Vanessa Voskuil and Sachiko Nishiuchi

Vanessa Voskuil exercises her visceral and interdisciplinary sensibility to re-imagine the connections between dance, theatre, visual art and architecture. Well respected in her role as co-founder of Live Action Set and collaborator on many diverse performance projects, Voskuil’s new independent work plumbs the depths of the creative process to translate simple movements into an impressionistic texture of human experience.

A member of Zorongo Flamenco Dance Theatre and Ananya Dance Theater, Sachiko Nishiuchi has appeared on many Minneapolis stages. The Apple Tree, loosely based on John Galsworthy’s 1916 romance novel, employs the riotous lens of Flamenco to evoke the illusive "springtime of life" and the tragedy of how we classify, divide and separate one another, despite our shared humanity.
