A.I.M. by Kyle Abraham

An Untitled Love

October 20-22

Tickets from $25

“Elastic and electric, luxuriantly rippling, poetically arranged with moments of perfect stillness that arrive amid splashes of expression”

— Dance Magazine

“An Untitled Love beautifully presents dance as interpersonal communication. It’s a theatrical love letter to social dance.”

— The New York Times

Sensual, sophisticated, and breathtakingly visual, this new production by acclaimed choreographer Kyle Abraham is propelled by the seductive R&B and soul music of enigmatic GRAMMY-winner D’Angelo. Starting as an electrically-charged house party on stage, the evening evolves into a joyous, multifaceted celebration of love with powerful and virtuosic dancing by the 10 members of Abraham’s celebrated company. Abraham dedicates this feel-good work — its visceral hope, solace, and joy — to family, culture, and community strengthened over generations and lifetimes.

Returning to OZ Arts for the first time since his stunning 2015 Nashville debut, Abraham has become one of today’s most acclaimed and sought-after choreographers, known for theatrical and poetic work immersed in Hip-hop culture. He has been honored as a MacArthur “Genius” Fellow, a recipient of the Princess Grace Statue Award, and a Jacob’s Pillow Dance Award winner, and was the first Black choreographer to make work for the New York City Ballet in over a decade.

“What Abraham brings…is an avant-garde aesthetic, an original and politically minded downtown sensibility that doesn’t distinguish between genres but freely draws on a vocabulary that is as much Merce and Martha as it is Eadweard Muybridge and Michael Jackson.”
