“Leslie Cuyjet is a master of layers.”
– Dance Enthusiast
For All Your Life is an ongoing performance project that examines the value of black life and black death, through the mechanism of life insurance. In the presentation, Brooklyn-based choreographer Leslie Cuyjet delivers a seminar that teaches us about the insurance industry and its direct connection to the transatlantic slave trade, highlights the way we respond to death, and provokes a reflection on how we regard life.
For All Your Life was originally commissioned by and performed at The Chocolate Factory Theater in New York and developed with residency support from the Brooklyn Academy of Music (BAM).
Funded in part by the New England States Touring program of the New England Foundation for the Arts, made possible with funding from the National Endowment for the Arts and the six New England state arts agencies.
