Visions & Voices presents Communication Across Borders: An International Dialogue
Nov. 9, 2009, marks the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall. Choreographer Nejla Yatkin was a teenager in Berlin living with the reality of the divided city. She experienced the threat of conflict between East and West and saw the world open up when the wall went down. The event will include a screening and short performance of a contemporary dance piece by Yatkin that reflects and subverts the interaction between individuals and the emotional impact of barriers. Following the presentation, Carola Weil, Annenberg associate dean for planning and strategic initiatives, will moderate a discussion with Yatkin and Annenberg faculty members Sandy Tolan, Josh Kun and Roberto Suro.
