Encounters with LEIMAY: Studies for Borders

Encounters with LEIMAY is a four-part series of talks, performances, and training that, seen as a whole, offer a resonant environment that mirrors LEIMAY’s artistic practice. Encounters with LEIMAY is conceived by artistic directors Ximena Garnica and Shige Moriya as a chance to see the company at its home, uncovering the layers of thought, practice, and experimentation that compose LEIMAY’s work. This series takes place through the LEIMAY Ludus Training Summer Intensive, a lecture demonstration on LEIMAY Ludus, and a symposium and performance studies focused around LEIMAY’s new piece, Borders, premiering at BAM in February 2016.

Studies for Borders

LEIMAY presents a series of studies for its new piece, Borders, premiering at BAM in 2016 . These studies can range from short performances to abstract video environments. In Borders, LEIMAY reflects on the ambivalence inherent in the way borders are seen, transformed, perceived, created, traversed or dismantled. The Studies offer a chance for LEIMAY’s audience to observe the inner workings of the piece before its premiere and also a chance for LEIMAY to see the piece’s resonance in front of an audience.
