Kosoko writes, “When I say matured, I mean artists who have been making professional work for 8 to 10 years. All of the artists featured in JUXTaPOSE are veteran performers and artmakers. They all have a detailed understanding of their process, their vision, and the role their voices hold in the overall landscape of regional dance and performance. The artists included in this year’s inaugural event are: Marcel Foster (Host), Eun Jung Choi, Meg Foley, Jillian Harris Farrell, Jungwoong Kim, and Rucyl Mills (DJ).
