Nearly 6 feet tall, with a hypnotic voice and limbs that swallow up space, the choreographer, writer, performer and director Okwui Okpokwasili pushes herself to the edge. Okwui plays with extremes of ecstasy, sadness and rage with almost dangerous intensity. Her latest work, “Poor People’s TV Room,” a meeting of dance, text, song, video and installation, is even more elusive than her previous works. While her initial inspirations may not be obvious in the final piece, they informed the questions that run through it — questions that she that she continues to ask. “What is it, my interest in brown bodies and brown women performing?” she said to @ニューヨーク・タイムズ writer @siobhanfburke. In thinking about those questions, Okwui and husband and longtime creative partner, Peter Born, have experimented with revealing and obscuring the body, aided by his set design. “Maybe you can’t see the things you want,” she said. “Here are these black bodies, and maybe there are ways in which you can’t have access to them.” Visit the link in our profile to read the full story and to see more images by @heislerphoto.
