Eiko & Koma Eiko (female) and Koma (male) were law and political science students in Japan when, in 1971, they each joined the Tatsumi Hijikata company in Tokyo. Their collaboration began as an experiment and then developed into an exclusive partnership. They started to work as independent artists in Tokyo in 1972 and at the same time began to study with Kazuo Ohno, who along with Hijikata was the central figure in the Japanese avant-garde theatrical movement of the 1960s. Neither Eiko nor Koma studied traditional Japanese dance or theater forms, and have preferred to choreograph and perform only their own works. Their interest in Neue Tanz, the German modern dance movement which flourished alongside the Bauhaus movement in art and architecture, and their desire to explore non-verbal theater took them to Hanover, Germany in 1972. There they studied with Manja Chmiel, a disciple of Mary Wigman. In 1973, they moved to Amsterdam, and for the next two years toured extensively in Germany, the Netherlands, Switzerland and Tunisia. The Japan Society sponsored the first American performance of Eiko & Koma's White Dance in May of 1976. Since then, they have presented their works­ Fur Seal (1977), Before the Cock Crows (1978), Fluttering Black (1979), Trilogy (1979-81), Grain (1983), Beam (1983), Elegy (1984), Night Tide (1984), Thirst (1985), By The River (1986), New Moon Stories, a tetralogy (1986), Tree (1988), Canal (1989), Rust (1989), Memory (1989) and Passage (1989)-at theaters, universities, museums, galleries and festivals across North America, Europe and Japan. Land, their full-evening collaboration with Native American composer Robert Mirabal and New York visual artist Sandra Lerner, premiered at the BAM Next Wave Festival in November, 1991. Wind, another collaboration with Robert Mirabal and also Chanticleer, premiered at the Walker Arts Center in Minneapolis in March, 1993. During the summer of 1995, Eiko & Koma completed River, an outdoor environmental exploration, in collaboration with visual artist Judd Weisberg. They also created Distant (1994) and Echo (1995), the latter commissioned by Japan Society of New York in celebration of Eiko & Koma's twentieth anniversary season there in the fall of 1995. Eiko & Koma have occasionally set works on other companies. Under the auspices of the National Choreography Project, they created Broken Pieces for CoDanceCo in 1986. During the 1993-94 season, they created Dream for Pittsburgh's Dance Alloy under the auspices of the National Dance Repertory Enrichment Program. They have also worked in dance/video as another means of communication with their audiences. Their videotapes Tentacle, Bone Dream, Wallow, Lament, Husk and Undertow are available through Pentacle. Undertow, a collaboration with James Byrne, aired on KCTA's Alive from Off Center in 1989. Most recently, Eiko & Koma have been invited to create and perform in a "living tableau" at the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York. This new work will be on view from May 28 through June 21. Eiko & Koma are permanent residents of the United States. They live in New Photo: Philip Trager York City, where they perform regularly and offer occasional Delicious Movement Workshops. They were named John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation Fellows for 1984. Their touring has been supported by the AT&T Foundation's Dance Tour, Dance / USA's American Dance Touring Initiative and the National Dance Project. They have also received grants from the Creative Artists Public Service (CAPS) program, the Beard's Fund, the Foundation for Contemporary Performance Art, the Jerome Foundation, the New York Foundation for the Arts, Art Matters, the Harkness Foundations for Dance, the Mary Flagler Cary Charitable Trust, the Greenwall Foundation, the Joyce Mertz-Gilmore Foundation, the Nathan Cummings Foundation, the Lila Acheson Wallace Theater Fund, Meet the Composer, the Japan Foundation, the Japan-United States Friendship Commission, the Asian Cultural Council, the Saison Foundation, the Fund for US Artists at International Festivals and Exhibitions and the Rockefeller Foundation's Multi-Arts Production Fund. Their work has been regularly supported by the National Endowment for the Arts and the New York State Council on the Arts. Eiko & Koma were named MacArthur Fellows in June of 1996. This was the first time in the program's sixteen year history that the foundation awarded a fellowship to be shared by collaborators. Kronos Quartet Since its inception in 1973, the Kronos Quartet has emerged as a leading voice for new work. Combining a unique musical vision with a fearless dedi­ cation to experimentation, Kronos has assembled a body of work unparalleled in its range and scope of expression, and in the process, has captured the attention of audiences world-wide. The Quartet's extensive repertoire ranges from Shostakovich, Webern, Bartok and lves to Astor Piazzolla, John Cage, Raymond Scott and Howlin' Wolf. In addition to working closely with modern masters such as Terry Riley, John Zorn and Henryk Gorecki, Kronos com­ missions new works from today's most innovative composers from around the world, extending its reach as far as Zimbabwe, Poland, Australia, Japan, Argentina and Azerbaijan. The Quartet is currently working with many com­ posers, including John Adams, Franghiz Ali-Zadeh, Diamanda Galas, Osvaldo Golijov, Ben Johnston, Steven Mackey, Akira Nishimura, Gabriela Ortiz, P. Q. Phan, Steve Reich, Somei Satoh, Tan Dun and Guo Wenjing. Kronos performs annually in many cities including San Francisco and New York, and tours extensively with more than 100 concerts each year in concert halls, clubs and at jazz festivals throughout

  • HANZHI WANG, Accordion
    HANZHI WANG, accordion Photo: Matt Dine COMMUNITIES DIGITAL NEWS (Washington, DC): “Ms. Wang dazzled all at the full house at the Kennedy Center with her skills and musicianship. She offered a program of surprisingly daring and eclectic repertoire, including a wide range of classical repertoire explored so masterfully that it seems as if these works had actually been written for the accordion in the first place. It was a genuinely eye-opening evening. Hanzhi Wang is undoubtedly well on her way to a brilliant career that is certain to be much discussed.” OBERON’S GROVE (New York): “Hanzhi Wang gave a remarkable performance. She displayed staggering virtuosity and a gift for drawing colors and magical dynamics from her accordion. It was an inspiring mixture of passion and finesse. Putting a regal polish on every phrase, her sparkling technique held the audience in a state of breathlessness, as thrilling to watch as to hear.” NEW YORK MUSIC DAILY: “Hanzhi Wang isn’t the first accordionist to specialize in classical music, but she is the first one ever to earn inclusion on the Young Concert Artists roster. That’s a pretty big deal. Nothing beats the plaintive lusciousness of Wang’s instrument of choice. She has a magically dynamic new album, and her Carnegie Hall debut in Zankel Hall is one of THE big accordion events of the year in New York. ” Musical America Worldwide New Artist of the Month, July 2018 First Prize, 2017 Young Concert Artists International Auditions First Prize, 40th Castelfidardo International Accordion Competition (Italy) Peter P.

  • A Listening Eye: the Films of Mike Dibb Part Two: the Arts of Improvisation
    A Listening Eye: The Films of Mike Dibb Part Two: The Arts of Improvisation Week One Available to view 29 January – 04 February 2021 For the fourth week of A Listening Eye, we focus on Mike Dibb’s music and dance documentaries, which showcase a remarkable sympathy towards many traditional musical and classical art forms, from the Afro-Spanish roots of Cuban Music to the island’s revolutionary ballet and the vanguardist tangos of Astor Piazzolla. All these films celebrate unusual lives and exceptional talent, replete with beautifully filmed performances by wonderful musicians and dancers.
