SUMMARY:White Space (Avant Premiere)
DESCRIPTION:Location: Jenny Belzberg Theatre\nPrice: $55\n\nQuestioning form and expectations and jostling between theatrical and somatic ideals of confrontation and conversation\, White Space is a new evening-length work. The performance features 11 captivating dancers in a restless and thought-provoking world fueled by a vast movement vocabulary consisting of Kyle Abraham’s signature blend of classical and contemporary dance with a hip-hop underbelly. \n\nThe work brings together acclaimed composers\, Jason Moran and Nico Muhly\, for a haunting new collaborative score that pierces the heart of choreographer Abraham’s newest dance. \n\nThe original score\, written for two pianists on a single piano\, echoes with hip-hop driving the collision of reality and idealism.\n\nWhite Space marks the second time Abraham is collaborating with world-renowned visual artist\, Glenn Ligon\, on scenic design. Other collaborators include noted costume designers\, Reid Bartelme and Harriet Jung\, and longtime lighting collaborator\, Dan Scully. \n\n"Kyle Abraham has a mission — and it’s bigger than himself. He likes to spread the love with his company\, A.I.M.\, and\, in doing so\, broaden the viewer’s experience of what a dance concert by a choreographer-led company can be." -Gia Kourlas\, The New York Times\n“For almost 20 years\, the inclusive modern dance company has brought thought-provoking movement rooted in Black and queer history and culture to the forefront…” -Freya Drohan\, Vogue\n\nBanff Centre for Arts and Creativity is e\n\nMore: https://hasansharif.ca/events/2026-06-05-white-space-avant-premiere\nSource: https://www.facebook.com/events/3851641121799196/
