Premier of "Reframe the Framework DDD"

Thursday, Friday & Saturday, April 24, 25 & 26, 2008 @ 8PM

The Kitchen

512 West 19th Street, New York, NY

The Kitchen will present the premier of Yasuko Yokoshi's "Reframe the Framework DDD." Yokoshi embarked on this experimental dance project as one of VPL's 2006/2007 Lab Artists.  Working with a group of high school performers from the Brattleboro area, Yokoshi and the dancers have used David Gordon's "Framework" as a starting place to create a unique post-modern work that is both poignant and humorous.
