by Vangeline, with an original score by Ray Sweeten. This repertory work highlights Vangeline's sculptural approach to Butoh, where stillness shapes the body into a living landscape. Her choreography resists softness, instead creating unexpected angular forms-triangles, arches, cranes-that transform the female body into architecture and living landscape. An award-winning project combining butoh and neuroscience supported by a 2022 National Endowment for the Arts Dance Award, The Slowest Wave explores the thematic of waves as a symbol of femininity and female sensuality.
The choreography was uniquely informed by the protocol established for a scientific pilot study researching the impact of butoh on brain activity. For the groundbreaking art-science study, dancers' brain activity was recorded at the University of Houston, Texas. Results were then disseminated in scientific journals.
