Sundays on Broadway: Jon Kinzel + Jimena Paz + Vicky Shick – SoHo Broadway Events

Sundays on Broadway and curator Cathy Weis present an evening of performances by Jon Kinzel + Jimena Paz + Vicky Shick.

Jon Kinzel will show video and dance stemming from Pacific Terminus (2019), an ongoing collaborative project with visual artist Bob Ajar/recent performance residency at Telematic. Dancer Simon Courchel will be involved with this showing. In some ways the work represents a sequel to Atlantic Terminus (2016), an installation he presented at The Invisible Dog that rested on a pretext of using his own belongings as a set.

Jimena Paz will present a solo work-in-process.

Over a number of years, Marilyn Maywald-Yahel and Vicky Shick have been exploring nuance, intimacy and extravagance through movement. This segment is a glimpse of that work.
