Presenter
November 7-9 | The Whitney Museum of American Art, NYC
Presented as part of Edges of Ailey, Yusha-Marie Sorzano presents dynamic and awe-inspiring dances exploring cycles, ritual, heritage, and lore. Shaped by the compositions of Chinese American composer Tan Dun and American multi-instrumentalist composer Chief Xian aTunde Adjuah, these performances express the building of two separate worlds at their beginning, middle, and end. Through chaos and rapture, rebirth and futurism, Sorzano’s choreography touches the fantastical and draws matrilineal lines to honor the Black feminine.
RDT will perform Solfege, choreographed by Yusha-Marie Sorzano as a commission for RDT in the spring of 2024.
