CITY | Cindy Mochizuki: Autumn Strawberry (Dance Film) On Now−April 30
In this video project, performers respond to Mochizuki’s previous exhibition Autumn Strawberry that animates the history of berry farming by Japanese Canadian families across the Fraser Valley prior to WWII. Choreographed by Lisa Mariko Gelley, these recorded sessions of movements draw upon intergenerational memory and embodied storytelling as the performers learned, improvised, and connected once again to the lost stories.
