The Gettin’
Created in collaboration with renown visual artist Glenn Ligon, as one of three repertory works during Kyle Abraham’s tenure as Resident Commissioned Artist at New York Live Arts from 2012-2014, The Gettin’ (2014) is a work for six dancers set to music by Grammy Award-winning jazz artist Robert Glasper and his trio, who reimagine Max Roach’s We Insist! Freedom Now Suite.
Dearest Home (Excerpt)
A.I.M presents a duet excerpt from Dearest Home (2017), an intimate dance work focused on Love, Longing and Loss. The work (created for six dancers as a series of solos, duets, and one trio) is a love letter to relationships, a meditation on memories, and ultimately, a source of healing.
In the act of undoing
In the act of undoing (2025) is a demanding work for the performers which requires unending collaboration as a means of revealing, loosening, broadening, reducing, strengthening, deepening, restructuring and interpreting. To animate the essence of what moves people, and elaborately demonstrate the rigor, unity, and diversity of our movements when we all remain on task.
Task is paramount, and at times should welcome discomfort.
