Co.ERASGA streams the Spring Studio Salon via Facebook at 5 pm on April 17 and 18
CHECK OUT the eclectic foursome presenting innovative new work in two Co.ERASGA salon events streaming live from the East Side’s What Lab Studios this weekend.
The Spring Studio Salon Series gives you a peek at what’s been cooking this season with a quartet of dance artists, Saturday and Sunday at 5 pm via the Facebook page here. Each showing is followed by a talkback with the performers and Co.ERASGA artistic director Alvin Erasga Tolentino.
First up on April 17, Tin Gamboa and Salome Nieto unveil new work. Filipina artist Gamboa shares interdisciplinary research inspired by Filipino lullabies, cinema, and children's games in relation to the body's senses. Meanwhile, Nieto, whose interdisciplinary work draws on Mexican surrealism and butoh, unveils the work-in-progress Impermanent flower.
The next evening, in a pre-dinner show at the same time, Taiwanese-Canadian multimedia artist Sammy Chien joins forces with fellow Chimerik Collective member Caroline MacCaull on a new genre-defying new work, while Jeanette Kotowich, an independent dance artist and choreographer of Cree, Métis, and European ancestry, shows some of her explorations from a new full-length piece called Kisiskâwican.
