“A major talent in contemporary dance”

- Gia Kourlas (The New York Times)
on Benjamin Akio Kimitch

Tomorrow! Benjamin Akio Kimitch’s highly anticipated world premiere of “Allegra” takes the stage. We can’t wait to see this epic new work come to life ✨

Kimitch’s projects begin slowly, rooted in personal relationships with traditional dance forms and many years of research. The resulting work unfolds with thoughtful intention and a distinctive aesthetic, often holding tension between preservation and transformation.
