Organized around the late, under-acknowledged dancer Fred Herko, this one-day symposium will illuminate Herko's experimental entanglements with the Judson Dance Theater, Andy Warhol, Jill Johnston and other figures of his time. In an effort to conjure the past, present and future relevance of this dance artist, eight guests, artists, scholars and writers engage in a series of conversations that they are calling The Herko Dialogues. Guests are Kyle Bukhari, Yve Laris Cohen, Adrienne Edwards, Claudia La Rocco, Raja Feather Kelly, Tavia Nyong'o, Jillian Peña and Jen Rosenblit.
