Hyphen - A Performance by Dana Tai Soon Burgess & Co

A/P/A Institute presents the New York premiere of Hyphen at the New York University Jack H. Skirball Center for the Performing Arts. Known for Asian-inspired works and visual clarity, the Washington, D.C.-based Dana Tai Soon Burgess & Co.’s new work explores Hyphenated America. 

The piece looks at the experience of being a hyphenated American—Asian Americans but also other ethnic Americans and multi-racial Americans,” says artistic director and choreographer Dana Tai Soon Burgess. “Does the hyphen connect or separate our hybrid identities? There’s definitely a struggle going on; commonality is a difficult process in a multifaceted America.
