SYNOPSIS
A work for five dancers, Kollide blends elements of ballet and hip hop in a fluid, sensual style that is uniquely Abraham’s. Rebecca Bengal of Vogue defines that style as one marked by “an original and politically minded downtown sensibility that doesn’t distinguish between genres but freely draws on a vocabulary that is as much Merce and Martha as it is Eadweard Muybridge and Michael Jackson.”
