Past Event
  • Pioneer of hip-hop dance and theater brings his unique vision to life through choreography and photography in an unexpected and moving stage show

    Find Your Eyes explores the striking relationship between photographer and subject, creating images in real time on stage with dance. Drawing from the well of his life experiences, dancer and award-winning photographer Benji Reid mixes Afro-futurist imagery with hard-hitting tales from his life and adventures and considers the way we make sense of the world through our stories and our art.

    In Find Your Eyes, Benji examines vulnerability, tragedy, and triumph through the photographers’ lens. He takes you behind the scenes on an emotional rollercoaster where conflict meets beauty and the stage becomes his studio. Watch as Benji opens up on some of the most moving episodes of his life, brought on stage to inspire his art.

    “Reid has taken his vulnerabilities and transmuted them into art. The metamorphosis is overwhelmingly moving.
