Culture and movement merge with IMGE, the sensational American dance company blending Indian classical, hip hop, and contemporary styles! Founded by the visionary Ishita Mili, IMGE brings a fresh perspective to storytelling, tackling social, cultural, and environmental themes through a global movement vocabulary. Having graced prestigious venues like New Victory Theater and Lincoln Center, and captivating audiences with their sold-out show “(no)man,” IMGE is a force to be reckoned with in the dance world. Featured in Vogue, Vanity Fair, and L’Officiel, their innovative performances have garnered millions of views on social media.
(no)man is a dance oratory traveling through ideas of home and identity while juxtaposing cross-cultural movement as a reflection of power & privilege. Weaving together their signature hybridized movement, power-packed body language, and a genre-blurring soundscape, IMGE questions who is included and excluded in this borrowed space and time. The show comprises 10 Chapters, each pinpointing a power dynamic between [winning-losing] and [birth-death]. The rich multicultural tapestry weaving through the chapters of (no)man reveals repeating cycles between the past, present, and future to imagine where society has gone and could go in the collective future.
The IMGE Dance residency at BMCC Tribeca Performing Arts Center is part of the CUNY Dance Initiative (CDI), which receives major support from The Mertz Gilmore Foundation and Howard Gilman Foundation. Additional support is provided by the SHS Foundation, Rockefeller Brothers Fund’s Charles E. Culpeper Arts & Culture program, and the Harkness Foundation for Dance. CDI is spearheaded by The Kupferberg Center for the Arts at Queens College. www.cuny.edu/
