Wanton performance artist Ann Liv Young’s most recent alter ego, the homespun psychologist Sherry, confronts extremes of personality– tonight Sherry, who shares, is paired with her opposing (though not opposed) character, Mary, who marries. Dancer Jen Rosenblit and C. Spencer Yeh come together for a collaborative set.
Video excerpt from Jen Rosenblit and Jules Gimbrone's "Pastor Pasture", which premiered at ISSUE on May 11th 2012, as part of our Emerging Artists Commissioning program.
Jen Rosenblit and Jules Gimbrone in conversation about Pastor Pasture, a 2012 Emerging Artists Commission, premiered at ISSUE May 11, 2012.
"Pastor Pasture" is a revolving expanse of glory and shame. Through research into aural and visceral structures, this work harnesses the performers in all its queerness–as soft, ecstatic, plural, unknown and full of desire.
ISSUE Project Room is pleased to announce Emerging Artists Commissions for 2012: Michelle Boule, Che Chen, Jen Rosenblit and Jules Gimbrone, Matthew Papich, and Cauleen Smith.
