Sundays on Broadway-A shared evening with Marilyn Maywald Yahel, Mina Nishimura and Miriam Parker

Marilyn Maywald Yahel is joined by performers Jennifer Lafferty & Melanie Maar to generate a dance where steps are constructed by the deconstruction of impulse.

Mina Nishimura will be showing a short segment of material, which is part of her new evening-length work, Bladder Inn. (and X, Y, Z, W). The work is a quest for supposedly long-lost form of a body. The slippery journey is contained and held by a specific architecture of a performance venue. 

Miriam Parker looks at movement and life as relating to a pendulum: a body suspended from a fixed point, as to move to and fro by the action of gravity and acquired momentum. Horology: a swinging lever, weighted at the lower end for regulating the speed of a clock mechanism. Something that tends to move from one position, condition, etc., to the opposite extreme and then back again. “In a democratic society the pendulum of political thought swings left then right.”

All Sundays on Broadway events begin at 6:00 pm. Doors open at 5:45 pm at WeisAcres. Keep in mind, this is a small space. Please arrive on time out of courtesy to the artists.

Sundays on Broadway events are free and open to the public.
