Kizuna Dance presents Father Absence | Mother Ma

Kizuna Dance’s residency and performance at the Gerald W. Lynch Theater at John Jay College are supported by CUNY Dance Initiative.

For the company’s 10-year anniversary in 2024, Kizuna Dance premieres a deeply personal work by Artistic Director Cameron McKinney. A way of processing his father’s death in 2022 – a man Cameron never met — FATHER ABSENCE | MOTHER MA brings a hyperphysical focus to the Japanese concept of “ma,” or possibilities inherent in the empty spaces between objects and bodies. Through a movement language that blends street dance styles, capoeira, and contemporary floorwork, the work will explore the multiversity of loss and feelings of being left behind.
