Paramodernities is a multidisciplinary project by NYC-based artist Netta Yerushalmy that engages deeply with the canon of modern dance in radical, reverent, and violent ways in order to spark new ideas, choreographies, and conversations. For this West Coast debut, Yerushalmy shared responses to Vaslav Nijinsky, Alvin Ailey, and Merce Cunningham followed by public discussions.
