Danspace Project: Lost and Found

Ishmael Houston-Jones and Miguel Gutierrez

Variations on Themes from Lost and Found: Scenes From a Life and other works by John Bernd is a re-construction and a re-imagining of the work by choreographer John Bernd (1953-1988), a pivotal figure in the 1980’s downtown NYC dance scene. Bernd was one of the first artists in that community to be diagnosed with HIV. Throughout his life he created interdisciplinary work dealing with themes of mortality, spirituality, and queer intimacy. In this piece, conceived by Ishmael Houston-Jones, who danced in all three of Bernd’s series Lost and Found: Scenes from a Life, excerpts are re-configured to create a new vision of his work that serves as a blueprint for what his work might have become.
