Eiko Otake on an Artist of Rebellion and Rejection: Otake Chikuha
NEW YORK, November 18, 2023 — Dance artist Eiko Otake reflects on the life and artistry of her grandfather Otake Chikuha. Photographer and historian William Johnston joins Eiko onstage in reimagining Chikuha within the rapid social, cultural, and political changes that occurred during the Meiji (1868-1912) and ensuing Taisho (1912-1926) eras for today’s audiences. Rachel Cooper, director of Performing Arts, Cultural Programs, and Culture as Diplomacy at Asia Society, moderates the conversation. (1 hr., 34 sec.)
