Sundays on Broadway co-curators Malcolm-x Betts and Cathy Weis present an evening of video and performances by Emily Coates & Iréne Hultman, Kris Lee, Wendy Perron, and video by CW.
Coates will perform a solo, a beginning study for portraits by Hultman inspired by a longing to dance (Emily) and a desire to return to her choreographic pursuits (Iréne).
Lee’s Doing my black job, is a bodily recap and retelling of what transpired over the past couple of months in their life.
Perron’s Losing and Finding is an eight-minute solo, part choreographed and part improvised, performed to a song by David Lang.
