Okwui Okpokwasili and Peter Born: Dancer in New York

About Okwui Okpokwasili and Peter Born

Okwui Okpokwasili and Peter Born work between dance, performance, and devised structure, often building pieces through close attention to language, rhythm, and the body in time. Their collaboration has appeared in New York City contexts, including Danspace Project, where they present *day pulls down the sky*. Okpokwasili’s performance practice leans on endurance and vocal presence, while Born’s compositional frame tends toward spare, intentional sequencing. Together they favor precision and accumulation over narrative closure.
