The Floating World


In Malashock Dance’s The Floating World, contemporary forms of music, dance and image-making draw inspiration from Japanese woodblock prints (Ukiyo-e) to reveal what it takes to create a ‘façade of beauty’ in the arts today. Choreographer John Malashock and UCSD-based filmmaker/projection artist Tara Knight co-conceived the work, which includes a score by Bay Area ‘avant’ cellist Zoe Keating and costumes by fashion icon Zandra Rhodes.
