Overview

Blink of an Eye by Mehdi Walerski is a fast-paced, high-energy contemporary dance work driven by precision and momentum. The choreography captures fleeting moments, shifting instantly between control and release.

Blink of an Eye by Mehdi Walerski explores speed, awareness, and the tension between instinct and structure. Sharp transitions and continuous motion create a sense of urgency, as if time is constantly slipping forward. The work highlights Walerski’s athletic and musical style, where split-second choices shape the entire experience.

A Case of You by Judith Jamison is a deeply personal and expressive solo that explores love, longing, and emotional vulnerability. The work reveals the quiet power of intimacy through restrained yet resonant movement.

A Case of You by Judith Jamison is an iconic solo that embodies reflection, devotion, and emotional depth. Set to Joni Mitchell’s song, the choreography unfolds with simplicity and honesty, allowing feeling to guide each gesture. It stands as a timeless expression of Jamison’s artistry, presence, and ability to communicate profound emotion through movement.

Song of the Anchorite by Jamar Roberts is a meditative and emotionally charged work that explores solitude, faith, and inner resilience. The choreography balances stillness and intensity, drawing the audience into a deeply reflective space.

Song of the Anchorite by Jamar Roberts is a contemplative dance work inspired by themes of isolation, devotion, and spiritual searching. Through restrained yet powerful movement, the choreography evokes a sense of inward focus and quiet strength. The piece reflects Roberts’ signature ability to merge emotional depth with refined physical expression, creating an atmosphere of reverence and introspection.

Revelations by Alvin Ailey is a powerful modern dance masterpiece inspired by African American spirituals and lived experience. The work expresses struggle, faith, and joy through deeply emotional and communal movement.

Revelations by Alvin Ailey is an iconic dance work that traces a journey from sorrow to hope using music rooted in African American spirituals. Through a blend of modern dance, ballet, and jazz influences, the choreography reflects resilience, spirituality, and collective memory. It remains a timeless celebration of the human spirit and one of the most influential works in modern dance history.

The expression "How many angels can dance on the head of a pin?” is a question with no logical answer. "Why do you make dances?” is another. Occasionally something may exist in the world simply for the sake of itself—for example, a dance. Many Angels is a dance to music by Gustav Mahler. It is not really about angels. (Well, maybe a little.)

Many Angels is a contemporary dance work that reveals the quiet power of introspection and emotional presence. Created for the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, the ballet unfolds as a meditation on humanity, compassion, and the invisible bonds that unite individuals.

With subtle, expressive choreography and carefully sculpted group dynamics, Many Angels evokes images of guardianship, empathy, and spiritual support. The dancers move between solitude and togetherness, suggesting that even in moments of isolation, no one truly stands alone. The work’s atmosphere is intimate and contemplative, inviting the audience to reflect on their own sources of strength and comfort.

Many Angels speaks in a restrained yet deeply moving language, affirming the enduring role of connection, care, and hope in the human experience.
