KinoSaito Presents Choreographer, Poet Maya Lee-Parritz

VERPLANCK, NY — KinoSaito will present a series of dance performances by contemporary dance artist and poet Maya Lee-Parritz.

The performances will be on Saturdays, July 23 and 30, with two showings offered each day at 1 p.m. and 3 p.m.

Maya Lee-Parritz is a dancer, choreographer and poet based in New York City. She has presented her choreographic work at the Center for Performance Research, the Brooklyn Ballet, Movement Research at the Judson Church, Triskelion Arts, DraftWork at Danspace and the Vale of Cashmere in Prospect Park as part of the City Artist Corps public arts program.

Lee-Parritz was one of the emerging artists commissioned to create a new work by The Shed for their inaugural Open Call program.

According to her website statement about her work, “I am currently investigating a poetics of time—asking: how can dance disclose the properties of time while deepening our experience of its passing? Beyond altering our perception of time, does dance have the power to sculpt time itself? My recent work has addressed these questions by distilling the flux of movement to an elemental truth and, at the same time, elaborating intricate choreographic forms from single gestures.”

Open seating admission to each of the performances is $20 per person and tickets can be purchased here.

All performances take place in the KinoSaito Theater located at 115 7th St. in Verplanck. Seating is limited.
