Make a splash

Two years ago, when everyone was making short dance films, the young choreographer Jordan Demetrius Lloyd created one of the better ones, a work of unsettling beauty called “Williamson.” Last year, he made a splash with a free show in a schoolyard near his Bedford-Stuyvesant apartment, sharing what he does with his neighbors. Now he’s back inside, for his first evening-length commission, “Blackbare in the Basement,” in which eight dancers interact in unpredictable sequences of dreamlike ambiguity.
