What We Ask of Flesh with Christal Brown/INSPIRIT

On August 3, choreographer Christal Brown presented segments of her in-progress work What We Ask of Flesh, co-presented by the Flynn and the New England Foundation for the Arts, and presented as part of the Kennedy Center’s Arts Across America series.

This epic work is a physical examination of the capacity of human life, exploring the distance between our aspirations and reality, and has seen many variations over the years.

For the Arts Across America performance, Brown and her company performed excerpts from the work, including a solo by Brown. She and Flynn Artistic Director Steve MacQueen also discussed the piece and offered context throughout the hour.
