Katherine Kyle Abraham is a dancer, choreographer, Artistic Director of Abraham.in.Motion, and recipient of the 2012 Jacob's Pillow Dance Award. He has worked with Bill T. Jones, Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, and New York City Ballet star Wendy Whelan, and his brilliant company is a Pillow audience favorite. In his newest work, Pavement, he layers urban and classical dance influences, bold imagery, and gripping, voluptuous movement. Inspired by the Pittsburgh, PA neighborhoods of his youth, the film Boyz n the Hood, and the work of W.E.B. DuBois, Abraham and his company of striking dancers establish a poignant and provocative world onstage. A full-evening dance, Pavement includes a wide variety of music, ranging from Bach to Sam Cooke, encompassing themes of love and pain in this "work of great subtlety and beauty" (The New Yorker).

- The New York Times 

In honor of the 100th anniversary of the original iconoclastic dance The Rite of Spring, created by composer Igor Stravinsky and choreographer Vaslav Nijinsky, America's most celebrated modern dance company re-stages Martha Graham's acclaimed interpretation. Graham's 1984 Rite of Spring is full of her signature intensity, bold styling, and beautifully stark choreography; Anna Kisselgoff of The New York Times writes "...in her evocation of seemingly remote climes and cultures, she can make us recognize universal emotions." The program also includes new contemporary dances: Lamentation Variations, a collection of contemporary dances inspired by Graham's famous solo, and a new work by noted Spanish choreographer Nacho Duato.

Based in Montréal and founded by renowned Artistic Director and choreographer Ginette Laurin in 1984, O Vertigo Danse has been a dynamic force in the dance world for more than 25 years.

Katherine FIVE DANCES, choreographer Jonah Bokaer and writer-director Alan Brown reveal an intimate and inspirational portrait of a small downtown modern dance company. This story of five gifted New York dancers features Chip (Broadway's Ryan Steele in his first film role), an extraordinarily talented 18 year-old who is quickly initiated into the rites of passage of a New York dancer's life, where discipline and endless hard work, camaraderie and competitiveness, and the fear of not being good enough inform every minute of every day. 

Shooting in and around a Soho dance studio, Brown and his longtime cinematographer Derek McKane capture the exhilaration and emotional turmoil of a small dance company, and all of Chip's poignant firsts--the forging of friendships, being chosen for the important solo, and his first love affair.

Blake's Barn, tickets $10
In the new film FIVE DANCES, choreographer Jonah Bokaer and writer-director Alan Brown reveal an intimate and inspirational portrait of a small downtown modern dance company. This story of five gifted New York dancers features Chip (Broadway's Ryan Steele in his first film role), an extraordinarily talented 18 year-old who is quickly initiated into the rites of passage of a New York dancer's life, where discipline and endless hard work, camaraderie and competitiveness, and the fear of not being good enough inform every minute of every day.
