Chinese American choreographer Yue Yin and her YYDC troupe brings her original movement vocabulary, the FOCO Technique, to Chelsea Factory June 8-10 in the world premiere of Nowhere. The seventy-five-minute work unfolds in an unknown time and place, exploring uncertainty and disconnectedness. It will be performed by Liane Aung, Joan Dwiartanto, Alexsander Swader, Kristalyn Gill, Grace Whitworth, Nat Wilson, Corinne Lohner, and DaMond LeMonte Garner, with live music by composer and percussionist Alexandre Dai Castaing featuring Julia Kent on cello and prerecorded vocals by Brussels-based mezzo-soprano Emilie Tack. The set is by Andrew Boyce, with lighting by Solomon Weisbard and costumes by Christine Darch. YYDC’s previous work includes The Disappearing Element of Existing, Through the Fracture of Light, Vanishing Point, Stones and Kisses, and Ripple, a gorgeous piece created during the pandemic and presented at the 92nd St. Y and online.
