Yoko Murakami is a Tokyo-born, NYC-based movement artist. Her site-specific works use the body to activate and question the status quo. She is constantly exploring ways to blur the boundaries of creative mediums through her surreal, intuitive approach and cross-disciplinary collaborations. She is an active collaborator of Testu Collective since 2018. @yokoteki

Testu Collective is an NYC-based art group founded by Dan Tesene and Serena Stucke in 2017. They create performances to shift the audience’s perspectives by applying concepts from expanded cinema and intermedia. Their work reimagines visual systems and sonic environments through a combination of custom-made videos, experimental sound worlds, architectural elements, and sculptural movement. @testucollective www.testucollective.com

Matt Morris is a Brooklyn-based lighting designer with a varied pool of lighting experience including theater, dance and movement, comedy, and even theme park design. He has had the privilege of designing at Triskelion Arts since 2019 and collaborating with amazing artists on projects such as Jamal Jackson's "grEeneR grASsEs", 2nd Best Dance's "Red", and Nicole Wolcott's "Luggage Lost". He is very excited to be a part of the Backyard Series and help support the artists and creative minds making great art.

Triskelion Arts Presents is brought to you in part by:

 

We respectfully acknowledge that the work of Triskelion Arts is situated on the traditional, ancestral, unceded territory of Lenapehoking, the homeland of the Lenape peoples. We pay our respects to their land, water, and ancestors, past, present, and future. This acknowledgment demonstrates a commitment to the process of working to dismantle the ongoing legacies of settler colonialism and to learning to be better stewards of this land.
