DTSBDC Celebrates George Rickey at The Kreeger Museum

Dana Tai Soon Burgess Dance Company continues its residency at The Kreeger Museum with a performance in celebration of George Rickey’s Two Lines Oblique Down III. Set within the Great Hall of The Kreeger Museum, this dance transforms the experience of viewing George Rickey’s kinetic sculpture into a living dialogue between steel, wind, architecture, and the human body. Rickey’s precisely balanced forms—activated by the slightest breeze—become both inspiration and point of departure, their quiet rotations echoed in the dancers’ fluid spirals, suspended balances, and sweeping pathways. Celebrated for their graceful, wind-driven motion, Rickey’s sculptures blur the line between engineering and choreography.

About the Residency

The Kreeger Museum and Dana Tai Soon Burgess Dance Company are thrilled to announce a two-year residency for the Company at The Kreeger Museum. This collaboration grows out of an ongoing relationship between Burgess and The Kreeger Museum. Between 2015 and 2025, Burgess choreographed three new pieces inspired by the works of Pablo Picasso, Joan Miró, and Helen Frankenthaler, artists represented in the Museum’s permanent collection.
