    About This Event

    At BAM, adaku, part 2 presents a staged work that favors structure and repetition, treating movement as a way to build meaning over time and using choreography as both record and argument. Sharing the bill is It!, a New York rock/pop performer who has worked Union Hall and in small‑room settings; the set favors direct hooks and a clear vocal presence, and the artist recently appeared on Pizzazz with Gary Gulman.

    About adaku, part 2

    At BAM (Brooklyn Academy of Music), *adaku, part 2* arrives as a dance work framed by the stakes of live performance in New York. The piece centers on adaku’s movement language, where rhythm and pause are treated as structure rather than decoration. While details of its NYC premiere history are not widely documented, its presence at BAM places it in a local lineage of contemporary dance presented as serious cultural record. One clear impression is its restraint, which asks the audience to do some of the interpretive work.
