Pittsburgh Post-Gazette: Kyle Abraham just may be the defining choreographic voice of a new generation. He makes dance that has swagger, something that can escalate into anger and violence. It depicts a generation that is alienated not only by social pressures, but by virtue of technology. But this is also a generation that still needs to touch, to caress, to connect.
It also happens that Mr. Abraham is black and the Pittsburgh Dance Council program, titled "Pavement," went back to the Lincoln-Larimer native's local roots, inspired by gangs in Homewood and the Hill District.
