Recollections is a butoh inspired mediation on the last day in
the life of a homeless woman. Adapted in part from Mishima's Sotoba
Kamachi, this is a in depth look at the life of a woman who re-lives her
painful life daily. This urban exploration is as much about the weight of
living with lost love as it is about delving deeper into a womans life as
a homeless woman.
Blending the classical experimental
music of Eric Satie with The Rza and voice-over we are able to peer into
the beauteous hell of this womans life.

Oh, the Places We'll
Go... at
112
by Rebecca Whitehurst
112 West 44th Street Window
July 26 ? August 6, 2006, 12:30p & 5p daily
a Rebecca Whitehurst solo dance installation inspired by interviews of
NYC apartment dwellers, explores 4 different characters: their stories,
their spaces, and their philosophy on 'territory' in the city.
The sagas range from a
hilarious young man who lives in a piano-shaped room with a shower head
directly over his toilet, to an older woman who simply adores creative
space and so now resides in e.e.cumming's old row. The movement vocabulary
and use of space differs for each character, gestures interweave with
release and acrobatic choreography. Walls and windows are played with, as
Whitehurst embodies the varied thoughts and feelings on living space.
Passersby will be able to
hear the interviews, witness Whitehurst's accompanying performance,
and--if inclined--share their own stories by slips of paper and a box that
sit outside the window.
