New Show
My next show opens in a week! Needless to say, there's still work to be done but if you're in the area, please stop by to see the show.
Mulberry Street Theater presents the EAR to the GROUND series: JET STREAM by Perry Yung with In Mixed Company.
Nov 3-5, 8pm
70 Mulberry St. NYC
$15 general/$13 students and seniors.
RESV. (212) 349-0126
Perry Yung and Maura Nguyen Donohue, together with Peggy Cheng, Brian Nishii, Richard Ebihara, and guests Abby Chan and Julian Barnett will present JET STREAM, a new multimedia performance piece looking at contemporary interculturalism through the movement of wind and bodies. Set against images of modern day Vietnam, Hong Kong, Japan and the United States, this celebration of the
diaspora uses dance, video, live music and personal narratives to reveal both the chaos and the calm of multiracial and multinational Asian identities. The work illustrates how culture can transcend borders of race, nationality and gender. Perry Yung, an American born Chinese, will craft a Japanese Zen bamboo flute (shakuhachi) each night on stage. Ideas like “turbulence” and “resonance”, common in the building of a flute, will be explored by the dancers and blended with elements of pop culture for a global perspective. This performance is made possible in part by the Manhattan Community Arts Fund/New York City Department of Cultural Affairs, administered by the Lower Manhattan Cultural Council.

For those who have never been to one of my performance art events, do not fear. There will be no fruit thrown at the audience or chocolate smeared on naked bodies...not this time ;-)
Have a great day.
Namaste,
Perry
