White Space
Kyle Abraham | A.I.M
In 2026, Dance Reflections by Van Cleef & Arpels is supporting Kyle Abraham for White Space, and is supporting its presentation at la Maison de la danse and at Théâtre de la Ville - Paris.
White Space brings together acclaimed composers, Jason Moran and Nico Muhly, for a haunting new collaborative score that pierces the heart of choreographer Kyle Abraham’s newest evening-length dance.
At just over one hour, this dance work grounds its cast of 11 captivating dancers in a restless and thought-provoking world fueled by a vast movement vocabulary consisting of Abraham’s signature blend of classical and contemporary dance with a hip-hop underbelly. The score is performed live by two pianists on one piano, with echoes of prerecorded hip-hop driving the collision of reality and idealism.
White Space marks the second time that Kyle Abraham is collaborating with world-renowned visual artist, Glenn Ligon, on scenic design. Other collaborators include noted costume designers, Reid Bartelme and Harriet Jung, and longtime lighting collaborator, Dan Scully.
