ABOUT THIS CHOREOGRAPHER & PERFORMANCE: Choreographer Kyle Abraham will create a new dance work for his company Abraham.in.Motion (A.I.M) entitled White Space, an evening-length dance-theater work for 12 dancers that makes space for humor, solitude, comfort and catastrophe. Equal parts a conversation and an intentional contradiction, White Space features an original commissioned score by composers Jason Moran and Nico Muhly, and explores the uncomfortable space of belonging and the often unwelcome acknowledgment of “the other.” This 50-plus minute dance work, rooted in a “post-modern gumbo” of social dance practices, questions what constitutes “contemporary experience”, and defines it as the casual and passive observance of what surrounds us, but more so our collective participation.

CARPOOLING/RIDE-SHARE: Carpooling is a great way to get to know other men, save money on gas, and help to reduce your carbon footprint and save the planet. If you need a ride or are open to carpooling, please indicate that when you are registering, & our ride coordinator will try to match you with people nearby who are interested in carpooling or offering rides.
