Are You In Your Feelings?
About the Performance
Acclaimed choreographer Kyle Abraham’s Are You in Your Feelings? is a celebration of Black culture, Black music, and the youthful spirit that perseveres in us all. Scored to a “mixtape” of soul, hip hop, and R&B, it highlights the bridge between music, communication, and personal memory. Abraham combines hip hop and modern dance vernaculars to create a dynamic and thoroughly contemporary movement language, with the dancers shifting from technical virtuosity to interactions that convey emotional and romantic entanglements.
