The Only Moving Thing, eighth blackbird's kinetic program featuring al newly commissioned works, crackles with vivid theatricality as the ensemble dives full-tilt into the agile and muscular world of five of today’s most prominent names in music and dance. Double Sextet, a new Steve Reich work for eighth blackbird, represents a return to the rhythmic intensity and drive that is synonymous with the composer's most venerable works such as Drumming and Music for 18 Musicians. Pulsing with energy and life, the work will feature eighth blackbird performing simultaneously live and pre-recorded. Inspired by eighth blackbird's distinctive predilection for memorization and the embodiment of their music through movement, singing in the dead of night is a continuous weave of music and motion; an intrepid collaboration between maverick composers David Lang, Michael Gordon and Julia Wolfe and seminal New York choreographer Susan Marshall.
