In the Company of Men (ICOM)

In the Company of Men (ICOM) was launched in 1994, in part, as a re­sponse to the decimation of the dance community by HIV/AIDS, Today, ICOM continues to be "a celebration of the dynamic of men dancing together, in both joyous and virtuosic terms" (The New York Times). DNA’s longest stand­ing performance series, ICOM is a venerated showcase celebrating the male presence on stage from two perspectives: the exploration of male physical­ity, and investigation of the socially constructed male. With performances created and executed by men, ICOM represents the full range of male choreo­graphic voices and styles present in the field of contemporary dance today.
