Kensaku Shinohara:
Good Bye
July 29 - 30, 2022
Choreographer/dancer Kensaku Shinohara shares a solo dance performance that reflects on sexuality, objectification, intimacy, dominance and boundaries. In this autobiographical piece, Shinohara traces the cultural shift in his moving from Japan to the U.S., the chaos and confrontation that he experienced, and the (literal) plunges he takes as he navigates the war zone of identity and physical collisions.
Curated by Stacy Grossfield as part of her Images // Landscapes series at JACK
