This twenty-minute extended improvisation was a key movement threshold for establishing the modality of Low.

The world premiere of Low marks an unfolding of twenty years of collaboration between Ralph Lemon and dancer Darrell Jones. The duet embodies a physical exploration of the energy that comes after exertion, in the wake of performance—the transition from fury and exhaustion to something beyond.

The Ceremonies Out of the Air performance program includes several New York City and world premieres of Lemon’s newest works, which anchor the exhibition’s explorations of generosity, mortality, devotion, Blackness, and joy. All performances are free with RSVP. Tickets for Low will be released in early February. Sign up for our newsletter to be notified.

The performance runs approximately 30 minutes without intermission.
