A.I.M by Kyle Abraham

Tue Apr 22 - Sun Apr 27

The celebrated contemporary dance company, A.I.M by Kyle Abraham, brings thought-provoking movement rooted in Black and queer history and culture to the forefront under Abraham’s visionary leadership. This compelling program features new works by Princess Grace Award recipients Andrea Miller and Rena Butler, alongside creations by Paul Singh and Artistic Director Kyle Abraham. Miller’s YEAR reflects on presence and identity in the digital age, while Butler’s Shell of A Shell of The Shell delves into self-exploration amid cultural pressures. Singh’s Just Your Two Wrists pairs David Lang’s hauntingly beautiful score, with a powerful narrative of loss and resilience. Abraham’s latest work, his first collaboration with composer Shelley Washington, is a swift, kinetic piece blending fluidity and strength with accompanying live music. Together, these works underscore A.I.M’s dedication to storytelling through dance, drawing audiences into nuanced journeys of connection, identity, and resilience.
