Multi award-winning Abraham entwines a sensual and provocative choreographic vocabulary with a strong emphasis on sound, human behaviour and all things visual, creating work that is manipulated and molded into something fresh and unique. By fusing together elements of hip-hop, jazz, African forms and modern dance, he shapes dynamic movement for his group of charismatic and versatile dancers.
“…They appease the audience’s appetite for virtuosity, while bringing out the inner philosopher, making the evening’s happenings linger long after the curtain goes down.” – Theatre Jones
“…an attractive company of dancers who perform with spontaneity and sincerity.” – New York Times
“…ambitious in the very best sense of the word: Choreographer Kyle Abraham took on complex, hot-button topics and handled them ably and honestly…he revealed himself to be hungry to keep innovating.” – The Washington Post
“The feel of the whole evening was refreshingly of-the-moment: The steps were new and original, and Abraham’s tone felt relevant to today’s conversation about race….it was a welcome treat to see a program that was so inviting to a new generation of theater-goers.” – The Washington Post
