Written and Directed by Rebekah Lane
Devising Ensemble: Yakima Rich, Liam Watkins, and Kasper Cergol
Photography by Barry Kirsch; Video by Chris Ferrera
This is a 55 minute performance.
Untitled #52 is an inquiry into mindfulness, devised using the combined techniques of Viewpoints and William Forsythe's improvisational technologies. What is mindfulness? What does it promise that is absent from American life? Together, we explore these questions through images, sounds, and moments. This movement performance will slow down time while you indulge in your personal interpretation of mindfulness.
