Marquis Series: Izumi Ashizawa's 'Kurogo Me!'

Izumi Ashizawa is a Japanese-born-raised-trained performance art practitioner and visual artist. Specialized in cross-cultural trans-media performance art, she reinterprets Japanese traditional codes and places them in a different context to give a new meaning through physical story-telling, unconventional puppetry, and object animation. Izumi returns to the Coe College for the Marquis Series with Kurogo Me! where she will invite the audience into an intimate immersive experience. The theme of the performance is an “invisible” woman character dressed in Kurogo costume. She will utilize the Japanese traditional code, questioning the meaning of being “invisible” in racial, social, gender, and colonial perspectives. *Special note: This event will take place on Sinclair Stage. Audience members will be seated on the stage with the performer in an intimate setting.
