HopeBoykinDance

Two-time Bessie Award-winning choreographer, writer, director, and filmmaker Hope Boykin arrives for her highly anticipated Pillow debut with HopeBoykinDance, presenting a series of working performed by 23 dancers. Known for her deeply expressive movement language, Boykin has recently created new works for Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, Ballet Black of London, Martha Graham Dance Company, and Paul Taylor Dance Company.

An acclaimed former member of Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, PHILADANCO!, and Complexions Contemporary Ballet, Boykin brings a compelling collaboration of contemporary modern movement, spoken word, and storytelling to the stage. She has brought Jacqueline Woodson’s The Other Side to the stage for the Kennedy Center’s Family Theater, BAM-Brooklyn Academy of Music, and Krannert Center for the Performing Arts. She choreographed the 50th Anniversary Celebration of Leonard Bernstein’s MASS at the Kennedy Center and has presented HopeBoykinDance at The Joyce Theater, 92NY, and the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture in Harlem.
