MAHWAH, N.J. — On Thursday, April 29 at 8 p.m., the Berrie Center for the Performing & Visual Arts at Ramapo College will broadcast the next Made in Jersey event featuring choreographer and dancer Kyle Marshall’s work-in-progress, “I & I.” Following the broadcast, Berrie Center director Lisa Campbell will lead a live Q&A session where audience members can ask Marshall about his work. The broadcast is free and available through YouTube.  To view this unique in process work, patrons should go to the Berrie Center website at https://www.ramapo.edu/berriecenter/performance-schedule/

Kyle Marshall’s new solo work-in-progress gives viewers a behind the scenes look at the process of creating dance.  In discussing “I & I”, Marshall states, “as a member of the diaspora, I have often felt distant from my maternal homeland, Jamaica. “I & I” is an exploration of my Jamaican body. This process has directed me towards my family’s migration story, Caribbean dance, and historical research, and uncovering the global cultural impact of this mighty Caribbean island.”

Kyle Marshall is a choreographer, performer, and teaching artist. In 2020, he received the Dance Magazine Harkness Promise Award and a N.Y. “Bessie” Award nomination for the production “Colored.” His dance company, Kyle Marshall Choreography (KMC) sees the dancing body as a container of history, an igniter of social reform and a site of celebration. Since inception in 2014, KMC has performed in many venues throughout New York City.
