Description

YBCA is thrilled to conclude its 08_09 season with a truly remarkable confluence of performing and visual art in our Exhibitions gallery, fusing the movement of renowned choreographer Ronald K. Brown and the shimmering “Soundsuits” of visionary sculptor Nick Cave. Praised as “one of the most profound choreographers of his generation,” Brown and his company EVIDENCE blend African, modern, ballet and hip-hop to tell stories about the human experience. As part of his residency at YBCA, Brown and EVIDENCE dancer Shani Collins will collaborate with local performers to bring to life Cave’s “Soundsuits,” ephemeral full-body sculptures composed of recycled clothing, beads, bottle caps, toys, twigs and hair. The exhibition, which runs in our galleries Mar 28–Jul 12, represents the largest scale presentation of Cave’s career, and gives YBCA audiences the unique chance to experience his “Soundsuits” in performance.
