Immerse yourself in the world of dance as the prestigious YY Dance Company presents the World Premiere of its latest production, SOMEWHERE. From June 20 to June 22, 2024, experience a dance performance like no other at New York Live Arts, with evening showings at 7:30pm and an additional matinee on June 22 at 2pm.
SOMEWHERE is the brainchild of acclaimed choreographer Yue Yin, marking the second chapter of an ambitious trilogy that took flight with the performance of NOWHERE at the Chelsea Factory in 2023. This exciting new production stands as a testament to the unwavering dedication, heart, and extraordinary vision of Yue Yin and her team of skilled dancers.
The pulsating energy of SOMEWHERE delves into the existential questions defining the purpose and meaning of our lives. The dynamic quality and nuanced performances, hallmarks of YYDC, are enhanced with original music by Michel Banabila and an award-winning stage set designed by The Stripe Canary.
With a line-up of internationally recognized artists including Sarah Allen, Sydney Chow, D’Angelo Castro, Joan Dwiartanto, Corinne Lohner, Kristalyn Gill, Alexsander Swader, Nat Wilson, and more, this is an event not to be missed. The performances are not just about watching dance- they are about experiencing a journey, a story, a feeling that resonates deep within the soul.
Providing support for the development and production of SOMEWHERE are reputable organizations such as the New York State Council on the Arts and the Chautauqua Institution among others. This production promises to be a mesmerizing blend of movement and emotion, exemplifying the philosophy and innovative vision of YYDC.
