(c)2014, Eva Yaa Asantewaa |
The egg--the pre-Christian, springtime symbol of regenerated life and hidden goodies--gets a new twist in
Yolk. The sensuous, mysterious dance installation, unfolding over just one half hour, is the latest site-specific piece by
Third Rail Projects, the award-winning team of
Zach Morris,
Tom Pearson,
Jennine Willett (
Looking Glass;
Then She Fell).

It's nearly Easter, sure. But those eggs?

Go to midtown's
Grace Plaza (1114 Avenue of the Americas at 43rd Street) at either 12:30pm or 1:10pm tomorrow, and you'll find two large, gleaming white eggs set atop elegant black-draped pedestals. Inside the eggs, dancers
Roxanne Kidd and
Jessy Smith move slowly, dreamily tumbling and undulating as if protected by an amniotic sac, and run their hands over the eggs' red felt lining. No Easter bunny in sight, but keep watch for a few surprises along the way. A meditative and beguiling way to spend your lunch hour!
