Naganuma Dance founder and artistic director Darcy Naganuma, a half-Japanese choreographer who was born and raised in Hawaii and is based in New York City, presents the world premiere of the internationally flavored NOUVEAU AMERICAIN, a series of vignettes that examine the changing fabric of American life in these turbulent times, seen from within and without. The evening-length piece, which was researched in Morocco, India, Ireland, Costa Rica, and other spots around the globe, features a score by Aaron Johnston of the Brazilian Girls, action lighting and visual composition by Amsterdam-based Pierre Mansire, contributions from cartoonist Edward Koren, and costumes by Camilla Chuvarsky. The November 21 show is a benefit ($35) at which Brazilian Girls Didi Gutman and Johnston will be performing live.
