Performing the Boston premieres of Killa and The Whiz Friday, January 14, 7:30pm Saturday, January 15, 8pm Sunday, January 16, 3pm $40 Reserved seating The Institute of Contemporary Art/Boston 100 Northern Ave., Boston "A nonstop binge of attitude, high-energy stepping, and freewheeling virtuosity."—The Village Voice The New Yorker says "'Killa' is an apt title for Leichter's new dance. Killing it, working it, bringing attitude and invention to bear on every beat . . . African movements, samba hips, the stylings of various Jacksons, and the funky chicken all find a place." The virtuosic company will also perform excerpts from the company's new work The Whiz: Obamaland, an outlandish take on The Wizard of Oz. "The performers in this vivid, hyperactive review, adrift in funk and jazz and club dancing, are wonderful."—The Village Voice. Funded in part by the National Dance Project of the New England Foundation for the Arts, with lead funding from the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation and additional funding from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, the Ford Foundation, and the Community Connections Fund of the MetLife Foundation.
