In her newest creation, choreographer Emily Johnson builds on a decade of profound, immersive, and award-winning work engaging audiences in shared experiences of movement, place, history, and collective action. An artist of the Yup’ik Nation, Johnson centers Indigenous knowledges and perspectives in both her layered, multisensory works and in her land protective efforts, fostering a deeper relationship to the land we inhabit through her performance works. Being Future Being, with a score by Pulitzer Prize-winning Diné composer Raven Chacon, delves into the power of creation—revealing the potential of who we might become.
This presentation is made possible in part by a grant from the Association of Performing Arts Professionals, made possible through support from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.
