AIRMW Artist Presentation Series – Rika Lin
@ Asian Improv aRts Midwest (AIRMW)
4875 N Elston Ave, Chicago, IL 60630
Opening Monday, March 24th, from 6:30PM - 8PM
Asian Improv aRts Midwest presents the AIRMW Artist Presentation Series featuring our in-house and close collaborative artists. Each person will be presenting their artistic practices with a performative element followed by a discussion moderated by AIRMW Executive and Artistic Director, Tatsu Aoki.
For the second in the spring series, Rika Lin (Fujima Yoshinojo) will be presenting a talk on her work with a short excerpt of a dance.
Rika Lin aka Yoshinojo Fujima (she/her) is an interdisciplinary artist, dancemaker, creative producer, and Grandmaster in Fujima-style Japanese classical dance. She is a part of the postwar Japanese American diaspora. Her process and art springs forth from a complete immersion in traditional practice which has continued for over 35 years. She has performed her original works and collaborations at various venues such as Links Hall, the Chicago Cultural Center, Pritzker Pavilion, Harris Theater, UrbanGuild (Kyoto, Japan), and the Museum of Contemporary Art, where she premiered her full-length work “Asobi: Playing within Time” (2018). Her works embody identity and tradition through performance as does her teaching practice in nihon buyo. Her processes focus on questioning and challenging roles, identity, convention, and tradition in the contemporary context using dance, music, film, VR, and traditional Japanese arts media.
