High Concept Labs Sponsored Artist Mitsu Salmon (MFA 2014) presents her multidisciplinary solo dance piece 'Tsuchi' on July 16th at High Concept Labs.
“Tsuchi' draws from Salmon’s grandfather’s experience growing up in Hawaii as a Japanese-American, and then as an American GI in Japan. The work explores questions of family and modernization through Butoh, Nihon Buyo (Japanese folk dance), contemporary dance, and everyday movements with music and text. Nihon Buyo and Butoh are heavily influenced by farming and a connection with the earth. Similarly, 'Tsuchi' examines earth and roots as connected to the body, heritage, and place.” The work is a collaboration between Salmon, sound artist Alyssa Moxley (MFA Sound 2014), accordionist Ryotaro and musician Kevin Carey.
