Naganuma Dance Premieres
Nouveau Americain
in collaboration with Grammy-nominated artists and cartoonist Edward
Koren of The New Yorker
Joyce SoHo, November 19-22, 2009
Changes abound in our groundbreaking new presidency and shifting demographic landscape. Nouveau Americain , a collection of vignettes by choreographer Darcy Naganuma and her troupe of virtuosic, international performers, was inspired by this time of renewal and reinvention, and culminates a project inviting people from six continents to “write, draw, or photograph” musings on life, liberty, Americans, and the pursuit of happiness.
A team of renowned collaborators joins Naganuma Dance for this world premiere, including cartoonist Edward Koren of The New Yorker and the Grammy-nominated Brazilian Girls’ Aaron Johnston and Didi Gutman, who will perform live at the company’s benefit performance on November 21. Nouveau Americain also features action lighting/visual composition by Amsterdam- based maestro Pierre Mansire. The rich and varied life/movement perspectives of the cast, the multilingual, genre-hopping musical score, and Pierre Mansire’s uncanny ability to transform and distort space will make for an unforgettable gathering.

I’m amazed, I must say. Seldom do I enctenour a blog that’s equally educative and entertaining, and let me tell you, you’ve hit the nail on the head. The problem is something that too few men and women are speaking intelligently about. I am very happy I came across this in my hunt for something relating to this.
