    What’s New

    Pooh Kaye and Eccentric Motions, Inc. is collaborating with the legendary ex-artistic director of Dance on Camera and producer, Deirdre Towers, to present, Four Women in a Tree. The one-hour experimental documentary explores the artistic similarities and differences between four generations of artist/choreographers: Anna Halprin, Simone Forti, Jennifer Monson, and Pooh Kaye. 
     
    Dance historian and critical thinker, Ann Cooper Albright, writes: “There is something powerful and sensuous about the open, raw physicality of Simone Forti, Pooh Kaye, and Jennifer Monson. Historically, these women (via Anna Halprin) share a branch on the family tree of post-modern dance.”  4 Women in a Tree documents the transmigration and subsequent transformation of ideas, physiological gestures and passions that have affected the work of four fiercely independent and iconoclastic artists. 4 Women in a Tree is scheduled for release in June, 2021.

    Coming Soon: Four Women in a Tree: Scheduled for Release June, 2021
