This week in New York: koosil-ja!
March 3, 2010 · Posted by Dance Theater Workshop ·
“…Koosil-ja and her company, danceKUMIKO, present the New York premiere of BLOCKS OF CONTINUALITY / BODY, IMAGE, AND ALGORITHM, her latest examination of movement and the human body utilizing live processing, interactive computer programming, and 3D imaging, influenced by the conceptual theories of French philosopher and self-described “pure metaphysician” Gilles Deleuze.

Video: Jasmin Vardimon’s Yesterday
Jasmin Vardimon started her promising dance career right here in Israel, performing with the Kibbutz Contemporary Dance Company while venturing into choreography. In 1995, she won the “On the Way to London” competition for young choreographers, which was sponsored by the Suzanne Dellal Center and the British Council – and shortly afterwards, she found herself headed to Europe and, indeed, on the way to London. There, in 1997, she burst onto the British dance scene with her company, originally titled Zbang and now known as the Jasmin Vardimon Company (JVC).
