5 Minute Dance (You Drivin’?)

5 Minute Dance (You Drivin’?)

A new quartet, 5 Minute Dance (You Drivin’?), was created in part during Abraham’s first semester working with the Glorya Kaufman School of Dance at USC. After exploring a new duet in the studio with A.I.M dancers Keerati Jinakunwiphat and Kar’mel Antonyo Wade Small, Abraham brought this work in progress to his students at the USC Glorya Kaufman School of Dance. Assigning the students different variations of the work, the duet has now become a quartet. Music by pioneering electronic musician and past A.I.M collaborator Jlin scores the dynamic work.
