About his work 👉📱👈, Wonderful Cringe writes: “Your screen reaches. Trying to type touch. Bleeding images. Love fear. I’m just trying to find the words and nothing comes out quite right.”

Artists' bios:

Beginning in the early 1970’s Daniel Lepkoff played a central role in the development of release technique with Mary Fulkerson and John Rolland, and Contact Improvisation with Steve Paxton. Through ongoing experimentation in performance, exploring specific questions about movement with students in workshops, ongoing personal movement research, and a stream of collaborations with improvising artists, Lepkoff has slowly expanded and deepened his understanding of functional movement and the presence of the imagination in the body. He works internationally throughout Europe, Eastern Europe, and South American. He lives in Vermont.

Julie Mayo has been making dances and performing for over 25 years. Her work has been called “associative, sometimes absurd” by The New Yorker (though she feels like it's anything but) and has been a Critic's Pick in The New York Times. She teaches through Movement Research, her own and others platform(s)s, and has been invited to mentor other artists' work. Most recently, she performed in the Deborah Hay Trio Commissioning Project. She is currently working on a trio that will premiere in 2025.

Sakura Shimada is from Japan and currently lives in Vermont. In Japan, she studied modern dance, ballet, jazz, and Japanese fusion dance. She moved to New York City in 1997 and studied at the Martha Graham Contemporary Dance School, Dance Space Center, and Movement Research, and presented her own works. She began working with Daniel Lepkoff in 2001, engaging deeply with his work, co-teaching and traveling internationally. Her improvisation practice is strongly focused on body information and observation of the body-mind connection with movement. She is a certified teacher of DanceAbility, completing the training with Alito Alessi in Bogota in 2012. In 2018 she completed the Feldenkrais teacher training in NYC.

Wonderful Cringe has been called an “internet clown” and “technoromanticist” among other things. Maybe that means something to you. He hopes this means something to you.
