SUMMARY:Webcast | Yanira Castro | Dark Horse/Black Forest
DESCRIPTION:Brooklyn choreographer Yanira Castro is celebrating the la
 unch of a new organism, a canary torsi, in a series of events schedule
 d throughout May and June 2009 and culminating in the premiere of her 
 newest dance installation, Dark Horse/Black Forest, in the lobby bathr
 oom of the Gershwin Hotel, with a LIVE WEBCAST on Dance-tech.net\n\nYa
 nira Castro will debut her newest dance installation Dark Horse/Black 
 Forest in the lobby bathroom of the Gershwin Hotel. Performances can b
 e experienced live in the bathroom (for a small audience of 7) or via 
 closed-circuit TV in any of the hotel’s 135 guest rooms. The piece i
 s presented with Performance Space 122 and Neke Carson.\n\nDark Horse/
 Black Forest is an intense love story presented in the most intimate s
 pace: a bathroom.\n\nThe audience is privy to an emotional and private
  exchange between a couple that evolves into a formal, sensual dance. 
 There are two casts that rotate bi-weekly: a man and a woman (Heather 
 Olson & Joseph Poulson), and two men (Luke Miller & Darrin Wright).\n\
 nThe lobby bathroom of the Gershwin Hotel will be transformed by light
 ing designer Kathy Couch, installation artist Charles Merritt Houghton
 , video artist Peter Richards, and composer Stephan Moore. An installa
 tion of fluorescents, mirrors, and video screens will create a hyper-r
 eflective space.\n\nABOUT a canary torsi\na canary torsi is engaged in
  the creation of multi-disciplinary interactive environments that have
  multiple facets: each acting as a stand-alone work and connected to l
 ive performance.\n\nEvery two years, a canary torsi will extend a form
 al invitation to collaborate in the form of an open Call for Proposal.
  This year, it is commissioning artist Lauren McCarthy to create two e
 mbedded audio streams for two fictionalized Twitter feeds written by R
 ozalia Jovanovic. Each feed is inspired by a character from Yanira Cas
 tro’s dance installation for public and private bathrooms, Dark Hors
 e/Black Forest, performed by Heather Olson + Joseph Poulson and Luke M
 iller + Darrin Wright.\n\nRelated Links:\noverheredarkhorse.com\n\nOve

 ions, and other over hearings via twitter, which will be displayted on
