NEPOBABYPASTAGIRL

Choreography, direction, design & performance by evan ray suzuki
Performing collaborators: Sabrina Leira, Shea Cheves, Yitzhak Franco

NEPOBABYPASTAGIRL enacts a butoh-ish gestural choreographic landscape ranging from disjointed order to organized chaos. Taking inspiration from Juzo Itami’s idea of the “ramen western,” the work offers an abstracted yet unflinching look at the wild west of the internet culture machine.

Production History:
2023 — New Dance Alliance Performance Mix Festival #37 @ Abrons Arts Center (NY)

In-progress:
2022 — CreateART Works-in-Progress @ Dancewave — Brooklyn, NY
2022 — DANCE HOLE @ The Tank — NY, NY

NEPOBABYPASTAGIRL was created, in part, with support from a 2022-23 LiftOff Residency at New Dance Alliance and shown in progress with CreateART at Dancewave and DANCE HOLE at The Tank.
Special thanks to Ragin Smith for contributions as a performing collaborator during in-progress versions of the work.
