Movement takes center stage in our season-long examination of cultural and artistic connections as A.I.M. by Kyle Abraham opens a series of beautifully provocative dance performances.
Kyle Abraham is one of America's leading contemporary choreographers working in concert dance. In addition to choreographing for A.I.M., which he founded in 2006, Abraham has created commissioned works for such prestigious companies as Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, New York City Ballet, and The Royal Ballet. He was awarded a MacArthur Fellowship in 2013. He is a two-time Joyce Creative Residency Artist. And his awards include the Jacob’s Pillow Dance Award, the Creative Capital Award, and the Doris Duke Performing Artist Award.
A.I.M.’s mission is to create a body of dance-based work that is galvanized by Black culture and history and features the rich tapestry of Black and queer stories. A.I.M.’s work entwines a sensual and provocative vocabulary with a strong emphasis on music, text, video, and visual art. While grounded in choreographer Abraham’s artistic vision, A.I.M. draws inspiration from a multitude of sources and movement styles.
