New Film

Chapter 1.

We're launching into a new chapter. A new name, a new website made possible by the Bloomberg Philanthropies Digital Accelerator Program, and now, a dance film in collaboration with filmmaker, director, and photographer Christian Padron. Chapter 1 represents Kyle Abraham Dance Vanguard’s enduring passion for collaborating with inspiring artists across mediums to create art and opportunity both onstage and beyond.

52-week salaries and royalties. A company where dancers are whole people, not seasonal resources.
