A Body in Places is the first solo project by dancer/choreographer Eiko Otake, Visiting Artist in Dance and the College of East Asian Studies. Her project incorporates both performative and non-performative elements, and includes the photography exhibition A Body in Fukushima. Central to the project is a drive to explore non-traditional venues and to respond to the innate characteristics of each specific place. At the core of each variant is her alone exploring solitude, gaze, fragility, and intimacy. Performing as a soloist, she willfully partners with the particularities of places and viewers. The conversation that happens in the community becomes an integral part of the experience for audience and artist alike.

A Body in a Library will start in the lobby of Olin Library.

A Body in a Station, the first iteration of A Body in Places, was performed in the waiting room of Philadelphia’s 30th Street Station under the auspices of the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts.
