Founded in 2014, Kyle Marshall Choreography makes its Joyce debut with three New York premieres. Ruin investigates humans’ physical relationship to sound and uses dynamic listening devices designed and monitored live by sound collaborator Cal Fish. Alice is a solo work about the spiritual journey to self-acceptance, dedicated to those on the verge of transformation, and guided by the music of Alice Coltrane and inspired by KMC's Visual Director, Edo Tastic. Onyx commemorates the Black and Brown artists who spearheaded the revolutionary genre of Rock and Roll, featuring a soundscape collage by Kwami Winfield, with samples from groundbreaking artists.
