A consortium of four presenters are committed to bringing CAST, STAGE, AUTHOR, a trilogy of modular performance works to New England in 2019-2020. A complex exploration of performer, spectacle, and authorship, created by Puerto-Rican born director/choreographer Yanira Castro, the work premiered in 2017 in New York City. Bessie award-winning Castro has created site-adaptable performance projects in a multiplicity of spaces– from warehouses, restrooms, and gardens to the stage. This presentation of CAST (three performances in July 2020) and AUTHOR (a three week installation in July 2020) will be the first time Yanira Castro has presented work at Bates Dance Festival (BDF).
