Engaging Merce Cunningham’s compositional use of chance, this performance takes place in LACMA’s Korean Art galleries amidst 17th—19th century Korean screen paintings, highlighting the primacy of Asian thinking and aesthetic values in the production of the western avant-garde. Los Angeles-based choreographer Jennie MaryTai Liu, along with performers Hannah Heller and devika wickremesinghe, playfully consult contemporary feminist oracles, as well as the ancient Chinese divination text the I Ching, to determine all structural elements of the dance, manifesting in a theatrical display of indeterminacy. With live music by Andrew Gilbert, lighting by Chris Kuhl, and costumes by Wendy Yang. This dance performance was commissioned to accompany the exhibition Merce Cunningham, Clouds and Screens, on view through March 31, 2019. This performance will take place at the following dates and times: Friday, February 15 at 6 and 7 pm Saturday, February 16 at 1, 2:30, and 4 pm
