Bell is the inaugural artist in residence at Gibney and the work was supported by expanded residency time at the center. The result is a pure dance display of the joy and ecstatic spontaneity created through improvisational modalities that Wilkins’ contemplative and rich composition evokes. This elegiac experience is a series of impressions, human huddles, and hybrid forms of movement set against a wild mixture of textures, design, and sound. The work features lighting by resident designer Amith Chandrashaker, set design by architect Cass Calder Smith, costumes by Caitlin Taylor, and sound design by Michael Roche. Sidra Bell Dance New York’s eight-member company performs with live music by Immanuel Wilkins Quartet.</p>

<p><em>COMMUNION is made possible with principal support from Creative Capital Wild Futures Art, Culture, Impact Award, Gibney, Gibney’s Dance in Process Residency, Danse Mirage Foundation, Tisch Summer Dance Festival Residency (NYU), Dance/NYC Dance Advancement Fund, ArtsWestchester, and Foundation for Contemporary Arts Emergency Grant.</em></p>
