YOGGS FAMILY NEWSLETTER (2014–present) is a dance and sound collage created and performed by Taryn Griggs and Chris Yon, narrated by their daughter Bea Yon.

Taryn Griggs and Chris Yon create original dance works that are deadpan slapstick, understated melodrama, autobiographical science fiction, cubist vaudeville, asymmetrically consonant explorations of magic and virtuosity in everyday movement. For the last few years, their daughter Bea Yon has joined their practice and they work under the moniker, The Yoggs. The Yoggs are a family trio ensemble making autobiographical sound and dance collages. Their “Yoggs Family Newsletter” is about the ephemerality of parenthood and childhood. How they as a family create memories and how they perform memories inscribed on their bodies. Their newsletter is a growing collection of dances that addresses how they capture experiences and attach significance to when and where they dance together and who they meet along the way as part of their family story.
