June 2 – 3
Kyle Marshall with dancers Oluwadamilare Ayorinde and Myssi Robinson have been in deep research in the making of Marshall’s first full evening work, Colored. Marshall notes, Colored “…honors the dark twisted beauty of blackness while demonstrating the inherent struggle in abstracting the black dancing form.” To that end, the work traverses many terrains to find answers asked of each dancer. Colored is commissioned in part by "Dance on the Lawn: Montclair’s Dance Festival, EMoves Harlem Stage, and Jersey (New) Moves Dance Festival at New Jersey Performing Arts Center and features original music and decor by Matt Clegg. Colored runs June 2 - 3 at the Actors Fund Arts Center. There will be a brief Q & A with the artists after Friday’s performance. Find out more here
