Six dancers are performing on stage under red lighting, each striking a pose with one arm raised and the other hand on their chest. They are dressed in minimal, skin-toned costumes, and the background is a solid red.

Choreographer and Ailey School alumnus Jean Emile’s In & Out is a poignant work for eight dancers that gives an unflinchingly honest view of the ups and downs of contemporary life. Drawing on a mix of dance techniques, Emile brings a fresh approach, which is amplified by a varied score that includes music by Alva Noto, Alberto Iglesias, and Jun Miyake.
