OCTOBER 2017 | COFFEE SHOP LAFAYETTE
about edifice: uncovered
Edifice: Uncovered was conceived by Yukie, Christy and Lissa and is brought to life by No Strings Attached Dance Company directed by Lissa Resnick in collaboration with artist Marcia Barrow Taylor. This work asks: “What’s Inside?” “What’s Inside of Us?”
Drawing inspiration from Marcia’s repetitive knitting to create objects and her use of paper and other materials to construct forms, Lissa uses a balletbased contemporary ensemble to study and explore the layers that exist both inside and outside of us. Edifice: Uncovered includes an interactive community writing element, leaving behind a physical, literary footprint of the performance installation.
