Artists in residence Nkechi Njaka and Tauwoo are presenting a choreography/ live music performance in a livestream viewing format at the Saint Joseph’s Arts Society on December 12th 2020.
This site-specific work is titled: Coalesce // Facing These Moments and aims to be both a conversation and a moment to reflect on our human experience in 2020— examining solitude, grief, race-relations, isolation and uncertainty.
ABOUT THE ARTISTS
Nkechi Njaka is an SF based neuroscientist, meditation guide and choreographer. Her choreographic work has been recognized by YBCA, lululemon, Scripps College, Roksanda, Vice Magazine, Polica and the Kennedy Center. As a neuroscientist and mindfulness expert, Nkechi explores the science and art of our humanity in her choreographic work— allowing for a depth of feeling and inquiry.
This choreographic work will be set to the new music of Tauwoo, songs Patterns, Orange Blossom and Painted Lines— selections from the much anticipated release of Patterns, a solo EP to be debuted on December 8th. Written during the pandemic, the EP reflects on creativity as a cathartic release, examining introspection as a form of growth. Blending drums, bass, piano and synth textures, his music can be compared to artists such as Thom Yorke, Patrick Watson and James Blake. Past features with brands include GoPro, Dolls Kill, Huckberry, and Dwell Magazine.
