Nina Winthrop, Amanda Loulaki, and a tribute to Nancy Topf

Nina Winthrop, Amanda Loulaki, and a tribute to Nancy Topf

Constraints IV is a new interpretation of a previous work expressing the constraints faced by women in Japanese culture. The original work was created with dancers Yoko Hayashi, Shoko Kashima, Chico Katsube and Kunie Suzuki during a one month residency at Tokyo's Morishita Studio, with support from Asian Cultural Council and Saison Foundation.

 

Space Walk (Objects In Space) is inspired by the work of the late teacher, dancer and choreographer, Nancy Topf.  This particular manifestation was developed in 2000, soon after her death, in a workshop that took place in Miami and Mexico by a group of her students, including Hetty King, Helena Thevenot and several others, along with musicians Jon Gibson and Pepe Navarro.  These performances can be considered excerpts from some of the ideas developed in this original workshop production.  

 

A new piece choreographed and performed by Amanda Loulaki will complete the evening.

A dancer in a black tutu and leotard and pointe shoes stands on one leg, with the other leg extended behind the body in a straight line. One arm is raised above the head and the other extended to the back parallel to the extended leg. The school director is opposite the dancer and wears a red DTH logo t-shirt and black pants and ballet slippers. She holds the hand of the arm raised above the dancer’s head with one arm and her back arm is extended and she is smiling at the student.
