Call & Response artist and choreographer Reggie Wilson reimagines The Reclamation, his latest work, for Lynden’s specific performance conditions. Working from a model we first developed in 2015, Wilson integrates Lynden’s landscape, its sculpture collection, and a large intergenerational cast of local dancers and community members, aged 7-80+, into this outdoor production featuring his New York-based dance company, Fist & Heel Performance Group.
In The Reclamation, which premiered at NYU Skirball in New York City in April 2025, Wilson reclaims foundational ideas from his early gestural and “duet-ed” works and lands on provocative questions and surprises that respond to our current times. Wilson’s meticulous kinesthetic reclamation process asks, What do you have? What do you keep? How do you make whatever’s left meaningful? And, ultimately, is reclamation necessary to build resilience?
