Questioning form and expectations and jostling between theatrical and somatic ideals of confrontation and conversation, White Space is a new evening-length work. The performance features 11 captivating dancers in a restless and thought-provoking world fueled by a vast movement vocabulary consisting of Kyle Abraham’s signature blend of classical and contemporary dance with a hip-hop underbelly.
The work brings together acclaimed composers, Jason Moran and Nico Muhly, for a haunting new collaborative score that pierces the heart of choreographer Abraham’s newest dance.
The original score, written for two pianists on a single piano, echoes with hip-hop driving the collision of reality and idealism.
White Space marks the second time Abraham is collaborating with world-renowned visual artist, Glenn Ligon, on scenic design. Other collaborators include noted costume designers, Reid Bartelme and Harriet Jung, and longtime lighting collaborator, Dan Scully.
