Opacity of Performance – An AWP Offsite Event with Heather Kravas

Northwest Film Forum presents an AWP offsite event, featuring readings from artist Takahiro Yamamoto and scholar Jang Wook Huh along with a dance performance by Seattle-based choreographer Heather Kravas. Yamamoto’s latest book, Opacity of Performance, takes its title from his 2022 performance installation at the Portland Art Museum.

This dynamic reading expands upon the book’s investigations into visibility and objectification and uses the lens of choreography to question the opacity of performance.
