lunch box #3 is a collaborative dance piece choreographed and performed by Kensaku Shinohara and sam wentz. This mobile dance piece, with less tech-dependent elements, is accessible in diverse settings outside of a traditional theater space, such as museums or galleries. It explores how dance can transform for a different setup, for potential of intimacy and distance between performance, and how view, soundscape, unexpected noises, movement, and random seating will affect the dance.
Choreographer/dancer Kensaku Shinohara shares Good Bye, a dance performance that reflects on sexuality, objectification, intimacy, dominance and boundaries. In this autobiographical piece, Shinohara traces the cultural shift in his moving from Japan to the U.S., the chaos and confrontation that he experienced, and the (literal) plunges he takes as he navigates the war zone of identity and physical collisions.
Born in Sapporo, Japan, Kensaku Shinohara (he/him) is an artist who brings an education in anthropology to bear on his work as a choreographer/performer. He has presented his works in the U.S.A., Canada, Malaysia, Taiwan and Japan. Shinohara is a recipient of a 92Y Harkness Dance Center AIR, Exploring the Metropolis AIR, Queens Arts Fund, Japan Foundation New York to name a few.
