The Invisible Dog Art Center is thrilled to present a project by choreographer Maho Ogawa, as part of Nafas, an exhibition and a festival celebrating the union between food and art.The Japanese Gesture Archive - Tea Ceremony explores the relationships between individuality and formality through the Japanese Tea Ceremony. The gestures and elements in the Japanese Tea Ceremony will be remixed as choreographic material to recreate our current Tea Ceremony, assessing the meanings of each gesture and the act of offering and receiving.
It invites us to rediscover Japanese social aesthetics as social choreography through current multicultural lenses in New York.
Maho Ogawa is a Brooklyn-based multidisciplinary movement artist originally from Japan. She uses body movement, text instructions, and computer software to discover how relationships and the environment affect individual bodies consciously and subconsciously. Her works have been shown in Asia at Raft (Tokyo), Korea & Japan Dance Festival (Seoul), Za Koenji (Tokyo), Whenever Wherever Dance Festival (Tokyo), Tokyo Culture Creation Project (Tokyo), and at various NY venues including Center for Performance Research, Movement Research at the Judson Church, Domestic Performance Agency, The Hive Art Community, WhiteBox, Snug Harbor Cultural Center, and New York University Grey Gallery. As a performer, she’s been fortunate to work with Athena Kokoronis, Mina Nishimura, Andrea Haenggi, Clarinda Mac Low, Ursula Eagly, and Abigail Levine. She holds an M.F.A. in Performance and Interactive Media Arts from Brooklyn College.
