A groundbreaking force in the contemporary dance world since bursting on the scene in 2012, Malpaso Dance Company has already become one of the most sought after Cuban dance companies, with a growing international profile. Emphasizing a collaborative creative process, Malpaso is committed to working with top international choreographers while also nurturing new voices in Cuban choreography. Now an Associate Company of New York’s famed Joyce Theater, Malpaso — led by Artistic Director Osnel Delgado — has commissioned original works from a number of prominent North American choreographers.
The dynamic program at OZ Arts will feature four works that exemplify Malpaso’s remarkable repertory: Lullaby for Insomnia, a new solo dance by Malpaso Co-Artistic Director and Co-Founder Daileidys Carrazana; woman with water, an expressionistic duet by renowned Swedish choreographer Mats Ek; Elemental by Robyn Mineko Williams, a 26-minute kaleidoscopic dance for the full company; and Canadian choreographer Aszure Barton’s Stillness in Bloom, a captivating exploration of isolation and longed-for reunions.
