Instrument Pictured: Monique Jenkinson, Photo: Michelle Blioux
Presented in partnership with the de Young Museum and Dancers’ Group Instrument, the new solo by Monique Jenkinson exploits the vibrancy of the body in the ever-dying moment of live performance. Created in an experimental collaboration with three choreographers – Miguel Gutierrez, Chris Black, and Amy Seiwert – Instrument enacts, exposes and undermines the roles of dancer as workhorse and choreographer as auteur. The artist’s slippery relationship to authority and authorship is a major theme, as is the dancing body as translator, container of knowledge and preserver of culture. Discretion Advised: Nudity, adult sexual themes and coarse language
