At the core of KinoSaito’s physical space, and its mission, is the theater. A 1500sf vaulted space, the theater is the site of original new works of theater and performance, as well works from Kikuo Saito’s theater oeuvre reimagined by contemporary performance groups. Regular programming includes dance performances, film screenings and concert recitals, along with performances, installations and new media work by artists in residence and visiting artists and companies.
Maya Perry
Born in 1994 in New York, USA
Lives and works in New Haven, USA
Maya Perry recently graduated from Yale University MFA Painting/Printmaking program. She spent her formative years as a drummer/singer in the experimental duo Laila and lives as a painter/performer. Her goal is to create sources of light where the internal and external can exist simultaneously and forgotten, repressed, and/or present experiences can come to the surface. Her practice oscillates from mediums and techniques such as painting to 16mm film to stop-motion animation, writing, sound, and performance. She is recently incorporating themes of looping, record-making, and recording into her practice and wishes to highlight the Neurodivergent perspective about time, space, and experience.
