DANSPACE PROJECT PRESENTS
PLATFORM 2011: Body Madness – Absurdity and Wit
voix de ville
February 3-5, 2011
an evening created by Cori Olinghouse
Featuring work by Cori Olinghouse, voguers Javier Ninja and Archie Burnett (from the International Legendary House of Ninja), and special surprise guests – Kota Yamazaki, and Bill Irwin!
Celebrating artists from eccentric, experimental and freestyle dance forms, this evening illuminates the many approaches to transformation and shapeshifting. An historic re-imagining of vaudeville where freestyle performers express their culturally unique voix de ville, or “voices of the city.”
“This blog documents the making of voix de ville, and ongoing work/research that continues to emerge as a result of this wonderful experience!” – Cori Olinghouse

I came across this to look at the Bill Irwin piece, but the whole event is fascinating. And this could be the cleverest name for a show in years!
Thank you for your feedback. Videos from this show are posted on vimeo – under my name: Cori Olinghouse.
Best,
Cori
