New performance work by artist Derek Fordjour and choreographer Sidra Bell

Petzel Gallery, New York City

In SCORE, Fordjour debuts his latest collaboration, Arena, an original ensemble movement piece, jointly composed with renowned choreographer Sidra Bell, founder of Sidra Bell Dance New York. Arena will be performed twice daily in the West Gallery. With live musical accompaniment from Hannah Mayree of The Black Banjo Reclamation Project, five dancers will animate the space, performing the original choreographic score atop a packed dirt floor, within a built environment, which includes a sculptural seating structure and custom tent. Informed directly from the artist’s paintings, original costume and lighting design infuse theatricality into the artist’s oeuvre. Arena grapples with notions of performance and abstraction through live action in a kaleidoscopic exploration of labor, history, power and race.

Metropolitan Museum of Art

Performance Pyramid part of the Flight into Egypt Exhibit: Black Artist and Ancient Egypt, 1876-Now

For the first time in Met history, live performance is an integral part of a major exhibition. Join us each week in the Performance Pyramid— embedded within the exhibition Flight into Egypt: Black Artists and Ancient Egypt 1876–Now—to experience music, dance, and performance art that draw on ancient Egyptian themes.

In her new work entitled G R A P H, choreographer and dancer Sidra Bell studies the relationship between existentialism and Black liberation, using the artwork presented in Flight into Egypt as a departure point for a dance that transmits ascendency, power and spirituality.
