“Get a rare look at performance footage from the MCA’s archive in a livestreamed watch party of Relations, an evening of improvised dance by influential choreographers Ishmael Houston-Jones, Ralph Lemon, and Bebe Miller. This landmark performance was organized specifically for the MCA and was one of the highlights of the 2018 season…In Relations, three legendary shapers of experimental dance came together for the first time to perform as a trio. Part family reunion and party first-time encounter, Ishmael Houston-Jones, Ralph Lemon, and Bebe Miller paid homage to their past selves and gestured toward the future of dance in this evening of improvisation. Relive the kinship celebrated in this moment on stage after nearly 40 years of influencing each other from afar throughout their prolific careers. Stan Pressner was the lighting designer for these performances, and project management support was provided by Lila Hurwitz.

This virtual watch party is organized by Tara Aisha Willis, Associate Curator and Laura Paige Kyber, Curatorial Assistant in Performance and Public Practice.”
