A.I.M. High
Dancers bring queer love to the stage RICH LOPEZ | Staff writer rich@dallasvoice.com Alongside its regular season, TITAS/Dance Unbound likes to let loose — or, in their words, get risky — with its other series of shows.
TITAS/UNFILTERED is the company’s series that is dedicated to risk and to recognize that “not all art is for everyone.” The series tagline is, “If you’re easily offended, don’t come.” But in this weekend’s show, maybe love conquers all.
Dancers Jae Neal, 35, and Donovan Reed, 27, of A.I.M by Kyle Abraham both hope so. TITAS/UNFILTERED presents the company for two performances of An Untitled Love, the choreographer’s newest piece that celebrates love through the stories of a gay couple, a lesbian couple and a straight couple to the music of R&B singer D’Angelo.
Performances are Friday and Saturday at the Moody Performance Hall. Based out of New York, A.I.M by Kyle Abraham has a mission to create work “that is galvanized by Black culture and history.” “I would say that Untitled Love is a tender experience of Black love that really zeroes in on the communities of Black people and beyond,” Reed said by phone. “This dance does a beautiful thing through several different lenses.
