(Tipping Point) at Theaterlab

(Tipping) Point explores Yoko’s continued collaboration with wearable arts, as an essential part of the performance. Since 2018, Yoko has worked with Aileyan Accessories, a multi-generational millinery studio based in Bushwick, NY, in designing headpieces for movement performance. For this new project, she is expanding on her concept of the hat being a living sculpture, and building a multi-part performance for a one-night-only experience. The performance will feature live music by ÉMU aka Maria Takeuchi, and 2 additional movement artists Apollo Bual and Maki Kitahara. The live creation will occur in a 1 week residency that will take place at Theaterlab in December 2025, culminating in a performance installation on December 13, 2025. The audiences will be encouraged to wear their favorite hats or headpieces for the event.

(Tipping) Point is the 3rd and final installment of the 3-part residency project Point ____ (Blank) by Yoko Murakami at Theaterlab.This project is supported by the New York State Council on the Arts (NYSCA) through the Support for Artists Grant.
