Alvin Ailey American Dance Theatre Performance & Pre-Show Meet Up
Celebrate Alvin Ailey American Dance Theatre by reveling in the passion of the dancers during their month-long season on the home stage in NYC. What better way to enjoy the performances than with your fellow MHC alums, family and friends.
This evening's performance will feature these works:
The world premiere of Difference Between: Matthew Neenan and Helen Christian contribute wild abandon and raw power to an intricate world of strange tensions, potent griefs and quiet loves
Blink of an Eye: In an intriguing piece that probes the relationship between dance and music, Medhi Walerski lays bare the strength and vulnerability inherent in the creative process.
A Case of You: This sensual duet—an excerpt from Judith Jamison’s 2005 Reminiscin’—is an emotionally intense showstopper danced to Diana Krall’s sultry rendition of the classic Joni Mitchell song.
The world premiere of Song of the Anchorite: Renowned Ailey choreographer Jamar Roberts gives a fresh take on the 1961 solo Hermit Songs, Alvin Ailey’s reaction to a set of medieval religious texts and the haunting song cycle by Samuel Barber that they inspired.
Grace:Ronald K. Brown’s spellbinding piece is a fervent tour-de-force depicting individuals on a journey to the promised land.
