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

“On the surface, dance by Pooh Kaye often appears anarchistic or even slyly animalistic but Ms. Kaye has the eye of an artist and much of her work, though it spills across the stage, with the teeming impulse of life itself, is extremely controlled and self-aware”- New York Times
