Peanut Dance — excerpt of "Durch Dick und Duenn and Durch Nacht und Nebel"
Choreographed & Directed by Yvonne Meier
Performed by Lisa Kusanagi
Event: Poetry Project
Time: 8:30pm
Location:
 St. Mark's Danspace Project, 131 East 10th St, New York, NY 10003 USA
"The choreographer Yvonne Meier can turn a tomato into theater. With an agile imagination and breathtaking defiance of convention, she transforms ordinary objects — Ms. Meier loves a good hardware store — into tools for artistic expression....There was Ms. Kusanagi as a wolf, dancing out the lyrics to a song called “Diggin’ My Grave,” and later posing provocatively in a costume covered in peanuts. (She snacked, comically, as she moved.)" -- The New York Times 

"The chaotic sensuality of Yvonne Meier’s work is something to behold....By the end of her current 45-minute production, the stage at The Invisible Dog Art Center is a mess, suffused with the fragrance of fresh tomatoes that have been violated in imaginative ways....Most of the packed house goes nuts for this orgy of sloppy fun, a harvest festival of full-frontal female flesh and fresh fruit." — Village Voice

"What you see is what you get. No irony. No bullshit....Meier and her collaborators exhibit behavior that society deems as inappropriate or unseemly — especially for women. They eat impulsively, unabashedly display their bodies, and make juvenile movies. But through these absurd acts, Meier points to how silly and arbitrary certain cultural constructs are." -- Dance Enthusiast

​November 9-12, 2017 : USA
Durch Dick und Duenn and Durch Nacht und Nebel
Multiple Bessie-Award winning artist Yvonne Meier shares two pieces: Durch Dick und Duenn, an all new work for multiple soloists, and Durch Nacht und Nebel, a short solo for Meier. In Durch Dick und Duenn (Through Thick and Thin) performers Lorene Bouboushian, Lisa Kusanagi, and Meier move through a rapid-fire sequence of eccentric action and shape-shifting characters as they navigate a volatile landscape of murky depths, brittle and explosive walls, and a few surprises. This new work draws on Meier’s 30+ year practice of improvisational Releasing and Authentic Movement techniques. In Durch Nacht und Nebel (which translates to By Night and Fog), seen at last year’s American Realness Festival, Meier transforms herself with provocative costumes.
“Fearlessly morphing from one creature to the next — one transformation involved an orange bodysuit affixed with the plastic babies, and in another, she was coated in black paint — she exposed her aging body with aplomb. Is there nothing she’s afraid of?” wrote Gia Kourlas (New York Times).
