Open Rehearsal With Amy Khoshbin @ The Watermill Center

Watermill resident artist Amy Khoshbin, an artist working in dance and performance, presents her work The Myth of Layla with partner Liz McAuliffe to the public in an open rehearsal. The Myth of Layla is set in a near future when the United States is at war with Iran. This science fiction-themed performance explores the corruption of the political ideology of its main protagonist, Layla, an Iranian-American activist, through her participation in the American media system. As Layla’s fame increases and she is cast on a new reality show called Activists in Sexy Solidarity (A.S.S.), she must choose between her own beliefs and those of dubious external forces. Khoshbin deliberately creates a handmade aesthetic world for this piece using costumes, animation, and multi-channel video design to highlight the construction of so-called HD “reality” media. There is no admission fee, but reservations are required, and can be made on our website: watermillcenter.com/events.
