IMMGEWD
By: Jobel Medina & Elliott Sellers
After its premiere at The Broad, choreographer Jobel Medina and multi-instrumentalist Elliott Sellers now expand IMMDED IMMGEWD into a 50-minute live performance, fusing unconventional percussion, cello, and visceral movement. The two artists engage in a dynamic and intimate dialogue using their bodies and musical instruments, exploring a range of possibilities in their relationship within the piece.
Special thank you to Los Angeles Dance Project and The Broad for providing a home for this project.
