White Space brings together acclaimed composers, Jason Moran and
Nico Muhly, for a haunting new collaborative score that pierces the
heart of choreographer Kyle Abraham’s newest evening-length dance.
At just over one hour, this dance work grounds its cast of 11 captivating
dancers in a restless and thought-provoking world fueled by a vast
movement vocabulary consisting of Abraham’s signature blend of
classical and contemporary dance with a hip-hop underbelly. The score
is performed live by two pianists on one piano, with echoes of pre-
recorded hip-hop driving the collision of reality and idealism.

White Space marks the second time that 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.
