Lu Yim:
title: cell foam threshhole
choreography + performance lu yim
cell foam threshhole is a solo performance made for artist run spaces and alternative venues. Formed around the idea that the body is holographic, the performer shows up as text as voice as movement as image and as meme. The work develops out of yim’s interests in somatics, queer inter-techno-sections, and life and death. cell foam threshhole composes live in a paradoxical state of autonomously generated pleasure of which remains surveilled, the body figuring a work in shadows, away from clear sites.

Lu Yim is a choreographer, performer and visual artist based in
Portland, OR. Yim works with the laugh/cry, fictionally and
collaboratively breaking language, queering kinship, moving the body towards some kind of performance. Yim’s work has travelled to PICA’s TBA Festival, Northwest New Works at On the Boards, Festival Internacional de Danza Contempor á n ea Mic ho á c an and has been coproduced in theaters, lofts, galleries and bars across the US. Yim is part of Physical Education, a reading and curatorial group based in Portland, OR. http://www.physicaleducation.life
