Kyle Marshall Choreography
December 4-7
BAM/Fisher
For this BAM debut, Marshall and his company brings Colored (2017) and the world premiere of A.D., as part of Next Wave 2019—the first season by artistic director David Binder.  Marshall has been investigating race and religion and in Colored he “…navigates the twisted spectrum of blackness that dancers Oluwadamilare Ayorinde, Myssi Robinson, and Marshall regularly embody. [Further] As three black dancers from varied backgrounds, their work together in the studio led to conversations on tokenism, appropriation, stereotype, and representation.”  And in the newer work, A.D., where dancers Bria Bacon and Miriam Gabriel are added to the cast, Marshall and Company delved into “…conversations surrounding Christianity and its influence on the body,” according to the release.  Find out more here
