Pillow Lab: In Process with A.I.M by Kyle Abraham | Showing: December 1, 2018 at 2pm
Founded by Jacob’s Pillow Dance Award Winner and MacArthur “Genius” Kyle Abraham, A.I.M returns to Jacob’s Pillow in development of THE UNTITLED D’ANGELO PROJECT. This evening-length work explores the concept of ‘Black Love’ through the lens of GRAMMY Award-winning R&B legend D’Angelo’s 2014 album Black Messiah and a creative process that celebrates love and unity in the black community with multi-generational conversations.
Aligning with the company’s mission, Abraham’s work focuses on the African-American communal experience, and its intersection with the personal or individual experience. For THE UNTITLED D’ANGELO PROJECT, Abraham dives into a specific aspect of black culture in the United States—‘Black Love’—exploring its many and various definitions within the community and individually, through movement joined with R&B music, and the visual art of Titus Kaphar and Mickalene Thomas, both of whose works contemplate issues surrounding race.
