Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater returns under the leadership of new Artistic Director Alicia Graf Mack with two programmes showcasing the best of the pioneering company’s repertory.
The Legacy programme presents classics by Alvin Ailey including excerpts of the jazz-infused Night Creature; the lyrical, yearning A Song For You; and an excerpt of the transcendent solo Cry. This programme also features Ronald K. Brown’s spellbinding Grace, a rapturous blend of modern and West African dance.
The New Works programme highlights creations by some of the most respected contemporary choreographers, including Medhi Walerski’s intriguing Blink of an Eye; Lar Lubovitch’s ethereal Many Angels; Jamar Roberts’ meditative Song of the Anchorite; and Judith Jamison’s sensual duet A Case of You.
Both programmes conclude with Alvin Ailey’s iconic Revelations, the ultimate anthem to resilience and joy. Since its premiere in 1960, Revelations has been performed continuously around the globe, making it the most widely seen modern dance work in the world.
Nearly seven decades after its founding, the company that defines artistic excellence and Black cultural legacy, continues to propel dance in exhilarating new directions.
