Abrons Arts Center presents the world premieres of Kimberly Bartosik’s Ecsteriority4 (Part 2) and Dylan Crossman’s BOUND on a shared program as part of its new dance series, Travelogues, curated by Laurie Uprichard.

Ecsteriority4 (Part 2) is a project within Kimberly Bartosik’s Ecsteriority series, which she began in 2008. A trio for Dylan Crossman, Marc Mann, and Melissa Toogood, the work takes place within a landscape of power and desire, where extreme impulses create a feeling of urgency, the inevitability of violation, and a palpable sense of vulnerability. The sole scenic element is a wall that becomes both an embodied character as well as a physical and psychic boundary.

Dylan Crossman's latest solo, BOUND, questions emotional (in)dependence — how real freedom may lie in recognizing what binds us, what we have already freed ourselves from, and what ties will always be with us. The movement is a blend of gestural and highly physical material that follows a precise choreographic score. Through a straightforward delivery, raw and honest movement emerges, retreats, and surprises.

Carrie Wood’s lighting and the score created by Crossman and collaborator Hubert Lafore subtly dress the space.
