YOGGS FAMILY NEWSLETTER, 2014-present.
A trio created and performed by Taryn Griggs and Chris Yon,with their daughter Bea Yon.
Dance, for our family, is a parenthesis for life experience. Periods of our lives that we spent working on choreography coincide with periods of major things happening in our lives and in the world. The ephemerality of our performance is informed by the ephemerality of childhood and parenthood. While the dances we make look "abstract" or non-narrative, this collection of dances addresses how we capture experiences, create memories, and attach significance to when and where we dance together and who we meet along the way as part of our family story.
