The Brooklyn Museum of Art’s third season
of Dance Forum concerts is "About Time" on Nov. 9.
The dance program features six works choreographed by Paz Tanjuaquio,
Jessica Morgan, Pele Bauch, Shoko Kashima & Ryuko Sagimoto,
Mark Jarecke and Tiffany Mills.
The solo by Tanjuaquio (pictured), "Thunder Against 123,"
is set against Todd Richmond and Brian Dean Richmond’s 1990 abstract
film "Unter der Mittleren Bruke (Under the Middle Bridge)."
It’s her first in a series of dance manifestos inspired by Tristan
Tzara’s 1918 Dada Manifesto.
Tanjuaquio, who since 1994 has often collaborated with film and
video, told GO Brooklyn that her nine-minute solo plays off the
energy of the film as she "plays with different contrasting
ideas: nature versus manmade, soft versus sharp."
The Queens-based choreographer is currently co-director with
Todd Richmond of Topaz Arts, an arts center in Woodside.
The "About Time" program begins at 4 pm in the Brooklyn
Museum of Art’s Cantor Auditorium, third floor, 200 Eastern Parkway
at Washington Avenue in Prospect Heights, (718) 638-5000. The
performance is free with museum admission. Admission is $6, $3
students with valid ID and seniors, free children younger than
12. For more information, go to www.brooklynmuseum.org.
