FROM SKY TO EARTH (Brooklyn)
About this Event
Acclaimed composer, saxophonist, and 2026 Guggenheim Fellow James Brandon Lewis joins French vertical dance pioneer Antoine Le Menestrel, Artistic Director of Cie Lézards Bleus, for the world premiere of From Sky to Earth.
From Sky to Earth reimagines New York City’s built environment as a site of performance, transforming building façades into a dynamic stage where Le Menestrel’s vertical dance meets Lewis’s live, improvised score. Blurring the boundaries between architecture, performance, and live music, the work invites audiences to experience the city from an entirely new perspective.
From Sky to Earth was commissioned by Citizen Arts International and is co-produced by Citizen Arts International and Citizen Arts and Education Inc.
This project is supported by FUSED, a program of Villa Albertine and Albertine Foundation. Additional support is provided by the Zankel Music Fund.
