To Never Look Away

Eiko Otake

For 50 years, Eiko and her husband and artistic collaborator, Koma, have been pushing the edges of how dance movement is defined. Join Eiko as she relays her entry into the world of dance, her process, and her philosophy for making dances. Eiko discusses the work she created with Koma, her emergence as a solo artist, and the challenges of making performance art in public or in site-specific environments- specifically sites that hold complicated and dark histories, like her most recent work with historian and photographer William Johnston- at the Fukushima site in Japan.
