Leslie Cuyjet: For All Your Life

Leslie Cuyjet is a choreographer, dancer, and writer whose performances explore Black embodiment through text, video, and movement. Her solo work has been shown at EMPAC, The Kitchen, The Chocolate Factory, and The Shed. A 2025 Guggenheim Fellow, she has also received two Bessie Awards, a Princeton Hodder Fellowship, and support from the Foundation for Contemporary Arts. Based in Brooklyn, Cuyjet continues to create layered, research-driven work that bridges personal history and postmodern dance.

Come and see Angie Pittman's Black Life Chord Changes at 9pm after this performance! There are additional bundled ticket options to view Cuyjet at 7pm, and Pittman at 9pm.
