See our plansRaquel Heredia “La Repompa”
This work invites us into the artistic universe of Raquel Heredia “La Repompa,” a dancer who carries the legacy of one of flamenco’s great dynasties. Raquel leads a journey through emotion and memory — a space where rhythm and silence, power and vulnerability, tradition and instinct coexist.
Nacera Belaza: La Nuée
In La Nuée, performers experience what it is like to combine centrifugal momentum and pulsation inside their bodies. Accompanied by rustling noises, cries and songs, their silhouettes are inhabited by an image that their dance transmits. Confronted with this circle or round object, the audience is invited to not refuse the impossible, namely that of perceiving clarity in the darkness, and silence in the din.
Jasmine Hearn: Memory Fleet: Time & Trinity
Memory Fleet is a continually expanding, episodic, migrating performance and archive project that builds an alternative archive for the preservation of shared memories and stories that center the work/rest & past/future of the Black people who mother and mentor.
Platform 2026: Secret Gardens
Platform 2026: Secret Gardens, co-curated by Judy Hussie-Taylor and Seta Morton, tends to the relationships between plants and dance; strategic seedings, subterranean root systems, medicinal blossoms, rituals and rabbit holes.
Rosario La Tremendita: Tránsito (Fleeing the Noise)
With Tránsito (Fleeing the Noise), groundbreaking singer Rosario La Tremendita strips flamenco to its core in a powerful collaboration with master guitarist Dani de Morón. This intimate work is a journey back to the traditional songs that form the soul of flamenco, reimagined with fearless artistry and emotional depth. With her unmistakable voice - raw, nuanced, and deeply human - and the guitar’s enveloping resonance, La Tremendita creates a space where memory and innovation meet.
Soa Ratsifandrihana: g r oo v e
g r oo v e is a solo performance by Soa Ratsifandrihana that draws on a wide range of dance styles, from baroque-influenced forms to the Afindrafindrao of her native Madagascar. She revisits the Madison, her first learned choreography, popularized in the 1960s by African American singer Al Brown, and references Ghost in the Shell, an anime she loved as a teenager.
Los Ricos - Sonia & Ismael: Vínculo
Vínculo (meaning “Bond”) is a flamenco show that captures the vibration of an encounter. A space where emotion, art, and memory intertwine to shape a world of their own. It is an open dialogue in which every moment, sound, and pause builds a connection, allowing flamenco’s tradition to meet the personal vision of its creators.
Robyn Orlin: We wear our wheels with pride
Robyn Orlin’s We wear our wheels with pride is a vibrant tribute to the rickshaw drivers of South Africa’s past, celebrating their resilience, artistry, and strength. Inspired by Orlin’s childhood memories of Zulu men pulling elaborately decorated rickshaws under apartheid, the piece transforms their movements into a dynamic fusion of dance, song, and theatrical spectacle.
Movement Research at the Judson Church
A free, high visibility low-tech forum for experimentation, emerging ideas, and works-in-progress held in the Fall and Spring seasons. Artists are selected by a rotating committee of peer artists, and join Movement Research Artists-In-Residence and international guests each season in performing at the historic Judson Church.
Jane Comfort and Company
A new dance work featuring music by MacArthur award winning composer Heather Christian that explores America’s current immigration landscape through intricate vocal polyrhythms and vivid community-inspired movement. The program also includes Comfort’s 1983 Afro-Brazilian infused Artificial Horizon with live drumming, and her 1996 work Bites, a musical chairs-driven examination of scarcity set to Klimchak’s percussive score and a voice-over of Newt Gingrich’s Contract With America.
Emma Judkins: At Matins or Evensong
At Matins or Evensong is an evening-length dance rooted in time, reverence, darkness, and beauty. It stems from an obsession with the late summer ubiquitousness of the goldenrod plant in my childhood home state of Maine and surrounding Northeast.
Joan Jonas: The Juniper Tree
In collaboration with Danspace on three evenings in March 2026, world-renowned artist Joan Jonas will present a new iteration of The Juniper Tree, her 1976 performance inspired by a folktale of the same name. The Juniper Tree has a centuries-long history of being told and retold. Jonas turns to this story as a performance vehicle to explore the various roles women play and how they are represented.
Milo Rau & Édouard Louis: The Interrogation
The Interrogation is a raw, intimate collaboration between director Milo Rau and writer Édouard Louis, blending personal testimony with urgent political critique. The work unfolds as a stark monologue that revisits moments of violence, class shame, and queer identity in contemporary France. Rau’s minimalist staging amplifies Louis’ searing honesty, creating a space where personal memory becomes collective reckoning.

Milo Rau & Servane Dècle: The Pelicot Trial
“Shame must change sides.” With these words, and her courageous decision to make her trial public, Gisèle Pelicot ignited an international reckoning in the fight to end violence against women. What began as the Mazan rape case, in a small town in southern France, revealed how ordinary men across ages and social backgrounds could commit an unthinkable crime, the repeated assault of an unconscious woman. This urgent evening of readings revisits examinations, pleas, and commentaries from the trial.
Ivy Baldwin Dance + Jeanine Durning
NYU Skirball unveils a world premiere double bill featuring bold new works from two of contemporary dance’s most fearless voices: Ivy Baldwin and Jeanine Durning. Each choreographer takes the stage with a distinct vision, Baldwin with her rigorously inventive physical landscapes, and Durning with her radical experiments in movement and language, together offering a night of unforgettable contrasts and cutting-edge performance.
A.I.M by Kyle Abraham: Cassette Vol. 1
Nostalgia isn’t just a feeling, it’s a rhythm, a groove, a dance that lives in the body. Weaving together the pop, R&B, and New Wave sounds of his youth, Kyle Abraham crafts a work that moves between camp and critique, honoring the influences that shaped him, from M/A/R/R/S to Prince, from Trisha Brown to Bill T. Jones.
Tapestries
Tapestries is an evening-length dance theatre piece told through the curious narrative of the Unicorn Tapestries (1495 - 1505) and a queer reimagining of Ukrainian folklore. It consists of eight vignettes, each representing a different tapestry and folklore, threaded together to tell the tale of the Magical Unicorn.
Symara Sarai: Angelic Architectures
Angelic Architectures is a powerful dance play, developed by Symara Sarai during their Abrons Performance AIRspace residency, that showcases the inner anarchy of Black queer femininity. Featuring three dancers and a musician, the show blends movement, sound, and improvisational scores to explore desire, autonomy, and one’s full range of emotion
