Kyle Abraham (born 1977) is an American choreographer. He began dancing under the tutelage of the Civic Light Opera Academy and he studied at the Pittsburgh Creative and Performing Arts School in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. He went on to study dance at SUNY Purchase and received an MFA from the NYU Tisch School of the Arts. Abraham has performed with a variety of modern dance companies prior to starting his own, Abraham.In.Motion. He joined David Dorfman Dance in 2007, prior to working with the likes of Bill T. Jones/Arnie Zane Dance Company, The Kevin Wynn Collective, Nathan Trice/Rituals, Dance Alloy, and Attack Theatre.〔 ==Critical acclaim== In 2009 Abraham was listed in ''Dance Magazine''′s "25 to Watch" where he was described as, “equal parts power and grace.” In 2008 he was awarded a Jerome Foundation Travel and Study Grant. In 2010, he was awarded a Bessie Award and a Princess Grace Award for his piece ''The Radio Show''. Critics have consistently praised him for his commitment to movement and vivid emotional output. Wendy Perron describes him as "sensual, thoughtful, wild, stuttering", commenting that he was "burning a hole through that tiny space" with regard to his "Heartbreaks and Homies" evening of dance at Joe's Pub. He was also described as the "best and brightest creative talent to emerge in New York City in the age of Obama." Abraham was awarded a MacArthur Fellowship in 2013. Kyle Abraham established his company Abraham.In.Motion in 2006 with its first presentation called ''Fading into Something Tangible'', first seen in Pittsburgh, PA. Abraham creates work for his company that draws from his personal experiences; often exploring themes of adversity, emotion and the relationship between music and dance. In Abraham's ''The Radio Show,'' he "delves into identity and personal history....Creating an abstract narrative around the loss of communication, he investigates the effects of the abrupt discontinuation of a radio station on a community and the lingering effects of Alzheimer’s and aphasia on a family. Abraham mixes recordings of classic soul and hip-hop with contemporary classical compositions to create an eclectic score that evokes fond memories and a passion for what is lost." 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kyle Abraham」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
