Sidra Bell Dance New York<\/strong>\u00a0and acclaimed saxophonist, composer, and arranger\u00a0Immanuel Wilkins, are premiering\u00a0COMMUNION. Bell is the inaugural artist in residence at Gibney and the work was supported by expanded residency time at the center.\u00a0 The result is a pure dance display of the joy and ecstatic spontaneity created through improvisational modalities that Wilkins\u2019 contemplative and rich composition evokes.<\/p>\n

COMMUNION\u00a0was born out of research prompted by Bell\u2019s navigation of disconnection, loneliness, and faithfulness. With a poetic structure that\u2019s based on imagery, emotional structures, body design, and sensation, the work examines the current trajectory of despair and dystopia that permeates the way that we connect with our bodies through society\u2019s apparati. How does humanity intersect and transform through struggle? We allow the viewer to see and feel through frames, ruptures, forgiving structures, wandering pathways, and fragments. Things fall apart. This piece focuses on the ascendancy of community (muscle), compromise, effortfulness, support, simplicity, and love. This elegiac experience is a series of impressions, human huddles, and hybrid forms of movement set against a wild mixture of textures, design, and sound.<\/p>\n

The work features lighting by resident designer Amith Chandrashaker, set design by architect Cass Calder Smith, costumes by Caitlin Taylor, and sound design by Michael Roche. Sidra Bell Dance New York\u2019s eight-member company performs with live music by Immanuel Wilkins Quartet.<\/p>\n

Sidra Bell Dance New York<\/strong>\u00a0is presented by Gibney and curated by Nigel Campbell as part of the organization\u2019s 2023-2024 Center Season. COMMUNION is made possible with principle support from Creative Capital Wild Futures Art, Culture, Impact Award, Gibney, Gibney\u2019s Dance in Process Residency, Danse Mirage Foundation, Tisch Summer Dance Festival Residency (NYU), Dance\/NYC Dance Advancement Fund, ArtsWestchester, and Foundation for Contemporary Arts Emergency Grant.<\/p>\n
