“The haunting quality of Uchizono’s work shone through—a blend of small but gem-like virtuosic moments, rich metaphors, and unforgettable visual panache.” —Dance Magazine

Award-winning New York choreographer Donna Uchizono draws from the Buddhist tenet on emptiness to create a stunning new trio that combines iconic art-rock guitarist /composer Fred Frith’s densely intriguing score, the visceral power of her own unique movement vocabulary, and Michael
Casselli’s ghostlike video imagery. Thin Air is a hypnotic experience that beautifully utilizes sound, simple yet brilliant scenic elements, and finely detailed movement that flows from the deliberate to the frenetic.

This project is made possible in part by a grant from the National Performance Network’s (NPN) Performance Residency Program and the NPN Freight Fund. Major contributors of the National Performance Network include the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation, Ford Foundation, the National Endowment for the Arts (a federal agency), Altria, MetLife Foundation, and the Nathan Cummings Foundation.
