September 27 – 28 & October 4 & 6 (NYCB) – David H. Koch Theater

September 29 – October 1 (A.I.M.) The Joyce Theater  
For NYCB, Abraham, the only African American choreographer to create a work on the ballet company in over a decade will premiere The Runaway. The work, writes Terry Trucco for Playbill, “…began with a playlist he created after watching Company class. A classically trained musician, he selected “music that would shake things up,” including jazz standards, hip hop, contemporary compositions, and obscure electronica. In the studio, his pulsating playlist often served as a mood backdrop as he choreographed. He didn’t finalize his score until he could see how different pieces spoke to the way the dancers were moving.”   Almost overlapping engagements, Abraham’s company A.I.M will be a part of NY Quadrille with the very intimate Dearest Home (2017).  Find out more here & here
