On the heels of sold-out performances in Germany, Austria, and France, Ailey II makes its triumphant return to Columbus with an exciting program containing a world premiere, a company premiere, and a world-renowned Ailey classic.
Sold out performances in Germany, Austria, and France, launched Ailey II's first ever global tour that will visit a total of 49 cities throughout Europe and North America. Now at the peak of its popularity, the Company has reached a new level of prominence as young American cultural ambassadors, using the beauty and humanity of the African-American experience and the American Modern dance tradition to inspire and unite people of all backgrounds.
Today, the Ailey organization announced that Tracy Inman and Melanie Person have been named Co-Directors of The Ailey School. Since the passing of Denise Jefferson, the beloved long-time Director of The Ailey School, Inman and Person have served as Acting Co-Directors.
Recently hailed as 'second to none' by Dance Magazine, Ailey II, the celebrated junior company of America's cultural ambassador to the world, Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, will embark on its first international tour, giving over 35 performances throughout Europe in Germany, Austria, France, and United Kingdom.
Judith Jamison today announced that her mantle as Artistic Director of Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater will pass to Robert Battle, a fast-rising choreographer who has created ballets for the Ailey company and Ailey II since 1999 and has served as an artist-in-residence with The Ailey School.
After performing for audiences in more than 30 U.S. cities over the past six months, Ailey II, the celebrated second company of Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, will take the stage at The Joyce Theater as part of the 1.2.3. Festival from April 13-22. 'After being on the road for the majority of last year, the dancers absolutely love coming home to perform in the epicenter of the dance world,' Artistic Director Sylvia Waters says.
This is a rare opportunity to enjoy an Alvin Ailey performance -- and to support a very worthy local cause, Bridgeport's Music and Arts Center for Humanity (MACH) - providing arts education to Fairfield County children at-risk and those with special needs for over 30 years.
