Photos from "EDGED" and "LOSS"

This year, The Ume Group Ensemble launched a brand new series of "Social Action Projects." These solo or group performances/installations are the brainchild of each individual Ensemble member and reflect issues about which they deeply care.  

November saw the premiere of the series with Yokko's "EDGED" a site-specific group butoh performance both in Times Square and at Grace & St. Paul's Church reflecting on issues of immigration, borders, and identity.  On December 13, Byron Hagan performed his piece "LOSS" a meditation on victims of gun violence, by sitting in Union Square and encouraging passers-by to write the names of loved ones lost to gun violence on his body.  Below are photos from both events.

EDGED (collaboration between Vanessa Teran & Yokko) 


Arbitrary lines divide lands. Imaginary lines divide people. Based on those lines we create territories and dwell in them. They demarcate which place to call home, which place to inhabit and also, where you are not welcome. Some can move freely, others discreetly and others are welcome to *stay* where they *belong* and not move. Is a territory a safe space or a restraining one? Can it be both? Are these lines "The edges" that constrain us? EDGED is an invitation to question political and mental territories.

Created by Vanessa Teran & Yokko

Choreographed by Yokko

Performed by Jordan Rosin, Karina Sindicich, Ariel Lauryn, Jorge Luna, Jennifer Marinelli, Sarah McAfee, Yokko

JORDAN & THE HUMAN: REBIRTH OF THE BODY
In homage to Tatsumi Hijikata, the founder of butoh, Jordan Rosin (Producing Artistic Director, The Ume Group) invokes the spirit of his grandfather James Bonneau and the very words he used to tell his most poignant stories from WWII. Drawing on clown, PopAction, dramatic acrobatics, and butoh dance, Jordan invites us on a journey into memory and the deeply disenfranchised condition of the modern human body.

CREATIVE TEAM
JORDAN ROSIN .............. Creator / Performer
ROBIN DILL ...................Sound Design Assistant / Sound & Lightboard Operator
SONAL CHHUGANI............Research Assistant

Special Thanks to Lynn Bonneau, author of "There Was A Boy: The story of James Elwood Bonneau and the people who loved him."
