Overview

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Yoshiko Chuma is a dancer, a choreographer and the director of the Bessie Award winning performance art group The School of Hard Knocks. Described in 2007 by Bloomberg as a fixture on New York's downtown scene for over a quarter- century , her work spans from early absurdist gaiety to more recent serious reflection, which nevertheless represents the maverick imagination and crazy-quilt multimedia work for which the artist is known. Dance commentators have found her work difficult to classify; in a 2006 profile, Dance Magazine speculated that One might call her a postmodern choreographer, a movement designer, or a visual artist whose primary medium is human beings--dancers, musicians, pedestrians . Chuma favors abstract art and discourages efforts to interpret her work, telling Bloomberg that What I do is ambiguous. I don't have a statement. If I had a statement, I'd be a writer . In 2007, Chuma received a Bessie Award honoring her sustained achievements as a choreographer.
