“The Other Witch” Choreographed and Performed by Nejla Yatkin
“The Other Witch” is a multi-media performance featuring elements of contemporary dance, dance ritual, text, sound and music. The solo is a haunting visual experience that alludes to the untamable aspects of nature. Yatkin draws inspiration from Mary Wigman’s 1914 “Hexentanz” but creates a new interpretation.
Described by The New York Times as “a magician, telling tales and creating worlds” and “a fierce and supple performer,” Chicago-based choreographer Nejla Yatkin travels the globe inspiring empathic connections between people and their environments.
