Preview Performance of Yue Yin Dance Company (YYDC)
Join us for an exclusive preview performance by YYDC, offering a sneak peek of ELSEWHERE, an evening-length dance piece that marks the third part of Yue Yin’s trilogy and which will have its world premiere in October at 92NY. The trilogy commenced with NOWHERE, which was previewed at Chautauqua and performed at Chelsea Factory in NYC in 2023, and SOMEWHERE, which was previewed at Chautauqua and performed at New York Live Arts in 2024. This upcoming work highlights Yue’s unique dance vocabulary and trademarked FoCo Technique, which focuses on generating, guiding, and transforming energy within bodies and space. Witness ELSEWHERE as a work in progress at Chautauqua!
Following the performance, join the artists for a meet and greet and moderated conversation at the Athenaeum Hotel Parlor, which includes heavy hors d’oeuvres with beverages available for purchase. Tickets are available for either the preview performance only, or for the preview performance plus reception.
