2x4

2x4

Centered around a charged experimental classical score by composer Shelley Washington for two baritone saxophone musicians, Kyle Abraham creates an energized new quartet entitled 2x4. At its core, 2x4 is a new dance work that uses geometrical playfulness to explore conversation, confrontation, stillness, and bustling movement phrasing.

Its choreographic score echoes and harmonizes with Washington’s dynamic composition through several fast-paced curvilinear weaving patterns and various contrasting angular shape-based sequences, further articulating the interplay between opposing vocabularies.
