SUMMARY:DNA PRESENTS: SPLICE: Japan: Artists in Residence | Mana Kawam
 ura and Makiko Tamura
DESCRIPTION:Dance New Amsterdam (DNA) presents up-and-coming choreogra
 phers and DNA Artists in Residence Mana Kawamura and Makiko Tamura in 
 the Winter 2011 Season closer, SPLICE: Japan February 24-26. Sharing t
 he stage at DNA, Kawamura will present Pandora and Tamura will present
  Order made-6-, distinctive works driven by life experiences both in N
 ew York City and their native prefectures of Japan. Kawamura and Tamur
 a traveled to New York on artist visas to study America’s diverse da
 nce techniques and styles in 2006 and 2007 respectively, Tamura having
  come through DNA’s International Student Visa Program. A post-perfo
 rmance talkback moderated by Yoko Shioya, Artistic Director of Japan S
 ociety, will take place on Thursday, February 24 in DNA’s 130-seat t
 heater.\n \nMana Kawamura will present the world premiere of Pandora,
  a theater-infused work inspired by the legendary Greek myth. The piec
 e marks Kawamura’s first half-evening-length work and is influenced 
 by elements of Tanztheater, as she represents the third generation of 
 German-trained dancers in her family. Speaking of the work Kawamura sa
 ys, “Pandora is my first investigation of vocal expression as well a
 s the longest piece in my repertoire. The DNA residency afforded me th
 e necessary time and space to delve deeper into my creative process th
 an I could with my previous works. Through this platform, I have exami
 ned not only the surface narrative of Pandora’s Box, but also the em
 otions behind the protagonist’s fateful curiosity.”\n \nHaving tr
 aveled from Japan to New York to study at DNA as part of the Internati
 onal Visa Program, Makiko Tamura will present the world premiere of Or
 der made-6- on a familiar stage. Conceived from a single duet, awarded
  first place in The Joyce Theater Foundation’s competitive series, T
 he A.W.A.R.D Show! in 2009, the new work incorporates several duets of
  varying gender and race, as opposed to the award-winning Japanese cou
 ple duet. “I hope that this expansion will enable the audience to re
 late to the work more deeply, associating it with their own personal h
 uman experiences,” says Tamura. “Order made-6-wouldn’t exist wit
 hout DNA. Not only did they provide numerous opportunities to develop 
 the work in addition to the residency - I initially began creating the
  piece three years ago as part of DNA’s Works in Progress (WIP) prog
 ram – but also connected me to several unique artists which I have e
 ngaged in the piece.”\n \nSPLICE: Japan was made possible, in part,
  with support from the Japan Foundation.\n \nPerformances take place 
 Thursday – Saturday, February 24-26 at 8:00pm. Prices range from $12
  - $17. DNA is located near all major trains to Chambers Street/City H
 all.\n\nFor more information visit http://aaartsalliance.org/events/dn
