Voices and Dance within the Americas







This morning I was searching through my archives for a file to print and happily stumbled upon these images of Judith Sanchez Ruiz and James McGinn that had been overlooked during the first round of editing. They are from a promo shoot for a Works & Process performance Voices and Dance within the Americas that is running this Sunday and Monday at The Guggenheim. 

I'm so looking forward to this!  Here's a description of the performances I pulled from The Guggenheim's Site:  See three new Works & Process commissions inspired by the Latino multicultural landscape in the Americas. Ballet Hispanico’s Artistic Director Eduardo Vilaro has paired Cuban choreographer Maray Gutierrez and Peruvian American composer Gabriela Lena Frank to create a work that explores identity and cultural fusion. Cuban American artist Anthony Goicolea joins choreographer Jonah Bokaer for the multimedia collaboration TRiCK, created especially for this program. Cuban choreographer Judith Sanchez Ruiz and Korean visual artist Sun K. Kwak premiere I will Stay with You Even if You Are Not Here, a collaborative work inspired by the life and work of Cuban visual artist Ana Mendieta, with original music by Cuban pianist/ composer Adonis Gonzales. Wendy Perron, editor-in-chief of Dance Magazine, will moderate the discussion.
