TICKETS + INFORMATION

Whether they last a day or (like this one) an hour and a half, the works of dance/performance mainstay Yoshiko Chuma — an artist like no other — are epic. Not epic like David Lean — epic as in portentious and sweeping — but epic in scope and inclusivity. Another word might be “baggy” — but me, I like baggy. “Tipping utopia” isn’t the place where restaurant back-of-house workers dream of getting; “tipping” appears to be a verb here rather than gerund. I.e., how can we tilt toward a perfect supportive community rather than enmiring ourselves in war and selfish interpersonal conflict?
