About BARKIN/SELISSEN PROJECT

BARKIN/SELISSEN PROJECT, a New York City based contemporary dance company founded in 2009, presents the choreography of Artistic Directors Kyla Barkin and Aaron Selissen through live performance and workshops. Using a unique collaborative method, B/S P creates works inspired by subject matters from mathematics to the nature of human experience. The company strives to remove barriers and create a shared experience between the creative team and audience members allowing for a more inclusive and memorable event.The movement, thoughtfully crafted, utilizes subtle nuanced qualities contrasted with explosive athletic extremes. With a similar approach to teaching and training, the company promotes the coupling of techniques and modalities to prepare artists' bodies for the challenges of the work.
