Sunday we are closing out #RevisitingNeutralGround with The Wiggle Workshop hosted by @_vessels_ — Pulling in concepts from #culturalsomatics and diverse movement techniques, The Wiggle Workshop aims to create a safe, exploratory, and inquisitive space for dancers and “non-dancers” alike to cultivate a deeper rootedness in their bodies. Through sensation, imagination, and play, participants will be invited to discover new layers of presence and practice honing a greater sensitivity to connection—inner, outer, the simple, and the complex. If you’ve got a body, let’s boogie! RSVP in bio or at LPAC.NYC/NEUTRAL-GROUND — #dance #movement #therapy #arttherapy #wiggle #workshop #danceclass

As part of #RevisitingNeutralGround, we also wanted to showcase other artists from the Asian Diaspora whose work similarly explores themes of identity, loss, belonging, migration, decolonization, and ritual. I love and admire these people so much and feel nourished by their work and their existence.

#RevisitingNeutralGround: ARRIVAL // @_vessels_ // @setoburrito: From the start of planning the show, I felt very aware of the audience and my own desire to craft their experience and gaze. It was important to me that we bring the viewers in as participants. We worked with our set designer Simon (@simonschabert) who helped us construct a pre-show area for the audience. When attendees arrived, they were met with a two-sided wooden board that invited them to answer: “Where are you from / Why are you here?” which became a sort of monument of time/presence over the course of the three shows. From there, they were led into a warmly-lit corridor with baby/family pictures from ourselves and our performers on the walls, a playlist of music we collectively curated, and the books we had read that informed the show. We were adamant about resisting any kind of flattening—and we wanted people to feel at home/ease. Within the corridor wall was also a long opening where keen observers who peeked in could witness me moving ever so slowly in a white skirt, surrounded by chinoiserie wallpaper and tiered Chinese lanterns—a living diorama. It brought up a lot of sensations: the clunkiness and confusion of reaching towards “Asian” semiotics—grasping for a sense of place, belonging, history; the feeling of being watched; the foreignness; hearing people’s commentary on the other side of the wall, tracking my own desire to be seen while feeling the distance of disconnect/invisibility/resignation. So many felt layers. -- Photo credits: 1) Debset Kim (@iamdebset); 2) Lillian Lam (@lillikins) 4) Video: Olivier Lessard (@oli_crapaud)

#RevisitingNeutralGround // @_vessels_ // It’s been three years since we created Neutral Ground and it still feels as though we are in a perpetual state of departing and arriving, learning and unlearning, being and becoming. When LPAC (@lpaconthemap) offered us the opportunity to stream the performance as part of “Behind the Mask”, we asked ourselves: what remains? what has changed? what is needed? We imagined this as a chance to fill in the work’s edges, embrace imperfections, and weave a broader story and context around its themes of existing in the in-between as Asian Americans. More deeply, encountering our past selves and bygone choices begins the question: how do you close something that is unending? Click the link in bio to stream Neutral Ground online until 01.24. Or visit lpac.nyc/neutral-ground Neutral Ground - Premiered April 2018 Presented by LaGuardia Performing Arts Center, CUNY Dance Initiative (@cdi_dance), and the Asian American Arts Alliance (@aaartsalliance).
