If there was an award for the most likely New York dance troupe to be compared to a sportscar, I'd give it to Abraham.In.Motion. The choreography is, like the best supercars, all torque and velocity...
Without a doubt, the most eccentric piece on the program is Gabrielle Lamb’s I Am a Woman: Moult, originally commissioned as part of an evening of works by women choreographers. (A noble cause.) ...
