A.I.M by Kyle Abraham: White Space

About this event

Run Time: 1 hour White Space brings together acclaimed composers, Jason Moran and Nico Muhly, for a haunting new collaborative score that pierces the heart of choreographer Kyle Abraham’s newest evening-length dance. At just over one hour, this dance work grounds its cast of 11 captivating dancers in a restless and thought-provoking world fueled by a vast movement vocabulary consisting of Abraham’s signature blend of classical and contemporary dance with a hip-hop underbelly. The score is performed live by two pianists on one piano, with echoes of pre-recorded hip-hop driving the collision of reality and idealism. “lush movement, infectious music and magnetic dancers…” (The New York Times) A.I.M by Kyle Abraham is a contemporary dance company rich with influences across genres and disciplines while remaining unmistakably its own.
