Robert Moses' Kin presents The Exceptionally Elderly Overweight Black Man Phoenix

June 14 and June 15 at 8 pm; June 16 at 2 pm Multiple award-winning ROBERT MOSES' KIN RETURNS TO THE YERBA BUENA CENTER FOR THE ARTS FORUM WITH THE WORLD PREMIERE OF "The EXCEPTIONALLY ELDERLY OVERWEIGHT BLACK MAN PHOENIX," June 14-16. Choreographer ROBERT MOSES' WORK HAS BEEN RENDERED BY THE FIERCE AND UNIQUE DANCERS THAT HAVE DEFINED ROBERT MOSES' KIN FOR NEARLY 25 YEARS. With this new work MOSES REFLECTS ON WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THE VIEWPOINTS OF AN "EXCEPTIONALLY ELDERLY OVERWEIGHT BLACK MAN" are re-created by a multicultural company of young, athletic dance artists. The evening is a telling and retelling of one artist's life-time of perspectives through the dancing of his company. MOSES, explains: "I am reflecting on how I've made work here in SAN FRANCISCO and how I've had to make work on different bodies. The title of the piece wholly has to do with the changes that someone goes through in their life and their reinvention at every odd moment. My work comes from my life as a BLACK MAN AND IS BEING TOLD THROUGH BODIES THAT AREN'T MINE, so I have to clarify where these things are coming from. It's about different stages of a life and the perspectives a person has as a result those life stages and changes." In addition to the choreography, MOSES HAS COMPOSED THE ENTIRE SOUND SCORE AND ALL OF THE TEXT FOR "The EXCEPTIONALLY ELDERLY OVERWEIGHT BLACK MAN PHOENIX." Sectional seating provides the audiences with unique viewing experiences, creating multiple ways of seeing and experiencing the performance. MOSES ADDS, "It's both simpler and probably the most complex thing I've ever done." The ROBERT MOSES' KIN COMPANY DANCERS ARE VINCENT CHAVEZ, Khala Brannigan, Cora Cliburn, ArVejon Jones, Emily Hansel, Elena Martin, Alivia "Liv" Schaffer and Victor Talledos, with guest performer Amy Foley.
