Yanira Castro + Company: Center of Sleep

Recognized for intimate dance-viewing experiences, Yanira Castro + Company blurs the line between performer and viewer. Center of Sleep, a dance installation with an immersive visual and sound environment, investigates the metamorphosing body as a site of intense potential and awkward sensuality. The experience is not one of distance or an image framed, but of action beside and around you.

Center of Sleep is commissioned by the Bessie Schönberg/First Light Commissioning and Creative Residency Program of Dance Theater Workshop with support from the Jerome Foundation, the Ford Foundation, the National Endowment for the Arts, a federal agency, the New York State Council on the Arts, and the Jerome Robbins Foundation. Center of Sleep was developed, in part, through a creative residency at the Maggie Allesee National Center for Choreography at Florida State University.
