A.I.M by Kyle Abraham
Visionary choreographer Kyle Abraham brings his accomplished A.I.M company to Berkeley for its eagerly anticipated Cal Performances debut, featuring three works danced to live performances of the music that inspired them.
Abraham tells stories at the intersection of Black and queer culture, reflecting on themes of love, isolation, and personal and social change. Max Roach’s track “The Gettin,’” from his Freedom Now Suite infuses the movement on stage with a taut, edgy energy. If We Were a Love Song features moody music by Nina Simone sung by Crystal Monee Hall, setting the stage for a series of intimate solos and duets exploring different aspects of love. And the kinetic new 2 X 4 is a collaboration with composer and saxophonist Shelley Washington fueled by contrasts and oppositions.
