​FLEXN Evolution
Park Avenue Armory
May 18 – 21

Flex dancer Reggie (Regg Roc) Gray and director Peter Sellars come together again for another FLEXN Evolution. According to the release, this time around, “Re-envisioned with newly created scenes since the Armory’s premiere of FLEXN in 2015, FLEXN Evolution is newly intimate, emotionally focused, personal, virtuosic, and transcendent, while embodying the next steps in a form that breaks news from the artistic and political front lines. The work epitomizes the Brooklyn-born street dance flex, transformed from its individual, combative style into a collaborative work of bone-breaking and boundary-breaking social activism, human exchange, and sheer artistic daring.” Find out more here
