Avy K Productions is an experimental and improvisational interdisciplinary company that explores aspects of improvisation (particularly structured improvisation), creates multimedia productions with dance as the main focus, and presents dance media in different types of venues. Avy K’s signature audio-visual-kinetic approach uses the principles of visual art but the tools of improvised physical movement.

Avy K will perform the next page of The Book on March 22nd at noon at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts as part of dance anywhere®. This page will include a dance diary with sculptures and illustrations in the Yerba Buena Lobby Space. Each page of The Book provokes new ways of observing and perceiving dance media.

The Book is a series of installation/performances that will never be complete, inspired by Jorge Luis Borges: “The number of pages in this book is exactly infinite. No page is the first; none the last.”

The Book -a multimedia installation- reflects the investigative process of a meditation on the inner world of the artist and the artist’s relationship with a rational society and a technological age. We allow our personal stories to enter the performance space and leave behind an intimate message using any art media, creating a collective public diary.

The sculpture/installation “Dancers,” by Vadim Puyandaev, relies on the instinct of a dancing body. This sculpture-installation focuses on the elements of balance, distribution of weight, centrality, dynamics of spiraling, and the pressure present in plane surfaces. 

Featuring Artists: Erika Tsimbrovsky, Vadim Puyandaev, Kristen Greco, Daniel Bear Davis, Mihyun Lee, Andrew Ward, Ronja Ver, Sarah Day Hanson, PC Muñoz, Aleksey Bochkovsky and Kedar Lawrence.
