Forsenga
Forsenga is an interdisciplinary performance art installation, responding to multidisciplinary artist Senga Nengudi's sculptural works often referred to as the R.S.V.P. 'hosiery series'. Like Nengudi's practice - which comments on the female body through common household materials - Forsenga explores the erasure of the female form and aspirations of images of perfection never reached as three performers tangle themselves between triangular compositions of nude and black hosiery. Performed at the feet of Mestre João Grande's historic Capoeira Angola School, sound, movement, and voice link performers to their physical landscape. Performed by Katrina De Wees, Ebony Golden, Eva Lessinger and the public. Costumes in collaboration with the performers and Raina Sutton. Sound Design by Allison Smartt. Photo by Sasha Mishkin.

Wednesday, October 10 from 7:30-8:30pm and Saturday, October 13 from 2-3pm
Location:
The performance will take place at 100-104 West 14th Street at 6th Avenue.
