The Hyde: George Rickey Across Time

ESDC has a long-standing relationship with museums, including The Hyde, where they previously performed during the 2022 exhibition Transformations: The Art of John Van Alstine.

This year, ESDC returns to The Hyde with a brand-new performance inspired by the exhibition George Rickey Across Time. George Rickey (1907–2002) was a trailblazer in kinetic sculpture, crafting stainless steel works that gracefully respond to the air around them. His captivating pieces—ranging from elegant tabletop sculptures to larger wall, floor, and ceiling-mounted works—will be on display from June 7 – September 28 throughout the galleries, with three large-scale outdoor sculptures on view through spring 2026.

The dancers will interpret Rickey’s dynamic forms through movement, creating a poetic dialogue between dance and sculpture. This site-specific performance is designed for audiences of all ages, offering a unique opportunity to experience the intersection of visual and performing arts in an engaging and memorable way.
