An evening of experimental performance and conversation

Join Aretha Aoki and Ryan MacDonald for an evening of experimental performance and behind-the-scenes conversation about their lives as professional artists who blend dance, music, and theater.

Together with their daughter, Frankie Mayfield, they will share segments of their new show, IzumonookunI. This multidisciplinary and multigenerational dance is inspired by Izumo no Okuni, 17th century founder of the Japanese dance-drama form, kabuki—a form that currently contains little trace of its female-centric, grassroots, counter-cultural origins.

This is a free FirstWorks event.
