A performance that brings together electronic music, choreography, and voice, created and performed by Hanako Hoshimi-Caines, Zoë Poluch, and Elisa Harkins, the work examines minimalism and contemporary dance through the lens of multiple cultural histories and embodied practices.
Drawing from abstraction, repetition, and pattern, the performance unsettles the perceived neutrality of minimalist aesthetics. Through shifting power dynamics and layered presence, the work makes visible what has often been rendered invisible within colonial systems of recognition.
The piece explores simultaneity, plurality, and the positioning of Western contemporary dance as one form among many rather than a universal standard. Rather than seeking a hybrid aesthetic, the work emerges from the specific convergence of the artists’ distinct histories, artistic training, and cultural experiences.
Radio III also functions as a relational space, proposing a metaphorical peacekeeping agreement between performers and audiences, and inviting reflection on coexistence across differences.
