NCCAkron and The University of Akron School of Dance, Theatre, and Arts Administration announce the fifth year of 21st Century Dance Practices, a capsule series of classes taught by working dance artists.
"Oh, the performance has started," Allie Hankins said, interrupting our conversation. She didn't point, gesture, or treat the situation with immediacy, so I turned my head to find Takahiro Yamamoto in the crowd. NOTHINGBEING's choreographer / "instigator" stood in a throng of masked, golden hour-lit TBA festival attendees. They chatted in little clumps, in the courtyard outside the Annex—the smaller performance hall on PICA's north facing side. No one seemed to have noticed the performer.
The National Center for Choreography - Akron will welcome the fourth cohort of the Creative Administration Research (CAR) program. Four new CAR Artist Teams include lead artists Edgar L. Page (Denver, CO), Jamal Oliver and Brandon Calhoun (Chicago, IL), Takahiro Yamamoto (Portland, OR), and Umi IMAN Siferllah-Griffin (Atlanta, GA).
