Event
New Works: Yve Laris Cohen/Jo Morris
"All you need is one good idea, son." explores industry, (f)utility, and postmortemism. Performers Samuel Hanson, Yve Laris Cohen, Casey Llewellyn, and Meghan Milam are roommates. Knowing this will not necessarily lend itself to instigating poignant revelations about the piece, but you can now imagine how creating this work may have deliciously complicated their domestic interactions.
"This and other dark starts." began as a study of the emotional impact within the contours of a room: its confined, finite space, its layout and light, and the placement of bodies therein. These studies led them to explore darkness in rooms and in their memories that which the lamp cant illuminate nor remembering clarify. What comes out is an organized cluster of muddled thoughts and shadows

About the Artists:
Yve Laris Cohen makes things that happen in time, and usually involve bodies. He is emotional, obsessed with and frightened by astrophysics, and preoccupied with what artists say about what they make. Yve received a BA in Dance and Performance Studies and Art Practice from the University of California, Berkeley. He is currently an MFA candidate within Columbia Universitys Visual Arts program.
Johanna Morris graduated from Barnard College with a degree in dance in May 2007, and has since then lived in New York. Her work has been performed at DTW, Hundred Grand, Movement Research at Judson Church, Fridays at Noon at the 92nd St. Y, Triskelion Arts, among others, as well as Berlin. In the past, she has worked with musicians/composers Coogan Brennan and Sam Gershman. Check out her movement blog at: http://swanned.blogspot.com.
Hannah Temple is a member of the New Yorks radical marching band the Rude Mechanical Orchestra, and is recently returned from a melodica tour through Indonesia. Her acoustic work translates a classical, jazz, and folk repertoire through a lone accordion. She has played in New York with Sinking Ship Productions and Columbia's Kings Crown Shakespeare Troupe, and looks forward to continuing collaborations with dancers, actors, and other ne'er-do-wells.
