A.I.M by Kyle Abraham: Mixed Repertory

ABOUT THE EVENT

Considered “one of the most consistently excellent troupes working today” by The New York Times, the MacArthur and Doris Duke Award-winning choreographer Kyle Abraham's dance company A.I.M has solidified his position at the very forefront of the contemporary dance world. Founded in 2006, A.I.M's focus has always been squarely on movement galvanized by Black culture and history, with an emphasis on the rich intersectional tapestry of Black and Queer stories. The work, informed by and made in conjunction with artists across a range of disciplines, entwines a sensual and provocative vocabulary with a strong emphasis on music, text, video and visual art. Abraham has crafted more than 15 original pieces with the company that make up the core of their current repertory alongside works by Trisha Brown, Andrea Miller, Bebe Miller, Doug Varone and A.I.M dancer and early-career choreographer Keerati Jinakunwiphat.
