Events at Reed

Acclaimed choreographer, director, writer, conceptualist and installation artist, Ralph Lemon, is artistic director of Cross Performance, a company dedicated to the creation of cross-cultural and cross-disciplinary performance and presentation. Lemon's projects expand the definition of choreography by crossing and stretching the boundaries between Western, postmodern dance, and other art forms and cultures. For each project, he builds a team of collaborating artists from diverse cultural backgrounds, countries, and artistic disciplines, who bring their own history and aesthetic voice to the work. Projects develop organically, over a period of years, with frequent public sharings of work-in-progress, and the culminating artworks derive from the artistic, cultural, historic, and emotional material uncovered in this rigorous creative research process.
