Barkin/Selissen Project

Hot Knife in Cold Butter / Flo Through Me (Excerpts, 2016)

Choreography: Kyla Barkin, in collaboration with the dancers

Dancers: Kisara Nonaka, Sumire Ishige

This series of vignettes is a crisp yet tender dissection of movement and relativity. Inspired by life, nature, intellectual curiosity, and complex intimate spaces, this piece meditates on humanity's abstract and visceral connection with time, beings, space, and sound In the excerpts presented this evening, you will see different sections of the full evening length work that act specifically as a representation of the imminent approach, battle with, and freedom from a cancer.

Resonant Imaging (2009)

Choreography: Kyla Barkin

Dancer: Sumire Ishige

Projection Design: Lindsey Boise

Derived from multiple MRI-inspired thoughts, this solo with 3D projection is a multi-media journey through the surrealistic experience of the mind that explores how one expresses ideas and feelings beyond the individual's own physically demonstrable capacity.
