LIFT

Choreographer: ASZURE BARTON

This propulsive world premiere by in-demand choreographer Aszure Barton accentuates the vitality and physical prowess of the Ailey company. Driven by the dancers’ passion, skill and collective power, the work was created over a developmental process with the entire Company. The percussive score, composed by Curtis Macdonald, is infused with the infectious energy and heart that she observed in her initial encounters with the Ailey dancers.

MINUS 16

Choreographer: OHAD NAHARIN

Featuring an eclectic score ranging from Dean Martin to mambo, techno to traditional Israeli music, Ohad Naharin’s Minus 16 uses improvisation and Naharin’s acclaimed “Gaga” method, a unique movement language that breaks down old habits, pushing the dancers to challenge themselves in new ways.

REVELATIONS

Choreographer: ALVIN AILEY

Using African-American spirituals, song-sermons, gospel songs and holy blues, Alvin Ailey’s Revelations fervently explores the places of deepest grief and holiest joy in the soul.

GRACE

Choreographer: RONALD K. BROWN

One of the most popular works in the Ailey repertory, Ronald K. Brown’s spellbindingGrace is a fervent tour-de-force depicting individuals on a journey to the promised land.

EPISODES

Choreographer: ULYSSES DOVE

Ulysses Dove’s Episodes is a starkly passionate interpretation of the power struggles involved in human relationships. Set to a sparse, percussive score by Robert Ruggieri with the choreography contained along two diagonally-lit paths, private battles between the sexes play out for all to see onstage. Moments of tension, explosive confrontation, and unresolved longing are drawn out as duos partner with complete abandon.
