The March installment of the Martha Graham Dance Company’s popular Studio Series features a conversation with the dynamic choreographic team Baye & Asa as they complete a new work for the Company just a few weeks before its premiere. A rehearsal showing of the work-in-progress will be part of the evening. 

Drawing inspiration from Martha Graham's Cortege of Eagles, Baya & Asa’s work focuses on Charon, the ferryman who shepherds souls to the underworld. In Graham’s work, Charon is a harbinger of Troy’s inevitable fall. In their creation, Baya & Asa ask: Who is the ferryman for the fall of the American Empire? Created with Baye & Asa's propulsive and rhythmically dynamic movement language, this new work will have its world premiere at The Joyce Theater in April 2023.
