About this performance
Award-winning choreographer and performer Kyle Abraham presents an evening-length program of new work inspired by jazz great Max Roach’s We Insist Freedom Now. The performance features Hallowed, set to a series of spiritual hymns; The Gettin’, an ensemble work created in collaboration with Grammy award-winning jazz musician Robert Glasper and world renowned visual artist Glenn Ligon; and When the Wolves Came In, an ensemble work for six dancers set to the music of the acclaimed American contemporary composer Nico Muhly.
About the artist
Kyle Abraham / Abraham.In.Motion
The mission of Kyle Abraham/Abraham.In.Motion is to create an evocative interdisciplinary body of work. Born into hip-hop culture in the late 1970s and grounded in Abraham’s artistic upbringing in classical cello, piano, and the visual arts, the goal of the movement is to delve into identity in relation to a personal history. The work entwines a sensual and provocative vocabulary with a strong emphasis on sound, human behavior and all things visual in an effort to create an avenue for personal investigation and exposing that on stage. A.I.M. is a representation of dancers from various disciplines and diverse personal backgrounds. Combined together, these individualities create movement that is manipulated and molded into something fresh and unique.
