Alvin Ailey Presents POLISH PIECES, Beginning Tonight

Alvin Ailey presents Polish Pieces, tonight, December 27 - February 15.

In this exuberant ensemble work, Dutch choreographer van Manen displays his mastery for building dazzling creations from simple motifs and geometric patterns. Driven by the rhythms of Henryk Górecki's score, the dancers come together and disperse in endlessly shifting formations that culminate in two sensual pas de deux.

A dazzling gem of colorful and playful movement built on simple motifs and geometric patterns. The ensemble of dancers create a brilliant kaleidoscope of energy that's contrasted with two sensual and lyrical pas de deux. As Artistic Director Emerita Judith Jamison remarks, "Polish Pieces is quite wonderful. It shows how still we can be. How quiet. How dynamic and textured the company can be and how wonderful we look in bright colors. There's nothing like an Ailey body in,...shocking colors!"
