Other Suns (A Trilogy)
Margaret Jenkins Dance Company/Guangdong Modern Dance Company

YBCA is thrilled to co-commission Other Suns (A Trilogy), a world premiere trilogy of dances created by Margaret Jenkins and her company in a cross-cultural collaboration with the Guangdong Modern Dance Company of Guangzhou, China. Jenkins, who has for 35 years been one of the Bay Area's most influential and innovative choreographers, investigates symmetry and asymmetry in both Chinese and American cultures. Through an intricate blend of contemporary dance forms, Other Suns (A Trilogy) transcends national and cultural barriers, offering a new perspective on balance and imbalance in our fast-changing, global society. Live music composed by Paul Dresher and performed by the Paul Dresher Ensemble, with additional music by Bun Ching-Lam.

A post-show conversation with Margaret Jenkins Dance Company and Guangdong Modern Dance Company will take place on Fri, Sep 25.
