#armoryflexn

Red alert! The remaining 3 performances of FLEXN are starting to sell-out! If you haven’t secured your tickets to see Reggie (Regg Roc) Gray and 21 incredible flex dancers bone-break, get-low, and glide across the 160-foot long runway stage, now is the time! Created in the era of unrest following rulings on Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, and Eric Garner in New York City, FLEXN is a powerful new work staged by visionary director Peter Sellars and flex pioneer Reggie (Regg Roc) Gray in collaboration with a crew of flex dancers from the very neighborhoods in Brooklyn where the movement first took shape. Performing both as individuals and in groups to choreography created by the ensemble itself, the dancers tell deeply human and sometimes heart-wrenching stories that address troubling issues of our time. FLEXN runs through this Saturday, April 4! Photos: Stephanie Berger

"FLEXN's unofficial script could be the lyrics, often mimed or mouthed, to the blasting reggae, pop and hip-hop soundtrack, supplied by Epic B: “I hate that I’m so underrated”; “It was hard times, now it’s our time." - The New York Times We've had numerous requests for the music that Epic B. selected for FLEXN and thus we give you our #ArmoryFLEXN playlist! DJ Epic B has come up with 30 tracks spanning reggae, hip-hop, rock, rap, and electronic music that speak volumes. See the music transformed with 21 flex dancers moving in rhythm, FLEXN runs through 4/4!

The lighting design from the background to the overhead stage lights was amazing at the @ParkAveArmory #FLEXn #armoryflexn event! Check out this #pattern! #dspattern

"This is not your regular ballet. This is not contemporary, modern dance. This is street dance." Listen to FLEXN‬ co-director and flex pioneer Reggie (Regg Roc) Gray give the flex foundation and advice to audiences on what to expect. FLEXN opens tonight and runs through April 4!

Testing, testing. The FLEXN‬ set is flickering into focus! Our crew finished rigging Ben Zamora's 160-foot long, 255 LED tube light wall and have begun to program and test it. Only 11 more days until Peter Sellars, Reggie (Regg Roc) Gray, & 21 flex dancers take over the Drill Hall, March 25 - April 4.

Bones the Machine and DJ Aaron give NYC commuters something to stare at in this great video shot by YAK films at the Lorimer and 6th Avenue stops on the L train. 21 flex dancers take over the Armory, March 25 - April 4 in Peter Sellars & Reggie (Regg Roc) Gray's FLEXN.
