"The performance space was transformed into an uncanny magnetic field." —Dance Hiroaki Umeda is one of Japan’s most promising young choreographer/dancers to revitalize the international scene. His ultra-contemporary approach retains traces of butoh and street dance forms even as it explores a radically minimalist aesthetic that flashes between the sublime and the violent, fluid grace and sudden shock waves of movement. From his current base in Paris, Umeda has created his own company—S20—in which he appears as a solo performer. His actions are subsumed within environments he designs of sparse dramatic lighting, strobing cyber-imagery, and crackling digital soundscapes. In each piece, movement is only one element in intensely physical meditations on space and sensory perception. For his debut here, Hiroaki Umeda performs Accumulation Layout and While going to a condition, which the New York Times praised for the way he "mirrored the pulsing score with an accumulation of motion, starting with his feet and rising gradually to overtake his buckling legs and rubbery torso."

One Flew Over the Cuckoo Nest
Where: Wexner Center for the Arts at The Ohio State University
Date: 2008-04-10 20:00:00
Type:
Based on Ken Kesey’s novel, One Flew over the Cuckoo’s Nest provides Jack Nicholson with one of his signature roles as a convict imprisoned in a psychiatric hospital, taunted by the formidable Nurse Ratched (Louise Fletcher). A rallying cry against conformity, the film was the second movie ever to win all five major Academy Awards, including Forman’s first as Best Director. (133 mins., 35mm) This touring retrospective was organized by Jytte Jensen, curator in the department of film at the Museum of Modern Art, New York, with the kind collaboration of the Czech Center, New York; The National Film Archive, Prague; and Irene Kovarova, independent film curator and tour manager.
