Alessandra Corona Performing Works Spring Season 2026 at Theatre at St. Jean's

New York, NY — Alessandra Corona Performing Works presents an evening of contemporary dance premiering three new creations by Alessandra Corona, Wesley Ensminger, and Miguel Miranda, developed in collaboration with the Company. The program brings together distinct choreographic voices in a shared exploration of identity, connection, and transformation, featuring “Chew”, “Hold,Hinder”, “Kawsay” and “Unexpected Gift”.

The Program Includes:

Chew Choreographed by Madeline Burr in collaboration with the Company “Chew” unravels labels and appearances, moving between a tightly held sense of self and complete disintegration. What happens when repetition tips into chaos—when rage, humor, or exhaustion break through the surface? In this cycle of being built up and torn down, the dancers invite audiences into a space where identity is consumed, dismantled, and reshaped again and again. Music by Colin Stetson (“All This I Do for Glory,” “Spindrift”) and Arcade Fire & Owen Pallett (“Morning Talk / Supersymmetry”).

Hold, Hinder Choreographed by Wesley Ensminger in collaboration with the Company “Hold, Hinder” explores the ever-shifting nature of human connection—what we hold onto, what fades, and what lingers. Tracing moments across past and present, the work captures the fleeting intersections that shape memory and meaning. Music Composition by Wesley Ensminger Tracks by Johann Johannsson and Yair Elazar Glotman, Giants Zilbalodis and Rihards Zalupe, Nate Archer, The Caretaker, and Vera Lynn

Unexpected Gift Choreographed by Alessandra Corona in collaboration with the Company "Unexpected Gift" is a deeply moving work that uses the physical language of the body to navigate the non-linear journey of grief and the human capacity for resilience. The piece suggests that healing and comfort exist as an internal gift within each of us. Original music by Thomas Lentakis Music by Ran Bagno

Kawsay Choreographed by Miguel Miranda in collaboration with the Company in collaboration with the Company Rooted in a folkloric sensibility and shaped by a cinematic gaze, Kawsay unfolds as a sequence of shifting images. The ensemble finds its center through rhythm and physical intensity within a landscape of constant transformation—always moving toward what is about to emerge.
