April in Motion

Choreographer Reggie Wilson is conspicuously reclaiming foundational ideas from his early gestural and “duet-ed” works and landing on provocative questions and surprises fitting to the times we are now experiencing. Wilson’s meticulous and rigorous kinesthetic reclamation process is asking, if not begging us What do you have? What do you keep? How do you make what’s ever left meaningful…ultimately, Is the reclamation of self, necessary to build resilience?

Seán Curran Company makes its NYU Skirball debut with two works: the world premiere of PATH, reflecting on the phenomenon of the Camino de Santiago — the ancient Catholic pilgrimage route across northern Spain to the cathedral of Santiago de Compostela in Galicia – and Curran’s own spiritual wayfaring; and Everywhere All the Time (2018), which explores the relationship of humans with the natural environment.

The story of The Employees unfolds in an undetermined near future, on a spaceship carrying people and humanoid robots, with Earth having been annihilated. The crew of the spaceship 6000, overseen by a mysterious organization, is on a mission to explore a distant planet called the New Discovered. Directed by Łukasz Twarkowski, this visually striking adaptation of Olga Ravn‘s acclaimed novel offers a mix of theater, film, and installation in an exploration of what it means to be human.
