DANCE

An extraordinary performer called "equal parts power and grace" by Steve Sucato of Dance Magazine, which listed him among its elite "25 to Watch" in 2009, Kyle Abraham's diverse training in classical music, visual art, and dance forms from ballet to hip-hop give range and depth to his sleek, evocative work. His company performs "The Radio Show", which highlights the function of radio in urban history, culture, and community through pop music from the 1960s, 70s and today, and a world premiere co-commissioned by Jacob's Pillow, created in part during a Creative Development Residency program and inspired by the photography of Eadweard Muybridge.
