Ishmael Houston-Jones & Miguel Gutierrez – “Variations on Themes From Lost and Found”
Variations on Themes from Lost and Found: Scenes from a Life and other works by John Bernd is a collage of choreography and music John Bernd (1953-1988) created during the last seven years of his life.
From the late 70’s throughout the 80’s to his untimely death at the age of 35 in 1988, John Bernd relentlessly created a body of work that was singular in its vision and force. He was a key figure of the East Village scene and was one of the first artists to deal openly with gay themes. He worked interdisciplinarily, and with an extraordinary array of dance artists who would go on to make some of the most interesting work in New York.
