<p>On November 21 and November 22, 2025, the Institute of Contemporary Art (ICA) Boston will present For All Your Life, a work by Brooklyn-based performer and choreographer Leslie Cuyjet. A combination of film and performance, this important work explores the value of Black life and death. The engagement includes residency days to help scale the work to larger venues like the ICA&#39;s Barbara Lee Family Foundation Theater. The presentation will be accompanied by a post-performance conversation and engagement with university students and community partners. The ICA&#39;s presentation will be part of a New England tour for the artist, with additional performances and activities at the Bates Dance Festival in Lewiston, ME, and Motion State Arts in Providence, RI, bringing an exciting emerging artist to the region over from fall 2025 to summer 2026.</p>
