Ephrat Asherie: UnderScored (work in progress)
All over the world from, San Diego
In UnderScored, Asherie and her company of dancers explore the forms of club dancing which arose in NY of the 1970–80s as part of the House music scene. The work explores the almost utopian pan racial / pan sexual music scene at The Paradise Garage and other venues in the midst of the HIV crisis heavily effecting the LGBT and and communities of color. The work will feature testimonials and performance from survivors of the original scene. The work is commissioned by ArtPower at UC San Diego along with The Guggenheim Museum, The Momentary at Crystal Bridges, and The Yard. The complete work will appear in ArtPower’s 2021–22 season.
