Honored to have built the music for Leslie Freeman Taub’s solo work: David’s Lotus Sutra for “And yet”- a festival curated by choreographer Heidi Latsky. This beautiful and thought-provoking celebration of disability and dance features three disabled choreographers-Mark Travis Rivera, Nicole Marquez, and Leslie Taub. Each with distinctive voices that bring a raw vulnerability and fierceness to the stage.

ARTISTS STUDIO: GEORGE LEWIS / AMINA CLAUDINE MYERS
Park Avenue Armory 643 Park Avenue, NYC
On the first half of the program, the International Contemporary Ensemble will present the US premiere of George Lewis’s Blombos Workshop (2020) for piano, which engages an overarching concern of Jamaican critical theorist Sylvia Wynter—the promise and potential of the human. This is followed by his Assemblage (2013) for nonet, which presents the sounds of contingency, heterogeneity, nonlinearity, emergence, and bricolage.
