In 1982 at the White Dog Performance Studio in New York, Just Above Midtown Gallery presented Blind Dates, a collaboration by dancer Blondell Cummings, artist Senga Nengudi, and musician Yasunao Tone. The performance was an instance of JAM working more closely with other alternative art spaces after moving downtown, and of close collaboration between different artists: here, Cummings took the lead dance role, Yasunao composed the score, and Nengudi designed the costumes and an accompanying photo project.Lona Foote (American, 1948–1993).
