With “a choreographic voice like no one else’s” (The New York Times), Kyle Marshall Choreography presents a mixed-repertory performance of works that find joy, history, liberation, and space in the dancing body.

The program features STELLAR, a dance of improvisational scores inspired by Afrofuturism, the echoes of Free jazz and the particles of stars within us; Rise, a work inspired by the shout traditions of the Black church and the transcendence of club music; I & I, an ongoing exploration and affirmation of Marshall’s Jamaican body winin’ through depictions of hyper-masculinity, queerness and redemption.

A 2018 Juried Bessie Award winner and a 2020 Dance Magazine Harkness Promise Award recipient, Artistic Director Kyle Marshall sees the dancing body as a container of history, an igniter of social reform, and a site of celebration. He is joined on stage by performers Bree Breeden, José Lapaz-Rodriguez, Taína Lyons, David Lee Parker, and Ariana Speight, live sound collaborators Cal Fish and Dial Winfield, and additional music by the Congos, Dawn Penn, Bob Marley and the Wailers, and Julius Eastman.

Please plan to arrive no later than 30 minutes prior to your performance time to allow for vaccination checks, security screenings, and seating.
