Angie Pittman

Black Life Chord Changes

Angie Pittman’s reprised evening length solo performance (broken into scores for “day” and “night”) uses dance improvisation - skillfully pulling from, and synthesizing, folk traditions of liturgical dancing, Soul line dancing, Umfundalai, and post-modern improvisation - with layers of sung and spoken text, patient listening, and recorded sound, to open an experimental improvised movement portal. Blackly so. Through these visceral Black womanist traditions, Black Life Chord Changes slips in and out of deep listening, seeing, improvisation, and truth telling.

Choreographer/Performer: Angie Pittman

Kyle Marshall Choreography

Joan (NYC Premiere)

Joan is a revival of a 2021 quartet set to Eastman’s bold score for ten cellos, “The Holy Presence of Joan d’Arc”. The dance celebrates power over tyranny reinterpreting the story of Joan d’Arc, a female warrior who is called by God to lead her army to victory against an occupying oppressor, to remember the history of the Maroons, Seminoles and other communities of revolutionary people who fought for their freedom against slavery and colonial rule in the Americas. Flanking Joan are three soldiers who symbolize the spirits of her ancestors who guide and fight by her side. Originally choreographed as a duet for Oluwadamilare Ayorinde and Bria Bacon, Joan premiered and was commissioned by the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum and was performed with live music by BIPOC ensemble Castle of Our Skins in Boston, MA in October 2019. The work was then recommissioned and expanded into the current quartet for the New World Symphony in Miami in October 2021.

Music: Julius Eastman, “The Holy Presence of Joan d’Arc”
