KYLE ABRAHAM – A.I.M:

THE UNTITLED D’ANGELO PROJECT is an evening-length work, for eight to ten dancers, focused on the concept of ‘Black Love’ and the 2014 release of D’Angelo & The Vanguard’s critically acclaimed album, ‘The Black Messiah.’ The creative process for this work focuses on celebrating love and unity in the black community, through multi-generational conversations and workshops, culminating in live performance inspired by the power and universality of D’Angelo’s ground-breaking music.

REGGIE WILSON/FIST & HEEL PERFORMANCE GROUP:

POWER is the working title of Reggie Wilson’s new evening-length dance performance work. This work represents Wilson’s investigations related to the early evolution of African American spiritual worship in the pantheon of American Christian religions and expands on his research into ring shouts and African American worship. Points-of-inspiration for this work include black Shaker Eldress Mother Rebecca Cox Jackson, The First Great Awakening and American Utopianism, Binary Opposition, and research from his work The Littlest Baptist.
