A.I.M by Kyle Abraham is dedicated to creating dance-based work galvanized by Black culture and history and featuring the rich 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. Through a distinct movement vocabulary, Kyle Abraham brings forth the nuances and complexities of Black and Queer identities, contributing to a more inclusive and diverse representation in the world of contemporary dance.  

A.I.M. by Kyle Avraham will present a mixed repertory including If I Were A Love Song, a series of poetic vignettes set to some of Nina Simone’s most intimate songs. Composed primarily of solos and duets, the work unfolds like a series of living portraits, deepening our reflections on community, love, and one’s self; and MotorRover, a new duet both abstract and tender, created by Kyle Abraham in conversation with Merce Cunningham's 1972 ensemble work, Landrover. The piece is unadorned with no music or set, but in the silence, one can almost hear the earth rearranging itself as America continues to shift beneath the dancers' steady feet.
