Program Notes: Upcoming on "Body and Soul"

Kyle Abraham--native of Pittsburgh and MFA graduate of NYU Tisch School of the Arts--has danced in the companies of Nathan Trice, Bill T. Jones, Mimi Garrard, Kevin Wynn, among others, and is now making a name for himself as an independent choreographer with promise. This week, Abraham joins Bessie winner Layard Thompson on a program of new work at Dance Theater Workshop (Wednesday-Saturday, December 3-6, 7:30pm).

Emerging choreographer Kyle Abraham is recognized for his smooth, athletic Hip-Hop influenced style. Brick, a solo for Kyle, blends this signature style with influences from American visual artist Kara Walker and 17th century Japanese artist Hishikawa Moronobu. In The Dripping Kind, a group piece for seven dancers, Kyle explores a more dissonant, abstract movement style - a departure for the choreographer.
