As part of Lincoln Center Presents kids and family programming, the disability arts ensemble Kinetic Light brings one of their signature works to the stage in the company's Lincoln Center debut. Kinetic Light artists Alice Sheppard and Laurel Lawson showcase a suite of dance solos and duets exploring momentum, speed, balance, and the pull of gravity—all performed on a series of curvaceous wedged ramps. As other Kinetic Light productions, this presentation intentionally and joyously reveals disability as a creative force; dance lovers of all ages are welcome to attend.

Masks and proof of vaccination are required for this performance.
