Trajal Harrell - Made to Measure
Trajal Harrell - Made to Measure
Held at the Yale School of Art’s 32 Edgewood Gallery, Made-to-Measure is a series of works that examines a conversation between two very different kinds of dance both with roots in 1960s New York. A talk at the Yale University Art Gallery moderated by Curator Mark Mitchell explores Trajal’s career and inspirations as a dancer and choreographer. The appearance closes with a workshop, “The choreographic world of Trajal Harrel,” which introduces participants to the artist’s choreographic and performative practice as part of the Schwarzman Center’s EveryBody Dances masterclass series. Each performance showcases Harrell’s masterful storytelling, eclectic range and influence—from voguing and post-modern to ancient Greek mythology and Japanese butoh dance—earning him the acclaim as “the next Martha Graham.”
