What Abraham brings…is an avant-garde aesthetic, an original and politically minded downtown sensibility that doesn’t distinguish between genres but freely draws on a vocabulary that is as much Merce [Cunningham] and Martha [Graham] as it is Eadweard Muybridge and Michael Jackson.

Led by MacArthur Genius Kyle Abraham, contemporary dance company A.I.M by Kyle Abraham is celebrated as “one of the most consistently excellent troupes working today” (The New York Times). Grounded in choreographer Abraham’s artistic vision, A.I.M’s work is informed by and made with artists across disciplines, entwining a sensual movement vocabulary with music, text, video, and visual art.
A.I.M offers a unique blend of modern dance styles ranging from ballet to hip hop, seasoned with human stories and social commentary, fueling a new movement in the dance world. The program features If We Were a Love Song, a stunning dance exploration of love set to a soul-stirring Nina Simone soundtrack and the world premiere of a new work set on the company by acclaimed choreographer Andrea Miller.
This is dance at its best – powerful, graceful, moving, and meaningful.
As an artist born in the late 1970s, I’ve experienced a change in society that brings me hope.
—Kyle Abraham, Artistic Director
