Lecture Series: Anya Clarke & Mitsuko Verdery

September 24, 2019 @ 6:30 pm - 8:00 pm

The stage saturated in purple. One dancer's hair covers her face with her arms out to the side, she stands in front of a close up pixelated projection of a white woman's face.

Founded by Anya Clarke and CMU School of Art alumna Mitsuko Verdery (BFA ’14), MICHIYAYA Dance, a femme-centric contemporary dance theater company, creates multidisciplinary work that is queer, sensual, abstract, and physical. Their work has been presented by Yale University, the Brooklyn Museum, and Gelsey Kirkland Theater, among others. They will present a new multimedia dance work on queering the senses at The Andy Warhol Museum on Friday, September 27.

All lectures are free and open to the public. Free parking is available in the East Campus Garage after 5:00pm or on Frew, Margaret Morrison, and Tech Streets after 6:00pm.

Presented in collaboration with The Warhol and CMU School of Drama
